Well the tentacle penii do that, but admittedly showing it on a routine basis would change the show's rating.
Well I finished season 1 of Babylon 5

I just finished season 2 and that was amazing. The look on Londo's face out of the ship window as the Narn homeworld is being turned into rubble right below.
He's become a full on monster, and the way he berated G'Kar at the council chamber. Soneone should have punched his lights out.
I feel sorry for the Narn.
Well I just can't wait for season 3

I'm not so sure. I think he was forever changed despite what happens near the end
The battle between The Narn and Shadows in The Long, Twilight Struggle Is one of my favorites. At the time, it was the most impressive battle sequence the show had produced. Christopher Franke's fantastic score conveyed the horror and futility of the moment, alongside G'Kar, whose prayers grew increasingly desperate.
The show just keeps ramping up from here.
I've been watching on a weekly basis, keeping up with Keith R.A. DeCandido's B5 rewatch reviews over on Reactormag,com. He's just reached the end of the second season.
It can be easy to drift away from a rewatch if you don't watch it often enough and tiresome if you watch it too often. Weekly is good, especially with something to tie into the routine, like KRAD's reviews. And weekly is how the show was meant to be seen in the first place, after all.
I guess we're getting used to 8-10 episode series these days, but I LOVED 22+ episode seasons (I'm old, it's what I grew up with). I never thought of any episode as filler - the more the merrier. Maybe there's an ep or two I don't find especially rewatchable, but I'd never think of it as filler (actually, I don't think you can call an ep filler if the show is episodic and not serialized like B5). 8-ep shows are over WAY too fast. Keep the experience coming as long as possible.
Yes, except Keith's rewatch is straight through instead of taking months off between seasons like in the original run.
Oh, not just months between seasons.
I was following along with the Tumblr 30th anniversary rewatch, which was following the original airdates, but that fell off, probably because of the inconsistencies in the original broadcast (like PTEN's peculiar practice of ending the "broadcast season" an episode or two before the end of the show's season, and airing the season finale immediately before the premiere of the next season, months after they sent out the last new episode), so a lot of people just watched straight through week to week and slipped out of sync, and then the account that was MC-ing it never posted the rewatch schedule for season 2.
I'm hoping to have my White Star model finished sometime this summer so I can do something special for the 30th anniversary of the season 3 premiere and the ship's debut.
Well, yes. I don't remember if the original run of B5 included reruns during the seasons, but if so, he's not imitating that either. There's no need to completely recreate the original viewing experience. No commercials, either.
There are commercials on the streamers I watch it on, but usually not as many as there were originally.
