But before we get into the details of that, there is a SURPRISE.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The lovely rukbat3, who joined the Mark Does Stuff moderation team at the start of\u00c2\u00a0<em>Babylon 5<\/em>, emailed me an idea that was too good to pass up. Thus, there&#8217;s a special attached to this post: <a href=\"https:\/\/markdoesstuff.com\/products\/mark-watches-babylon-5-the-movies\">I have re-watched\u00c2\u00a0<em>The Gathering<\/em><\/a>, the film that started this all. (Both the series AND my introduction to it.) You&#8217;ll find it at <a href=\"https:\/\/markdoesstuff.com\/products\/mark-watches-babylon-5-the-movies\">the bottom of the drop-down menu, labeled as Rewatch: The Gathering<\/a>, so as not to confuse it with the first-time viewing. It was such a delight to visit the pilot film, to see the things that the show changed, as well as experience the mystery WHILE KNOWING THE ACTUAL ANSWER TO IT.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you, rukbat3, for making this happen.<\/p>\n<p>So! Q&amp;As are fun for me because, as mentioned before, I love to think about a show as a whole, rather than the individual episodes themselves. Feel free to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>ask about general thoughts on <em>Babylon 5<\/em><\/li>\n<li>ask about favorites and least favorites<\/li>\n<li>ask about character arcs<\/li>\n<li>ask questions that have nothing to do with the show!<\/li>\n<li>SHARE WITH ME ALL THE STUFF I MISSED OUT ON! Now is the chance to share: fanvids; fanfics; fanart; behind-the-scenes info; interviews; panel appearances; everything I missed and was a spoiler!!!! THERE ARE NO SPOILERS, GO WILD.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be responding to questions ALL WEEKEND, so don&#8217;t feel like you&#8217;ve missed out if you aren&#8217;t online during the day on Friday.
