Random thought

I was just listening to the song after watching an episode of B5, and a thought came to me. After the end of S4, were there 1.9 million Ivanova/Marcus songfics to "Running Up That Hill"? *g*

I'm into S2 now! Hurrah. Bruce Boxleitner is a big improvement over Michael O'Hare, although I liked Sinclair as a character. So were the S2 credits shown the first time this aired? Because that would totally have blown the surprise of Delenn's appearance after she leaves her cocoon, which I assume happens in the next episode.

By the way, Hulu has the pilot movie, "The Gathering," placed in between S1 and S2. Should I watch it, or is it needless filler?

I saw the Gathering when it first aired long and long ago (Hubby, who's a bigger B5 fan, has never seen it, so go figure). It does have plot-y stuff, and wouldn't hurt to watch it (I'd recommend it, just for the sake of completeness) and I can't figure why they would put it *between* seasons 1 & 2 instead of at the very beginning where it **goes**. ::confused face::

I'm leaning towards watching it once I've exhausted all the episodes. It doesn't sound too vital.

Maybe they put it where it is because if it's the first thing a new viewer saw, they'd never watch the show? ;)

I thought it was cool and good set-up, but you never know, I suppose. At this point, it doesn't so much matter where you watch it, because they'll flashback the important Lyta bits when you get there.
