When it came to politics, Jerry Doyle and I disagreed on, well, pretty much everything. Politically, Jerry was just to the right of Attila the Hun. There i

Pancakes
He just made his pancakes in the shape of the station <3
No photo because it just looks like a messy pancake, but to him it is perfection :-D
Can't be over yet
In the Shadow of Z'ha'dum's credits start to roll, and my son turns back to me, from the position on the sofa that he slowly inched forward to throughout the second half of the episode and questioned: "is that right? It can't be over yet. It only felt like 10 or 15 minutes, not 45". Oh boy, the race is on! Things just got real. Big decisions have been made, large reveals have been given, and he is excited, but not as excited as me š. "They probably set a lot of stuff up in this one, didn't they?" "Yep!" Afterward he started hypothesizing on Shadow reproduction since we only saw one wake up when the Icarus arrived... Something I never would have taken that literally, but he did.
The Coming of Shadows - Unforgetable
"I'll probably never forget last night's episode. It was THAT good." My son was a bundle of emotions last night as we stayed up late to catch up on our Babylon 5 viewing. "Why do people have to die?! He is like their King, it makes it that much harder" he bawled on my shoulder as Emperor Turhan lay on his bed speaking to Dr Franklin. Good talk about leading a thoughtful life. Making choices, and making a difference. "It is he name of the whole season, this episode, that is important." "That message from 'St. Clair' (as he calls Sinclair) was sooo nice" and "they are building an army, I wonder how big an army is in the future".
Starship Catan
My son is working on his own expansion pack for Settlers of Catan. Inspired by Babylon 5. He is working it out with his sister in the other room. The Development Cards can award technology points, that make it easier to build. It costs two rocks for a starfury, and five for a station. Other details are fuzzy atm. Love their creativity.

āThatās so awesomeā
Last weekend we had a bonus episode to make up for the weeks we missed.Ā We did it in the middle of the day which was totally unusal, but it did mean we could then talk about it for what felt like hours instead of the usual few minutes before he goes off to bed when we watch it at night.Ā That was nice.
Last night my wife mentioned he was looking forward to tonightās adventure.
Tonight, again to catch up, we doubled up with A VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS.Ā āThatās so awesomeā he said near the beginning.Ā And repeated through out.Ā I wish I wasnāt so tired, I nodded off a couple of times, but he really got a kick out of it all.Ā Lots of questions about who is who and stuff, but when we paused it a few times he had good guesses about what was going to happen.Ā Plus, he knew about āThe Great Machineā from some of the background Iāve talked about in the past so it wasnāt a big surprise for him, but the giant room of giant machines really got the job done for inspiring awe too.
Heās excited about Babylon 4 returning next week.Ā I confirmed that they go onto it when it returns.Ā āI wonder if they will still be the same age?Ā Is there anyone on it, Jinxo said as he left he looked back to see it vanish?ā
2nd week without a B5 :-(
My wife is out of town on holiday with her Mum. My son hasnāt wanted to watch B5 with me for the past two Fridays.Ā Hmpf.Ā Guess heās feeling he gets enough of me as is, he doesnāt need the bonus one-on-one?Ā He has been dreaming of space though he says, and he thinks B5 is part of that.
Minecraft Jumpgate
He made a Jumpgate in Minecraft today.Ā Even used one of the ānetherworldā portals to power it.Ā He was constructing a station near by and sending star furies out into the portal.Ā
To Skip or not to Skip?
We were settling in for TKO Friday night when the thought occurred to me... maybe we skip it? Ā After coming off Signs and Portents the week before, I was realizing that going one episode a week really highlights the non-arc episodes that much more, and the first season has a lot of non-arc. Ā I was trying to determine what my son would miss from the episode, and maybe other episodes if I did this once Iād be inclined to do it again.
I decided to give him the choice, and he said letās watch it anyway. Ā Well... we ended up fast forwarding all the Mutai stuff -- he wasnāt keen on the one-on-one fighting -- and just tried to process Ivanovaās grief.
Are there any episodes that you are fine to skip on re-watch? Ā Do you feel it is untrue to the series to not watch them all, or are you ok picking and choosing your favourites? Ā Do you ever go back and watch some episodes totally out of sequence, or can you only watch them as a whole?
The future is always changing. We create the future, with our words, our deeds and with our beliefs.

