That must be such an odd experience to be discussing it in the depth that we have been!
I have been and am still immensely enjoying it! And it feels sort of intellectually useful for me in that I have a traditional block on writing about movies that I saw before I learned how to think about them and Babylon 5 is from that same period, so being able to discuss it even informally should be a kind of practice on that front.
I can still describe individual episodes of, say, Quantum Leap, which I saw at a younger age, but with this show, it was just scattered recollections and a general sense that I'd liked it enough that I wanted to finish someday. Strange how the brain works like that!
Understood! I am sure I have mentioned the random handful of Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes that burned themselves into my child-brain when any number of other media persisted only vaguely if at all. (Mind if I risk changing the subject entirely by asking which episodes of Quantum Leap really stuck with you?)
Anyway, I've really been having a fantastic time talking about it with you, so I'm really happy that you remember it well enough to discuss it in this much detail.
In fairness, I did rewatch a chunk of it in the mid-2000's after it had come out on DVD!
