Are all time portals gone? Or not...

Hm, not sure why they are playing it like that. But we all know that there is this "morpheus"-like guardian who keeps that ultimate time portal from being used (let alone destroyed) by anyone. And we all know that Samurai Jack has been prophesized to be the only one to use it. Well, I guess we'll have to wait and see, lol..
Success!

They have done it. These MAD MEN have achieved the impossible. To create something that truly rivals if not surpasses the standard set in the previous 4 seasons. If they can keep up this pace and artistry for the rest of the season then the story arc of Samurai Jack will find a conclusion so satisfying we will be telling our kids stories about it.
A Star Wars void of character and depth is merely a giant ad for toys.

This movie has about as many (or more) plot holes and inconsistencies as some of the worst B-movies of the Eighties. Nothing makes sense, nothing feels designed to have some meaning or to build drama, instead everything that happens is like a loose succession of trivialities:
Protagonists stumble upon each other as if the whole galaxy was small like a village.
Protagonists don't seem to be able to express any real human emotions, apart from violent outbursts like 8 year olds, or shallow friendships. Nothing feels real. Protagonists turn into friends or enemies without real character development. It's like when you watch 8 year olds narrate stories while they play with their SW toys. Movie plot has the exact same emotional depth as 8 year olds playing with toys, I am not kidding.
Don't expect to hear a new compelling music score, you won't find any. Also don't expect to see new creatures or planets that stimulate your imagination, creature design is just a rehash of what we are used to, NOTHING new is explored, no new planets or sceneries. (you just get the obligatory desert and ice planet, etc... I thought we had a whole galaxy to explore???
Can you believe how shallow the character design is? Apparently there exists an Asian looking gang in this universe whose name is KanjiKlub-Gang. You can't make this stuff up. It's EXACTLY what an 8 year old would choose as name.
Also there is a childish understanding of astronomy, like in one scene having multiple planets just a few thousand miles apart from each other. (the old trilogy had much more scientific accuracy, at least they didn't make such glaring mistakes)
This movie feels like a giant jedi mind trick. It's a TRAP!

Babylon 5
(1993–1998)
I re-watch whole series every few years, that's how good it is!

I am a big science fiction fan. I have watched thousands of sci-fi movies and seen 100s of sci-fi series. I have enjoyed the Star Trek franchise (not so much since the J J Abrams reboot) and also a little bit of Star Wars when I was a child (but only the original trilogy). I think that Terminator 2 is THE best cinema movie ever made.
But nothing compares with Babylon 5 and how it keeps stunning me to this day. Since the 90s when I first saw it on TV I keep the Babylon 5 universe close to my heart. The characters, the drama and tragedy, but also the humor and development remains completely competition-free to this day. I know nothing that compares with Babylon 5. (maybe Perry Rhodan can compare when it comes to Depth of Universe development)
So what I keep doing every 5 years or so is binge-watch the whole series (Babylon 5 series, the movies and then crusade) until I am satisfied. Then I hope that over the next 5 years I forget enough of the details so that I can re-watch it again like it was fresh (forgetting something has never been such a blessing, LOL)
I have done so for 4 times already over the past 20 years, and always have I been in a different period of my life, with different problems, tasks and struggles, and Babylon 5 always manages to put my own struggle in perspective when I can re-experience the struggle between chaos & order, authority & freedom, control & risk, as it is shown so masterful in this series.
