Hello! Random stranger back again. I just finished Babylon 5 a few minutes ago and the first thing I thought of was this post. You inspired me to really put the effort in to finish the series. I'd recently finished the storyline people tend not to like in season 5 and today had a bit of spare time, so I started watching. And kept watching. I believe it was nine episodes. And I wanted to tell you that this is a damn brilliant show. I hadn't watched seriously for about 6 or 7 months, yet today watching Sleeping in Light I loved all those characters like old friends. I was full on sobbing for most of the last 15 or 20 minutes, particularly the scenes that focused on light and you know what I mean (keeping very aware of spoilers for others, I am, even though this post is old). The point is I can't remember the last time I cried that hard, particularly not due to a work of fiction. That was possibly the most I have ever cried at a work of fiction. It was so beautiful. Part of the reason I'm telling you this is that you are, sadly, the only person I know of who will understand. I only know one other person who watches B5 and she has not seen the fifth season yet. I'm definitely writing a blog tomorrow about it, though. I've tried to get others to watch in the past, but I will succeed now. I can tell them with full knowledge and conviction that this story needs to be experienced. I would like to link your post about it, if that is all right with you.
Anyway, that was another long ramble from me. It's late and I'm emotionally drained, so it probably wasn't coherent, but I wanted to tell you that I finished the series. I'm not sure if you should be flattered or creeped out. :)
