God that has got to be one of the most cardboard, agonizing expository sequences in all genre television. HEMLINES. Gahhh.
I hope the nuke landed directly on Justin's head.
And then that whole sequence is just so fucking amazing. I really do think the best word for Babylon 5 is UNEVEN (sort of like Farscape). When it's on, it's motherfucking on. When it isn't, you just stare at the TV going "....did noone dare say how bad this is?"
It might be the hazy glow of nostalgia, but I feel like Farscape was pretty consistently great after the first season.
I wonder what it would've looked like if the show had had more security, like the BSG reboot.
This goes for most shows. I admire the Breaking Bad season finale, which would have worked splendidly as a series finale if the show got cancelled, but leaves enough material that I'm sure they'll be able to fill one more season. But that's a rare exception, and obviously not a thing that happens in genre often.
