The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I've probably watched all of B5 about 10 times or more. Going through another cycle right now. Just watched the first episode of season 2 today, having finished season 1 yesterday, so this is very fresh. I think if I was going to introduce a friend to it, I'd say to skip season 1 entirely.

There's a lot of stuff that feels like filler in season 1, even though I think quite a few of those episodes are actually trying to introduce lore in a sneaky way. Like, the Soul Hunter episode feels a lot like hot garbage, but it does put some important lore in your head. Similar with the episode that they find some ancient organic alien technology. Plus, I think everybody will instantly like Sheridan in a way that never happened with Sinclair.

I've grown to like season 1, but it took several watches before it stopped bothering me.

You just have to keep people tied up for the first 3 or 4 episodes. After that, they still won't like the show, but will be invested into so many questions that the first 5 seasons will barely answer any amount of them.

Do you have a source where to watch it? Star Trek is often available on streaming but I've not found B5 yet (in Germany).

Hum... Not from .world, I can't.

(Or seriously, in Brazil you can't legally watch it either.)

We need a GoG for videos...

Hey

[–] anzo@programming.dev 1 points 20 hours ago

If that's what they want...

I ended up "buying" it off of Amazon digital. Before I had "purchased" it, it had been variously bouncing around free or ad-supported streaming services like Prime and Tubi. I stopped paying attention to that stuff after I "bought" it, though.

(All that stuff in quotes because you don't really own it, but I'm at least using whatever I paid for.)

Thank you! I agree with the quotes. Something like DRM free GoG would be great for videos... but I also don't know any service like that.
