It was the dawn of the third age of mankind. Ten years after the Earth Minbari war. The Babylon project was dream giving form. It's goal to prevent another war by creating a place where humans and aliens could work out their differences peacefully. It's a port of call. Home away from home for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs, and wanders. Humans and aliens wrap in two million five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal, all alone in the night. It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last best hope for peace. This is the story of last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2258. The name of the place is Babylon 5.

What an absolutely amazing story! I thought it was reasonably well paced as well. Best week of recovering from covid ever.

Sheridan getting shafted by Earth in the end and still out politicking them was the chef's kiss. After watching that over one week, What now?

Interesting, the story feels finished to a certain degree. I'll go looking for this third space movie.

The reason it feels finished is they were green lit for 5 seasons, part way through season 4 they were told no season 5 then after S4 they were green lit for season 5 again.

I had a peek at season 5, new captain and no ivanova. The new captain has some of the Ivanova attributes from what I can see in the first episode.

First impressions I don't think it's a huge loss, I found ivanova the least engaging of everyone, Marcus was an interesting foil for her as he was so engaging.
