Like some kind of chump, I started my re-watch of the Babylon 5 a few months ago. I’m nearly done now, and HBOMax decides to start running remastered versions of the show. One can only wonder if the special effects work better now, and I’ve only got two of the TV Movies and the back half of Season 5 (the wheel spinning of fire, if you ask me, don’t @ me) to find out.
This is all to say that now more than any other time is a good one to start your own re-watch of Babylon 5. All of the more dramatic political machinations of that universe seem oddly quaint to the stormy present.
Speaking of HBOMax… There’s a better than even chance that by the time I do another one of these updates, I will have endured Zack Synder’s Justice League. I’m relatively sure it won’t be any better than the theatrical cut. I’m not even terribly sure I want to watch it. But it’s there, and it’s inevitable, and I should just start preparing myself now.
Oh, one more HBOMax note: I kinda liked Wonder Woman (1984) more than most people. Shrug. What can you do?
