Babylon 5 Season 4
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
This is a review of episode 22: The Deconstruction of Falling Stars.
This episode is terrible. Do you want to hear a bunch of news commentators jabber back and forth on an newscast about the importance of the sci-fi show that you’re watching–the award-winning sci-fi show that seems to be fizzling out before your eyes? Wondering how in the world it could be burning out in this way? I mean, it was great in the middle of the 4th season. But then…what happened? It just wasn’t that great all of a sudden. Is this final episode REALLY the climax?!?
If you don’t like watching news commentators banter against one another, perhaps you’d enjoy watching three boring college professors who know nothing about anything talk about the social significance of the history of Babylon 5? No? Sound boring? Yes, I thought so.
Okay. How about you watch some dictatorship puppet argue against Babylon 5 holographic representations about how justified that dictatorship is? Sound weird and boring? Okay.
How about watching some clergy wringing their hands in a rectory a thousand years from the exciting events of the show you started to love? No?
So…you sound like you hate the idea of watching a show about people talking about your show. If that’s the case, then you can bet that episode 22 will suck big time for you. How could this final episode of season 4 be so FUBAR?
Episode 22 is awful. Avoid spending the $2 for the instant video. If you have the CD collection, you can afford to skip it. I assure you, it’s not worth your time to watch. I started off watching this thing, then got distracted by wikipedia. An hour and a half later, I saw that I was halfway through the video, and so I skipped around until I reached the end. Boring.
