    If Star Trek ever does a Romulan War movie and they want it to hit hard, the first thing they should do is watch Babylon 5: In the Beginning and take lots of notes.

    If you’ve never seen the movie Babylon, it opens with an elephant shitting all over the protagonist as he’s trying to break into movies. This is to demonstrate that in order to be in the industry, you have to be okay with getting metaphorical shit all over you. Anyway it’s a good watch.

    For the life of me, I will never understand why "Babylon" (2022, dir. Damien Chazelle) bombed at the box office and with critics. It's so good. Maybe I'm easily amused, but god, what a great film.

    It really is starting to feel like we’re in the run up to what, in a sci-fi movie, they’d call “the great burn” isn’t it? Actually I’m just thinking of the pot to Canticle for Leibowitz / Babylon 5’s Deconstruction of Falling Stars. Point remains though.

    Anyway, on day 1 of this Paramount-WBD merger they’ll be $90 billion in debt so they’ll have to shut down TV stations and movie studios etc. “Who needs Cartoon Network to exist if we already own Nickelodeon,” “pull the plug on new Babylon 5 & delist the old one; we already got Star Trek” type stuff.

    I’m pretty sure the last big-budget auteur-driven film made under Paramount (that’s comparable to the recent WB auteur films under Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy like OBAA and Digger) was the 2022 Damien Chazelle film “Babylon”. I can’t imagine this existing under David Ellison.

    The Babylon 5 series is such a masterpiece. I watched it several times before finding out more of something said in the first season that's referred and having an impact later. There's still holes and threads that are not going anywhere, but the overall is very coherent and well pieced together. Even the unpredicted events about production have been worked around. I thoroughly enjoy watching reactions of people watching the show for the first time. The faces they make when they realize…
