Comment Re: This was the best... (Score 1) 252

The sad thing is that it was great - that said, only season 2 and 3 were very consistent in that greatness.

4 was rushed and it showed with the terrible resolutions to the Earth Civil War and Shadow War. 5 was awful except for the Centari storyline. Season 1 was good but only in hindsight.

The solution to the Shadow War was awful and really felt like a cheat. More set up should have been given for the Shadows fear of abandonment ("so we will not be alone?") as a motivation that end the war. The Vorlons were very uneven as well. If Kosh 1 was the only one that cared about humans, why did the Vorlon fleet fight the shadows? And why did Kosh 1 not do more - anything - to fill Sheridan in on what the war was really about?

Who commanded them in a war against his own people? Who had previously sworn an oath to Earth? Who killed (rightly or wrongly) thousands of humans and left Earth nearly defenseless? ......

As it happened, the most compelling story JMS had (President Clark and the Civil War) was the one that got short shrift because of the looming threat of cancellation. More's the pity.

I agree with this 100%. When Sheridan reacted in rage after the EA ship destroyed the civilian ship, I was pissed. It was very familiar to the way Delenn reacted that started the Earth - Mimbari war.) Especially when he acted like he was going into a fair fight with the white star fleet at his disposal.

And toward your comments earlier about the messiah Sheridan... it was very frustrating watching because everything Garibaldi was saying and complaining about regarding Sheridan was true. I would have loved to see the crew more evenly split among choosing Sheridan or Garibaldi.

The media used the term "anti-gov" types, patriots, and extreme right wingers. I didn't see any reference to neo-nazis. The media have gone out of it's way to link those terms with the tea party and you damn well that was the implication.

In any case, it turned out the right-wing "extremest" had nothing to do with the attack.

Also, show me the evidence of all the right wing nutjobs bombings and shootings and I can show you that the progressive nutjobs are just as bad
