Ok @Brainsploosh@lemmy.world - you are absolutely correct - this is an amazing series. I’m gonna confess that it was a very hard slog for me to get through the first 2.5 seasons, but then it just became this neverending stream of “wait… what??? woah!!!”. I’m in the second half of season four and I’m kinda blown away. I’m absolutely certain I’ll be re-watching it to find some of that weaving you mentioned. Thanks again for your description.

Well - thanks for that - I’m giving it another go. “Long arcs” definitely reel me in :)

I have to confess that I’ve never been able to get into Babylon 5. I’ve tried several times starting from the first episode but I’ve never found myself “sucked in”. TBH it has always struck me as political soap opera with lots of makeup.

But as I said - I’ve never gotten into it, and I’ve read many times that it is great. So - I really want to like it.

I think I’d be in your debt if you sell me on it - at what point(s) might I be so into this show that I just can’t stop watching?

I lived on a boat for many years and most of those at commercial fishing docks. Someone left a 5 gallon bucket of anchovies out in front of their boat on the dock for a couple days - with the cover on. I was present when it was opened. PTSD level bad.
