  OK so like. Yes that is literally the question here. Are you gonna give us the slightly cooled by the passage of time B5 hot take or…?

    I’ll give one. Despite Sheridan and Delenn giving that speech about rejecting the Shadows and Vorlons and making their own way, the Vorlons won. The Army of Light, the Rangers, and the Interstellar Alliance are all in line with Vorlon philosophy, they run on Vorlon tech, most members were Vorlon allies, and they still oppose former Shadow allies and destroy Shadow tech when they find it.

    Another is that the Shadows should have had their own Kosh, a character who was still comitted to the original goal and hadn’t succumbed to motive decay. Shadows believe in strength through adversity, so one setting up obstacles with the expectation that the cast would overcome them and grow stronger cpuld have been interesting.

    Your post made me realize B5 is nowhere near dead. It’s just resting. Lensman series anyone?

      Unfortunately most of the main cast is though.

      Here's a take on Lensman - we need more anime versions. Oh, and Jade in DC used to be the best version of a Second Stage Lensman in any media (pity about her brother tho).

    I’ve always thought John Sheridan was a super meh character. I think Bruce Boxleitner did a decent job but his lines were often super cheesy IMO.
