Recently we had one of the largest fires in California history called the Park Fire.
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said Wednesday morning that 277 structures have been destroyed by the fire and 29 structures have been damaged.
On the TV they interviewed a man whose house survived. He said, “I thank god my house was spared”.
So, let me get this straight. God destroyed 277 homes but saved yours? If that’s god’s will then god is an asshole.
I like Babylon 5. Was kind of cheesy but I liked it anyway.
I don’t know what you’re talking about…
Londo was being totally serious- the Hokie-Pokey ***DOES NOT MEAN! A! THING!
If you’re talking about the CGI… keep in mind it was late-90’s sci-fi. They literally revolutionized CGI for TV.
(And the big battle with the league vs vorlons vs shadows? Held the record for most starships on the screen until Star Trek turned petty and did the Operation Return in DS9 *just to take it back.)
Bab5 definitely had its one liner humor, but it also hit hard in other ways. (Parliament of Dreams, the ending for example, coupled with delenn’s rant another time about what makes humans special: we build communities. It’s that diversity that makes us strong.)
(It also easily has the two Scariest Women of SciFi:tm:, one of whom is normally incredibly mild-mannered and the other is career military just doing her job and trying to do the right thing.)
It was definitely one of the best sci-fi series I’ve ever watched. But some of the dialogue and the banter between some of the people was kind of, I don’t know, maybe not cheesy but cute? Amusing? Wouldn’t mind watching it again. The '90s were a long time ago.
“I have to pee”.
“So… fasten zip? Zip fasten? Wanna talk socks?”
“Anatomically impossible, Mr Garibaldi. But you’re welcome to try, any time.”
(Okay, Walter was amazing as Bester… it took me a couple seasons to realize he was then same actor as Chekhov.)
Where are your nuclear wessels?
Wow, Babylon 5 is on Tubi, free with commercials. I am going to watch again.
