...thinking it would arrive in time for the weekend, yea right...

Some really retarded fool managed to pack a fraction of what was ordered. Article numbers, price or weight didn't match that what was suppose to arrive yesterday. How stupid can one get!? Let me just say, I was less then pleased... read, kicking everything in my apartment, yelling, screaming...

Sure, I should have return the package unwrapped, but then I wouldn't be sitting here with my "now completed" order

I was dead set on having the order this weekend so I called them (hoping to be able to yell at someone, actually)
Naturally, there smart enough to put nice people at their call center who helped me get what was wrongfully delivered, over disk. So, I left "their hideout" and am now just sitting here gazing at the package.

It's my first big box, ever... Babylon 5: The ultimate collection.
I guess, I'll have to do some quick research on in which end to start my upcoming marathon. Probably will go with production year.

Anyways... rant is over and me is    again. Collection +55

Most excellent series.

Season 5 seemed to be an added-on afterthought but the first four seasons - excellent.

JMS is brillient.  He had the major action points for the whole Shadow War planned out and as he wrote each script, he had the whole show already acted out in his head.

The show was supposed to have 5 seasons but faced cancellation, Therfore the main arc was finished in season 4. After it was done, it was continued and JMS was out-of-story (at least for the first half season). The second half was like what he wanted to have as last half season.

Well... after just 4 episodes of the first season it is turning out just as I hoped... excellent!

Thanks for the input guys, I have those in mind whenever I get to season 5.

With a few episodes left of season 5, I'm feeling a little sad it all is over soon 
I haven't really decided what to do when that happens, although I'm contenplating starting over again   jumping over some episodes here and there.

I definitly got the feeling "the arc" was over with season 4, and yea, little too much add-on'ish with season 5.

Let it sink in a few weeks and then do a re-run.

It's most impressive how many hints are given in earlier episodes which you only recognize in the 2nd or 3rd run when you already know the entire story.

...and so it is over, as it always is.

That last episode was really tough to watch, went all sentimental and stuff...

Though I was little annoyed over the reoccurring CGI effects in season 1, they got much better in season 2 and beyond.
This story was probably the most satisfying "thing" I have ever seen.

If you want a series that never ends, try Twin Peaks...   

You can watch it hundreds of times and still discover new things.....
