My Thoughts:

Well, some parts of the movie was really funny. Others were, umm....disturbing? Idk, some humor in this is simply not my taste, though others, my dad included, would find it hilarious.

When I decided to watch this one I expected more of the same. And it really is... but in my personal opinion... I liked this one even more. As I feel it has the better background story. Still just mindless action fun. But sometimes you just need a movie like that. I am now looking forward to checking out the final two films in the franchise.... unfortunately I do not have access to those quite yet.

Babylon 5: Marathon, a review by DJ Doena

Synopsis: Now the Shadows use a Planet Killer of their own and they attack planets that supported the Vorlons. Meanwhile Londo tries to assassinate emperor Carthagia. And Sheridan plans to lure the Vorlons and the Shadows into the same solar system to confront them.

My opinion: It's a decision I'd never would want to make. To command people to go into battle where they might die is one thing. But to order a mission where the soldiers have to die in order to accomplish the mission it is totally differnt thing.


Synopsis: Parts of the White Star fleet are attacking Vorlon outposts to delay the arrival of the Vorlon fleet at Coriana 6. Meanwhile Londo tries to get rid of the Shadow vessels on his planet and he learns about the truth of how Lady Adira (see "Interludes and Examinations") actually die. And then the greatest battle of our time begins...

My opinion: The Shadow war may be over. But the story isn't over yet. It's quite intersting to see that races like the Vorlons and the Shadows, both millions of years old, are still frightened of the unknown, of what lays ahead. And even they feel more secure if they are accompanied by someone who is even older than they are. But now the younger races have this galaxy for themselves. Let's see what they make of it.


Synopsis: Bester arrives at the station and tells the crew of the new sanctions that Earth president Clark has put into place. But his informations come - as usually - at a price. Meanwhile Mr. Garibaldi quits his job as chief of security.

My opinion: Something's going on with Garibaldi, that's for sure. It was aain a good Bester episode but in the great picture it's one of the transition episodes between the Shadow war and the liberation of Earth.

Quote of the episode:
Bester: "The corps is mother. The corps is father". Lyta: "In that case, Mr. Bester, I'm an orphan."


Synopsis: A team of reports from ISN tries to sneak on the station but they are caught. Nonetheless they get permission to make a report about the stations and its crew. The "documentation" is shown at the end of the episode.

My opninion: It's the second time a TV show is aboard Babylon 5. And it is perfectly shown what power lies in the hand of the media. If they want to they can twist every fact into its exact opposite. In the eastern bloc there was a joke: Russians and americans do a race. The americans win. But when it comes to the news it goes like this: "In a race today the russian team achieved a very good second place. The americans however were only the last but one."
