Yes, exactly. In a way, re-watches are even more enjoyable than the first viewing, picking up on hints that we didn't notice first time around. Things that seemed throwaway first on viewing suddenly make sense.

I love Babylon squared, and the two-part A Voice in the Wilderness, some of my favourite season 1 episodes, although there are so many I love it's hard to say which is my favourite. I wouldn't know where to start, except to say there are a few I like less, lol.

Londo piloting the craft is one of his most joyous scenes, trying to figure out which control is the landing thrusters. He gets so many tragic and soul-destroying scenes later, remembering that happy moment keeps me from hating him. If he had answered Morden differently, how would his life have turned out:?

There are a number of phrases JMS seemed fond of, but that one graces a lot of significant moments. Not wanting to spoil you, but I will say you'll see more of Draal and the Great Machine eventually. They have significant roles to play, they weren't forgotten.

I'll see how much of disc 5 I can watch tonight. Three episodes certainly, I'm not going to leave A Voice in the Wilderness hanging halfway through! I love Zathras, by the way. Very underrated character.

One of the things I love about B5 is the way it mixes really powerful drama with comedy. Practically every episode has humerous moments that break up the tension.

Please excuse any typos I missed. I'm a one finger typist and I often hit the wrong keys, or two at once, then delete the wrong letter. Off to listen to Legacies while doing some sewing up.
