Babylon 5 (1993–1998)
10/10
heroic fantasy in space
1 May 2022
Babylon 5 is a forgotten series, it's about me, a work equal to the writings of Lovecraft, to the Lord of the Rings. We are beyond the canons of star trek and other star wars. As much as season 1 is slow, but necessary to explain the ins and outs of this universe.

Once the stakes are raised, the series really begins in season 2. I mentioned a literary work, because yes Babylon 5 is a literary work in its own right, because of its thematic richness.

Over the seasons, we get attached to the characters, which I don't manage to do in the Star Trek series. One of the series' climaxes being "zha a dum", which is the saga's "helm's abyss", finale only to be joined by the Angel and Buffy endings.

As bizarre as it is, this saga has two ends precisely: that of season 4 which shows the consequences, season 5, post deliverances from Mars and Earth, tell us about the future of the characters

It's a series to see, which has lost none of its relevance.

Post Dallas

What about Chateauvallon? I owe myself to some restraint, since the cast has more or less disappeared over time. This series was intended as a response to Dallas, then a reference in the genre. But there is still some inconsistency: How can a provincial newspaper like "la dépêche" become a newspaper of opinion? The double historical periodicity: the action takes place at the end of the Giscardien seven-year period, but uses cars whose vintage starts from the beginning of the 1980s. The Kovalic mentality isn't even medieval anymore at this level.

The role of Florence Berg: lawyer/entrepreneur would have been consistent ten years later: cf Dana Scully in XFiles, cf Ivanova in Babylon 5. But with the French mentality of the time, the beginnings of the idea, but abandoned along the way. It's a badly born, badly budgeted series, one season two; if it had been turned, would have served it.

In 2022 remains a testimony of France from the 1970s/1980s.
