“Long after we are gone, our voices will linger in these walls, for as long as this place remains”…😢 gets me, every…damn…time!
"The part of us that is going will very much miss the part of us that is staying"
There is a tribute video made after Andreas Katsulas passed - it runs about 5 minutes and centres around that clip.
"we are all the sum of our tears": after reading his autobiography, it feels like JMS speaking from personal experience.
"All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain."
These last 4 episodes of season 5, 19-22 are absolutely heartbreaking to watch, I love them. I can barely watch them without crying. B5 is magical. Always will be.
If you compare B5 to Lord Of The Rings, that section is pretty much the final bits after the Scouring Of The Shire
They're great build-ups to the finale.
Garibaldi's parting is the hardest one for me. A callout to Christopher Franke's music as well!
That farewell speech from G'Kar... Its great, and I used a variation of once when I left a place.
Yeah, G'Kar has some of the best monologues, and so does Delenn. Love them.
Mega!! You didn't include Delenn saying 'I've never walked the full length of this place'
Such a touching line.
So many great lines in this episode. I just kind of focused on G'kar in this one being I think this is the last we see him.
G’Kar is such a great character. I love characters who show huge growth, and G’Kar has as much or more growth than Pippin and Merry of Lord of the Rings.
Your “teenager in the 90s / X-files” comment….
I hear that! 😂
Love those GREAT GKar monologues .
It's true that this and the next two episodes are very much gonna feel like wrapping things up, but the nice part is it sets up very well the fact that life is in fact going to continue. Things are gonna happen even once we leave the characters behind. Many shows fail this particular feeling and make it feel like everything is absolutely resolved. It's why I loved the endings of B5, TNG and DS9 so much. Because you knew there was more to the story, but we were going to leave the characters behind, at least for now.
_Heretic Babies_ sounds like a great name for a band.
Crusade actually did well, JMS ended it because the network wanted to make the show into a joke that fit the wants of the network - the only card JMS had was to take his bat and ball and go home, so he did.
X-Files, you say? There's an episode of B5: Crusade you're going to LOVE.
I am 5 or 6 episodes into Crusade...
@@MegaReacts You'll get there soon enough. There's only 13 episodes, sadly. You'll know the episode when you see it.
Let's not oversell it.
That Narn fanatic ought to have called G'Stan.
We could still get the adventures of Lyta and G'Kar in animated form. It wouldn't be the same, but better than nothing.
And I think there's at least one short story that covers some of it?
@@mayra3277 Don't remember, I'll have to look it up.
To me G'kar had the best lines
There's also Legend of the Rangers. Rather disappointing, BUT it has G'Kar. So it can't be all bad.
Cut out the weapons system sequences and the whole thing comes off better. And of course Katsulas’s last appearance as G’Kar is the best part of it.
I am starting to think that you're kind of unimpressed and disenchanted more as a subconscious reaction to the fact that you know that it's almost over. So the less impressed you are now, the less it hurts when it's all done.
Thing is that's how it felt watching it back when it aired, we knew it was only a couple of weeks till it was all over and yeah, it did hurt given we'd been watching it for 4+ years... and it makes sense, would you want a nice trip to end in a sudden neck snapping slamming of the breaks as you pull into the driveway or a slow deceleration into a gentle stop? Lets you have time to think about it all and take stock.
B5 ends on a nice gentle roll to a stop... but the car and future trips don't stop, at least not in universe.
..... die with a smile on your face....
I have a G'Kar bust to sell, or are you looking for something else B5 related?
I have the bust. The statue in this episode I was looking for.
@@MegaReacts I don't think this specific one in the episode was ever sold publicly. At least that size and proportions
It was nice to see garabaldi get some repentance.
I agree about your opinion on this episode btw. The episode is ok and has great stuff but it felt more like a wrap up stuff episode.
Decent enough, makes sense for a show in it's final steps. Just not the most compelling b5 episode.
Well as we're coming to the end of the series, its natural there would be wrapping up elements with the characters!
B5's ending eps are a little odd in that most shows use them to wrap up major story plot points (usually with a 'bang'). Here, JMS uses them to wrap up our character's stories as they relate to their time on B5. JMS always wanted to emphasize that what happened on B5, while extremely important, was just one moment in time, not only for the galaxy but for our characters. Life goes on.

Oh, don't get me wrong. No need to convince me how amazing this show was.
I was just comparing it for Babylon 5 standards. Any other shows, this would be fine. This show just had such high standards (bar the Byron stuff).
