Moments of Transition
I've almost entirely forgotten the storyline with Garibaldi.
No offense to it, its been years since I've watched these, I've forgotten most things.
But the scenes with the Starfire Wheel?
I always remember those.
"Will you follow me into fire?"
and then
"I was born Warrior caste.
But I see now...
...the calling of my heart is Religious."
That was just... wow. And it being Neroon... makes total sense and makes it that much more of a surprise. That worked so well. He was always turning up to be a pain in the neck, but he was always trying to do the right thing, fighting on principle. So when his boss starts going on about how there should be war only for gain, you can see him react. And everything he does fits.
The bit with the new Grey Council worries me though. I mean putting the Worker caste in charge sounds great in principle, but its running parrallel to a story about the power of the corporations on Earth, yesno? So its maybe like putting business in charge? I liked better the balanced version. Except it wasn't in practice balanced, is what they were saying.
B5 is always about the big questions. Is very fun.
And now its 3 in the morning and I should have been asleep long ago. This the problem with DVDs, I have all of them right here and I have to think up reasons not to just sit and watch.
