    It is good to have friends, is it not, Mr. Garibaldi? Even if maybe only for a little while?

    It’s from Babylon 5, for anybody coming to the comments and wasn’t familiar with what show this is from.

      100% worth it. With the caveat that the effects aren’t good. The story and characters more than make up for it though.

      It’s widely considered the most contiguous SciFi series out there. The director started with 5 years of scripts and changed very little during production, other than losing the main character between seasons 2 and 3, due to medical complications. I personally consider Bab 5 to be as good, if not better than both Firefly and Farscape.

      In the past year it was released in 4K. As others have said, the effects are not great, but growing up in that era, it felt a little nostalgic.

      I was pretty hooked on it for a while. I got kinda burned out on the last season. It’s not that it wasn’t good, I just binged it too hard.

      It’s cheesy and cheap and often very manichaean. Yet, it’s very interesting and got me hooked to an extent that nothing on the Star Trek universe managed to.

      Much of season one is outright bad. The remaining seasons are really good.

    With holo decks everything is in universe. This could just be a holodrama.
