It's like (again) living in Babylon 5. President Clarke pushing Earth Alliance to a full right wing dictatorship. Anti alien rhetoric. Control politics. Anyone not supporting it is arrested. Protests banned. Lies all day. God this guy wrote a masterpiece. @straczynski.bsky.social #B5 #Babylon5 - ThreadSky

I've been thinking a lot about Mr. Morden and his fate of late....

Wait... Musk... I've been pondering how Musk would almost need to meet a fate like Morden to sooth the growing public ire.

There's a whole lotta Vir out there.

Vir doing his wave to Mr. Morden was one of the most gratifying scenes in television history.

Thank you @straczynski.bsky.social.

Did you ever notice that Mr. Morden was part of the CnC crew in the pilot? Wonder who he was talking to back then.

gtcarisson.bsky.social•4 days ago

I am in complete agreement with you.

Same feelings from Hungary. We’re sliding to this state slowly but steady since 2010.

Don't forget colluding with the enemy.

Can we jump to clarke's last scene in the show and skip all the bad steps.

I've been rewatching some of the key eps in the Clark Ark lately and it's just so so so spot on. If only we had Delenn to come save the day.

It's one of those things I think he really would have wanted to be wrong about.

I'm watching the show for the first time right now and today's episode was "Voices of Authority" and yeah...show was frighteningly prescient.

This post goes to show how Babylon 5 still lives on and has aged so well.
I'm proud of all of you.

I'm due for a re-watch: Currently doing Scrubs and X-Files.