Ethnic restaurants and gravity bills on B5
The wheels keep turning in my sons brain. Today he asked about restaurants on Babylon 5. He was thinking about all the various races we saw in this week's episode, Deathwalker, and thinking about where they all ate. Knowing that we eat at various different ethnic earth restaurants he was wondering if there was a variety of ethnic Narn restaurants ethnic Minbari restaurants and Pak'mra restaurants (I didn't go into you what the pacarana eat yet). I shared what I knew about the Swedish meatballs and their universal appeal, but I couldn't answer him otherwise. Later in the day he questioned if they had to pay a gravity bill. He knew that the station was rotating to generate the sense of gravity and he figured that energy was required to allow the rotation and wanted to know if everybody had to chip in their share so their feet could stay on the ground.
Local politics of B5
My son brought up an interesting question which I don't recall having seen being covered before in the mythos of Babylon 5 -- what about the local government?
We participated in our municipal elections recently as volunteers for our city councilor and he was wondering what the equivalent on B5 was?Ā For the residents themselves, not the military staff and not the ambassadorial staff, who represents the people?Ā Is there a 'mayor' of B5 (or is that covered under 'Governor' which we've (well not my son yet) heard the Captain use before?Ā At different times of day is the council chamber filled with reps from Blue, Grey, Green sector etc?Ā Is there a 'school board' that oversees some type of educational body... anyway, one of those things to ask the Great Maker someday I guess if one has a lot of time on their hands.
Methane breathers
My son just came up to me and started giggling. He said "I just thought of something". "What's that?" I asked. "The methane breathersā¦ They are actually fart breathers." The humour in the alien sector as seen by an 8 year old.
Conversation Starter
Babylon 5 is nothing if it isnāt a Conversation Starter.Ā
Last night we had a great exchange about expressions of intimacy after he bashfully inquired about Sinclair and Catherine and their onscreen kissing and onscreen implied nakedness under the sheets.Ā āAre they married in real life?ā he asked.Ā And off we went from there.Ā For some reason when we started I thought it would be all about the story itself, but going through this exposure to ātelevisionā as a tool and the craft of the production of the story too is a great angle I had not anticipated.
This evening we were talking about choices, so I used the truth in B5 and its central theme of choices, their consequences, and taking responsibility for those consequences and used it to some effect to get my point across, as well as tease for more adventure ahead.Ā Here is a quotation of JMSās Iāll toss in:
If there is any moral or message behind the show, it has always been that the three-issue phrase Iāve used in Ā from time to time: Ā choices, consequences, and responsibility. Ā The world, at large, tries to tell you that you have no choice, that you have to do things the party-way, that you canāt fight city hall, and that you are, basically, ineffective. Ā I donāt believe this for a hot second, and neither should you.
You do have choices; those choices have consequences; and you have to bear the responsibility for those things. Ā
JMS in an interview with Science-Fiction Media in Transition
Delennā¦ sort of a companion piece to Adira. If she was a blooming sprint, I think this is a peaceful summer.Ā
A nice illustration of Delenn I came across.Ā My son doesnt' really know about her transformation yet though, so I'll save it for later for him.

The voice overs during the opening credits. My son asked what season 2's was, so I checked them all. I had first three mostly memories. Five I don't even recognize seeing it written out.
Papercraft spacecraft to "help Babylon 5 out".
I was worried last night that I was pushing the show too much, when he told me he was having 'nightmares' and was thinking about 'monsters' a lot more. The only source of conflict I could think of was our recent viewings of the show. But maybe even if the source of that is the violence in the show, perhaps this type of spontaneous creation balances it out? He went on for five or more minutes describing the functions of this ship, or it operates, and how it connects with the station. He is enthused at the moment he is planning to make a fleet.
He is now also quoting the opening monologue to his sister.
