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?
Does anyone have an idea if this is anywhere near the mass needed to account for "dark matter"? It sounds like something that (if true) would at least change the math a bit... ?
It is honestly really frustrating to see the issue of relative harm just get flat out ignored. "Vaping is bad" - you never see it compared in any sensible way to alcohol, cigarettes, formaldehyde from carpets - what have you (all of which are more or less bad). "Even drinking water can harm the body" is about as useful a statement. This is so tiresome - we're not children.
