I kind of never understood the logic of them being the same and not having any kinship

Hello! After seeing your posts about B5, I want to see the whole series again. So I asked my parents to give me back my old DVDs, but I have a problem. I want to show the series to my boyfriend. On the DVD, there isn't the episode pilot The Gathering and I can't find on the internet subtitles that are well syncronised (we're non-native english speaker so we need them). Do you think we can skip The Gathering ? I'm pretty sure I never saw it, and it went well but in the same time, it was a long time ago, and I'm kind of afraid that my bf can be rebuffed by the whole esthetic of the show… Don't know what to do! Thanks :D

you can definitely skip it!! honestly i recommend it.

i think your boyfriend will have a better time as a first-time viewer without it. the gathering is a true pilot meant to sell the show to a network, not really the first episode of the series, which starts chronologically a year later.

half of the characters have been replaced, and they re-introduce the ones who are in the series itself. they do a good job of quickly telling you anything you need to know when you need to know it… and there’s only two things that i think are even Need To Know in the first place for continuity:

a) a weird looking minbari dude once told sinclair “there is a hole in your mind” and delenn was kind of weird about it, and b) lyta alexander is Like That because she scanned a vorlon. you get a flashback shot or an explanation for both things, and you don’t even meet lyta again until the end of season two.

my honest truth 🤫 is that i think of all the tv movies are bonus features and are weaker than the show itself. my recent obsession with the gathering is because i’m scraping the barrel for content about my man sinclair.

there’s some nice character stuff in there, especially for sinclair and londo/the centauri (and garibaldi to a lesser extent), but all of it comes back around in season one anyway.

that said!! if anyone has access to a version of the gathering with a synced subtitle track and want to help OP out, please do! (what language are you looking for?)

edit: french preferred, english in a pinch!

i finally started my tintin stats project, where i go thru each book from soviets to picaros and tally up certain things with the occasional note. im mostly doing it for fanfic, cosplay and headcanon reasons, and was just going to do it and then post my findings book by book but then i thought well. it's kind of a resource, and people might have specific things they want to know.

so far my categories are:

vehicles - what vehicles he travels in, which ones he drives, any crashes

health - when he sleeps, if he snores, if he dreams, if he has nightmares; any injuries and what kinds; any time he loses consciousness and the cause; when he eats and what he eats, what he enjoys eating and what he doesn't; any time he gets drunk

any time he is violent to another person

physical activity - any time he swims, climbs a tree, rides a horse

the law - any time he is arrested (including attempted arrests), imprisoned, sentenced to death, or joins an army

emotions - when he cries and about what; when he laughs and about what; when he gets angry, at whom and why; when he is visibly afraid and of what; when he prays; when he sings or dances

le petit vingtieme - any time he actually writes an article lol

QUIFF DOWN!!! - any time his quiff is down lol. this is kind of a joke one bc this only happens generally if he's soaking wet but also i think its funny any time it happens so its getting tallied

at a later point i'm also going to chart the passage of time across each adventure so i can have a rought idea of how long each story lasts. in a similar vein, i'm also going to chart what clothes he wears and whether he still owns them at the end of the album (sounds weird lol but he goes thru SO many different outfits in soviets just bc people keep blowing him up and wrecking his clothes lmao. and at the end of congo he returns to belgium with only a rifle and the clothes he's wearing). i might later add things like, any time certain characters appear, but im still early on and he doesnt know anyone yet lol

essentially, i just finished doing this for congo, so before i get any further are there any other things people would like to see tallied/noted? i am doing this so u dont have to (:
