Been going through #Babylon5 again, and I'm noticing the music, and many other aspects of the show, are pretty full of #Vaporwave resonances. Is there an available score soundtrack album, anyone know?
Major texturing for the #WhiteStar is finished. Check out that subsurface scattering on the aft fins in the last render!
Now it’s back to Modeler for a landing bay, meditation room, tiny crew, and I want to add some more greebles to the mechanical sections, they look a little plain. #LightWave3D #3DArt #Babylon5

"There is a hole in your mind.
What do you want?
No one here is exactly what he appears.
Nothing's the same any more..."
Sorry, reference impulse. Couldn't help it. These lines always go through my head upon hearing "And so it begins". #echolalia
Wow, I didn't realize how apropos these lines were to autistic self-realization.
Maybe even the later line: "You are the one who was."
(Reference is the opening lines from the intro sequence of season 5 of Babylon 5. Hearing them every episode burns them into your memory. Especially upon multiple watches. B5 fans will know what I mean.)

Babylon 5 was great and should never be remade or continued.
Yes, it had lazy Arthurian and Tolkien and Lovecraft references… among others.
But they worked alright for me.
What didn’t work for me was the alien languages.
Some alien writing just seemed to be English with the letters dingbatted.
And why were the Centauri basically Italians in all but actual vocabulary?
They did have an episode hanging a lampshade on that whole sci-fi convention — every species was going to demonstrate its religion, and all the earthers could think of was to go over the dozens of religions *we* have (instead of just one religion, one language, one ethnicity, one nation, one culture, one political system).
Anyway. As much as I’d like a remake with more expensive/elaborate sets and CGI — I don’t think it would work without Mira Furlan, Andreas Katsulas, Jeffrey Doyle, and others.

A little outside my normal wheelhouse, but I thought of doing this when my husband and I started our Babylon 5 re-watch. Vir is best boy.
Apropos of nothing, of course. Not thinking how nice it'd be to be able to use it for (more or less) its intended purpose at some point. Haha, just kidding... unless?
Today's #SideQuested is giving me big #Babylon5 vibes....

I’ll never tire of this intro or this series. We need its prophetic vision and the hope it offers right now. #Babylon5

Next week, we have a very special episode of A Dream Given Form coming your way!
Hosts Baz Greenland and Luke Winch are joined by very special guest Jason Carter to talk about his time playing Marcus Cole on #Babylon5!
Stay tuned...
While I don't love #TheExpanse, my - most likely unpopular - opinion is that it is better than #Babylon5
Hadn't appreciated how much two million, five hundred thousand tons of metal was till I tried spinning it myself
