Okay, it's been a while, but would I not remember this???
I got the impression it was a season-long plot development, so...maybe you blocked it because it was painful? It sounds painful. Poor Garibaldi.
OMG!! Okay, STOP GOOGLING NOW.
Yeeeah, I decided to stop after that one. I was only trying to check something for my list of LOTR correspondances, and it was in the same paragraph!
Otherwise...you have only yourself to blame.
I'm actually not sure what else big there is that I'm missing. In very rough order, I know that B5 breaks away from a very corrupt Earth, Garibaldi is taken over by Bester (but it ends well?), Marcus dies for Ivanova via the healing device and she gets her own starship, and there are inevitable space battles with the Shadows. Sheridan goes to Z'ha'dum to die and returns as a godlike figure, becomes president of the Interstellar Alliance (not totally sure what that is), marries Delenn, has a son with her, grows a really ugly beard, and is fated to die in twenty years, at which time someone named Lorien will let him into the Undying Lands whatever lies beyond the rim. That Sinclair is Valen (and thus that he went back in time many thousands of years on B4) plays into the war somehow, but I don't know how. Lyta shows up at some point, and there's a telepath war, although I don't know the players in that one. I'm pretty sure there's more of a connection between Shadows and Vorlons than just that they're both First Ones, and I think it ties into this Lorien guy, but I don't know how.
I think that's it. But yeah, I've got the broad strokes. I've had most of them for a while, just because I remember watching it when it was first airing, and maintaining sort of a cursory knowledge of it via fandom in general as it ended.
You're not a bad person. It's something of a wonder to me that she gets acting gigs.
Oh, thank goodness.
I have to confess that I honestly wish you'd waited until May to start your journey through the series, because I would have loved to be watching all these with you. And I won't have time until then, and by now, you're not gonna wanna slow down. :(
Ah, that would've been nice, yes. In May, I'll probably be in the middle of S4, although papers and such may mean I'm still in S3. Depends on how crazy April gets. At least we could watch the last good season together? (You are so correct that I think if I slowed down now, at least more than Netflix is forcing me to, I would probably explode. :D)
