B5 really set a new standard when it came to this episode. Future shows like Battlestar Galactica, The Expanse and other more mature sci-fi shows can thank B5 for pushing that envelope.

Okay... Data's memory bank failed.

WHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In Star trek online the Alexander would be a heavy Flight deck carrier Like the Friendship class from the 32ns century

Max was the real villain, masterminded the hole earth civil war just to get rid of that one guy

It’s the drawback to a civil war, you can’t hold back just because you know the people on the other side. Especially if they aren’t holding back against you.

Ireland had one job.

Fission mailed.

well damn

i can tell the smoothness of 4k but 4khd the overall picture/video needs work

why not just cripple them? its very low tech.

In just a few minutes, they establish just how miserable the situation is for everyone involved. The following atrocity in the episode leaves no doubt as to why people seceded and why they couldn't back down. So when the big battle happens, you know that almost no one wants this to happen. This level of writing is becoming more and more rare.

I'm sure this is how many men felt during the U.S. Civil War. I read a few true stories about a younger brother who was on the side of the North and his older brother was on the side of the South. They were in the same battle against each other. After the battle the older brother, who was a Confederate Sgt. was killed. His younger brother, who was a Capt. In the Union Army, he asked if he could bury his brother and sent a letter to their mother with a lock of his brothers hair in it. Another story was of a Father and Son. The son was in the Confederate Army and had been going to VMI. joined the Confederacy because he believed it was about states' rights. He was made a Lt. He was from Pennsylvania. His father, who joined the Union Army and was an engineer, who had been in the Union Army before he was made a Colonel in the U.S. Army corps of Engineers. Learned after a battle his son was killed in a battle his father helped plan. I couldn't imagine how these men and the rest felt knowing someone they loved was on the other side.

Tick tock Ireland. I really don't want the universe we're in to be the terran empire universe. It all hinges on you.

Ahh, has this ever become a salient point again. I wish it hadn't. TNG is the best TV series ever aired.

What is with Data using contractions? "I'm, I've..." are we sure this isn't Lore?

So, we finally know D-Day's whereabouts. Everything about this series is remarkable from scripting to casting.

This wasn't banned in Canada idk what the fuck the titles about Just to trigger whomever runs the channel, who has hilarious anger issues

THIS ISNT BANNED IN THE UNITED STATES AND I AM VERY SMART!!!! YEAHHHHHH!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

C'mon Ireland don't let us down. You've got just over 18 days left.

Who wants to take bets on the writer's nationality?

I genuinely have no idea what Clarkstown hoped to accomplish here asside from getting splashed. It makes me wonder if that captain whom Major Ryan spoke so highly of was still in command, or if Clarke fanatics had taken control.

Good lord - why the 60fps? It makes everything look like ass :( You've made Babylon 5 look like it was made by a high school drama class

Everyone assumed Northern Ireland seceded from the United Kingdom to reunite with Ireland HOWEVER it could've just as easily been the United Kingdom invading and annexing Ireland instead.

If you pause at 0:17 you can clearly see that the two crewmembers behind the captain are sitting on office chairs with roller wheels. Just imagine if they lost rotation and went zero-g; these things would be floating all over the place on the bridge.

Funny, fighters couldn’t go through a ship made jump point here, but at end of episode, many Clark force fighters do that when the Minbari arrive.

Go on home British soldiers go on home

You hear that!? 3 more months to get your shit together Ireland!

Hard to believe this guy was D-Day.

Wow! Just listen to Data. If he said that in our current time Data would have been cancelled and the network stop this show.

An outclassed Hyperion chasing an Omega and not ducking out suggests Clark didn't tolerate failure from his subordinates. Follow orders and you may die or don't follow orders and definitely die.

Ireland, it's your time.

Fucking brutal, everybody trying to kill them is legit insane, and everybody fighting for freedom does all they can to NOT kill them. Almost seems like something going on today...

I love how I can listen to the dialogue with absolutely no visual and understand exactly what happened.

A single shot from the aft battery is all it took. Surely the Clarkston knew they were horribly outclassed, and had to be wondering how they were doing so well, and just how much longer they could be so fortunate... Usually when you see, say in WW2 (set aside submarine actions as a special case given the stealth involved), a single small ship going after something much bigger, or even a group of enemy ships, it's part of a much larger action where other ships would benefit from whatever the small ship is doing, be it delaying or distracting, and the sacrifice has value. This seems to be a straight-up one-on-one with nobody else nearby, this is a suicide run by the smaller ship for no tactical or strategic value. A senseless slaughter. No wonder the captain was so unhappy about allowing the shot to be taken. It's not only that the people on the Clarkston were people he knew, but also that their destruction served no larger purpose. Yes, I know the Clarkston managed a lucky shot that killed Hague, but they had no way of knowing they accomplished that. And the killing of Hague wasn't the original intention, that was just because Robert Foxworth bailed on them to go do a Star Trek shoot instead, so killing off his character was JMS's little petty revenge on him for going to the enemy, making sure Foxworth could never return to the show in that same role. Had Foxworth chosen B5 over ST, his character would have stayed a part of the story at least for a fair while longer.

The alexander commander was about to get everyone killed for being indecisive

So the writers / showrunners want me to believe that they only had the choice between destroying the ship or escaping? Nope! Not believable!

I've always wondered if the captain of the Clarkstown wondered why the Alexander wasn't using their aft batteries...

How good is the acting in this episode? Backed up with actually really good VFX.

August 2024. Belfast... send them packing!

B5 was epic, interesting, dealt with many existential and metaphysical issues and yet had a lot of fun moments. And seriously creepy moments like Bester casually spacing the unconscious normal human that he was supposed to return to Earth with. Nothing comes close, though Firefly deserves its own limelight, as well as the entire Founders War story arc in DS9 (which turned an okay startrek series into something far beyond that).

This looks so good! The indoor sets don't hold up that well, not against series like The Expanse, but the CGI in 4K holds up!

Erin Go Bragh!!!

That's a pretty impressive upscale, I only saw one or two little glitches and artifacts. Great job.

Oooooh gotta love how they don't like highly intelligent discussion of stuff like this.

The Claarkstown has no problem to shoot and destroy the Alexander

Irish reunification prophecy has been fulfilled 8/3/24.

Dear lord, they were so poor that the bridge crew does not even have matching office chairs!

Hyperions can still put up a bit of a fight against Omegas.

Please please please do this for the main battle in the later part of the episode!

4k? fine. 60fps? looks like crap. looks like a telenovela
