This would be the fourth installment of my “Worlds Of” series, this time in honor of my favorite sci-fi show of all time.

Though the show only lasted five seasons and the spin-off […]

Season three was loaded with significant episodes, many of which were clustered towards the end of the season. My second installment is therefore dedicated to the final six episodes of season three. Together, they developed or wrapped up some pretty big plot threads from this and other seasons and included (but were not limited to) […]

Season Three was named “Point of No Return” for good reason. It was the season where everything hit the fan and there was no going back. The Shadow War began, B5 broke away from the Earth Alliance, the temporal plot and purpose of the Great Machine was fulfilled, and Sheridan finally went to Z’ha’dum. So […]

In addition, the storyline was intense and layered, with the many plot threads that they had taken their time to set […]

I’m surprised it took me this long to do a review of this show. And who more fitting than me, its biggest fan! Okay, not really. In fact, when it comes to fandom, I’ve got nothing on some people out I’ve seen out there (you know who you are!) But let me assure you, I’m […]

One of the best science fiction shows of all time, in my humble estimation. And I know I’m not alone in this. I think I’ve watched the full series a couple of times over now. In fact, a few years back, some friends and I used to watch the reruns on DVD over a couple […]
