and so it ends

We finally finished Babylon 5 on Friday night. I loved it, although I found Series 5 a bit disappointing, and the last two episodes positively mawkish.

I shall watch it again next year, to pick up all the bits I missed.

I think Lennier is the tragic character. Having finally realised his love will always be unrequited and going down the French Foreign Legion route he then screws that up with a desperate attempt to eliminate his rival. He then takes the only route short of death, exile.

G'Kar & Londo were wonderful, at war with each other but by dint of their choices to help the races ending up in the same state. And yes, Katsulas was superb, and got all the best speeches.

Vir is the one I think closest to us all. Dragged along, caught up the stream, powerless to avoid the upheaval of the changes around him even when he understood some of the reasons and could see solutions.

No Boom today. Boom tomorrow, always Boom tomorrow.
