When I watched this in 1997 here in the UK used to record every episode on VHS, I remember noticing the lone Centauri ship. Almost like it was a token gesture

Also a Vree saucer. No Brakiri or Drazi, though.

@@danielqmul agreed totally a token gesture. I'm sure Londo even had to promise his sixth wife's daughters hand in marriage to the ship captain to even make that happen.

@@WUZLE Nah, there was an Avioki in the background @0:40 edit: saw another one further back. No Sunhawks visible, tho, you're right about that.

@@WUZLE @0.44 a Brakiri cruiser can be seen.

This right here. I was also a fan of Star Trek, but the emotional content of Babylon 5 space battles can't be compared.

Yeah Seymour was in a few episodes of Trek.

I like the German for tank, Panzerkampfwagen, far better imo.

lol no problem! I'm glad I can help. I'm happy to see how dear this show was to so many of us... worldwide! Love it, can't wait for the reboot

Wait what? He literally says Rammgeschwindigkeit in German! xD

I cut out her shocked reaction, never felt right in that sequence

@@nuzzyfutzz It was the right decision

my favorite part of this entire show is even when human ships had no right to still be alive from the amount of damage they took they kept on fighting, even during the war I mean it didn't help but they did, it really personifies "Take a Licking and Keep on Ticking"

@@David-jt9nt Kind of reminds me of the absolute pounding the USS South Dakota suffered during the Guadalcanal campaign. Sure, none of the hits were mortal, but she was certainly swiss cheese after the fact. Much like the Agamemnon here.

If you liked that scene then you would also probably like the scene in the 1979 movie "Meteor"; United States and Russia Combine (Top secret Orbital) nuclear arsenals for a joint attack: Here is a link to the movie fast forwarded to the US missile launch: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r7JypcZ_1ODYqaM.html I know it's an old movie, but still an awesome missile scene, for a newer movie missile scene I would highly recommend: "The Expanse"

did you say a plethora?...

@@nuzzyfutzz yep first contact nemesis. Well that was two. I bet there's more. Maybe not a plethora.

@@timshen6516 Ramming speed sounds a bit better than, "You heard me; a collision course!"

@@timshen6516 I'm just stoked anytime I see the word plethora used in the wild :D. Cheers!

Worf's Ramming Speed in First Contact (1996) came before this!

Lowest bidder, even after the Battle of the Line 😂

Yeah... how to they have a particle weapon that destructive? And why? That's like using the full deathstar beam to swat ships. It will work, but a lower setting will easily get the job done at a much faster firing rate and even the entire Vorlon fleet won't risk crossing swords with that.

Decades ago I decided that there is a reason why various sci fi star ships almost never use nuclear weapons. It is because the technology clearly exists to accelerate normal missiles / other objects to extreme speeds and there is some sort of shielding capacity that allows space travel without being killed by high energy rays. These must exist or 1) they would never get anywhere and 2) everyone would get cancer by the end of the first season. This means that the destructive power "add" from a nuclear warhead is not particularly useful compared to just making the missile faster. I made this up and as far as I know, no show explicitly states this concept. But it is physically sound so that's how I ignore this apparent plot oversight.

No, they will look like flowers and captains gonna be black disabled whining trans-women.

B5 as LotR trilogy needs no rebbot

He keep mostly Minbari ships. Too many people remember battle of the line. He try to keep it as human problem, but not enough firepower make him to cal reinforcements

woke galore

@@martinm.1967 and the original wasn't woke?

@@TheBishopconrad Nope

@@martinm.1967 LGBT relationship. An insurrection against a conservative fascist president....what constitutes woke for you? Can't wait to hear this.

​@@TheBishopconrad It was hinted at... very subtle "messaging". We had conservative security chief Michael Garibaldi. Sinclair and Sheridan who both were tough white military guys, very cliched. People of color were not per se perfect heroes and the ultimate good guys. We didn't have that much PoC crying and drama, unlike STD. It wasn't "in your face" messaging and it wasn't all about black people and them becoming saints.

These clips are from a remastered source.

🤣

At this point, Earth Force tracking and targeting systems can see through their stealth.

@@Whitestar901 Using the HELtrack (Hyperspace Echo Location) system if I remember correctly.

@@Whitestar901 And don't forget that the defense platforms were filling the air with lots of missiles.

Take out the eastern seaboard of North America. Just who did they plan to fight using this gun? God?

I always thought it was an earth destroyer

@@nuzzyfutzz Looks like cause it seems to be taking missiles from the platform..but i can tell if its an Omega, a Nova or an Hyperion..it also goes off too much to be a heavy ship

Probably Clark sent them all away so he had a better chance to get his "Scorched Earth" plan done. A typical dictator move

I know it's late but Clark circled Scorched Earth in a page of the same line written again and again, I forget the exact line but it was spoken by Cartagia (the Centauri Emperor) when he was talking about the destruction of Centauri Prime, when the whole planet is destroyed he will be raised up as a god. I suspect Clark believes something similar about him and Humanity, the Shadows have influenced both groups

Some people would rather lose badly destroying everything rather than surrender when they know they ar ebeaten.

Because Clark was a sore loser and wanted to give a final "Screw you" to Sheridan for defeating him and foiling his plans to turn Humanity into a genocidal superpower like the Dilgar, to make Sheridan's victory as bitter as any defeat basically.

This is a remaster. I also uploaded a clip for a call to arms unfortunately it doesn't look like that movie is getting a remaster. So best source is still DVD kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ndp_ha1mvsvFgXk.html

A lot of the "impact" was lost due to my editing I think. I cut in minimum info to just get us to the sweet sweet space battles.

Don't count him out yet. He could still regain the presidency. Don't think Trump does not have any power over the GOP, his influence continues to hold gout.

@Tom Karais I don't want that power hungry madman anywhere NEAR the white house. Trump has caused enough problems...

Get your political bullshit out of my sci fi. We go here to get away from the garbage, and the people who cannot help but be roped in by it. If you are seeing Trump everywhere you look, that's your problem. I just want to watch spaceships shoot things

@Tom Karais All good, my dude. In this day and age it is HARD to let go. So much vitriol and hatred and just... viciousness. B-5 is a place to just take a break, get your head away from all that hsit, and get your breath. Never let political riggamarole rule you, never let it drive you. Passion drives, anger hobbles. And I admit, I was a bit angry in my post, but all this shit do got me grumpy. Let's enjoy Sheridan yell ramming speed again, as it was meant to be

@Tom Karais so he didn't win then. Thanks for getting that straight.

You say that when most of those you listed have dumb things happen as well

Please don't be too harsh on this episode because of this clip. I had to pare down most of the emotional/situational buildup that led to this confrontation. If you can watch the whole episode
