After a few decades in the link, he travels to an alternate dimension and assumes the role that he is most comfort with and assumes the name of Michael Garibaldi
Happy new year, everyone!
I know I've posted a lot about Michael's character of Jeffrey Sinclair but its' because I feel his character resonated with me. Sinclair was my favourite character and I often think about him and unseen moments such as what he experienced during Points of Departure from his point of view, how he met Garibaldi on Mars, how he met Catherine Sakhai, his interactions with Dr. Kyle etc...
I plan on doing fan art of these things.
We know so little about Michael so anytime I find new photos its' exciting finding something I haven't seen before.
Probably similar to how people reacted when they found lost, never before seen Doctor Who 1960's episodes thought long lost, or hear rare old John Lennon demos and for a moment, for a few moments its' like they're all alive again... does this make any sense?
Even though he's passed I wish we had more to remember him by than just the recent Mental Health piece of the puzzle...
Disclaimer: I don't own these pictures. I guess they are copyrighted of the photographer(s)...

... keep reading on reddit β‘J. Michael Straczynski addressed the news about 'Babylon 5':
> To answer all the questions, yes, itβs true, Babylon 5 is now in active development as a series for the CW. We have some serious fans over at the network, and theyβre eager to see this show happen. Iβm hip deep into writing the pilot now, and will be running the series upon pickup. The network understands the uniqueness of Babylon 5 and is giving me a great deal of latitude with the storytelling.
> As noted in the announcement, this is a reboot from the ground up rather than a continuation, for several reasons. Heraclitus wrote, βYou cannot step in the same river twice, for the river has changed, and you have changed.β In the years since B5, Iβve done a ton of other TV shows and movies, adding an equal number of tools to my toolbox, all of which I can bring to bear on the question: if I were creating Babylon 5 today, for the first time, knowing what I now know as a writer, what would it look like? How would it use all the storytelling tools and technological resources available in 2021 that were not on hand then? How can it be used to reflect the world in which we live, and the questions we are asking and confronting every day? Fans regularly point out how prescient the show was and is of our current world; it would be fun to take a shot at looking further down the road.
> So we will not be retelling the same story in the same way because of what Heraclitus said about the river. There would be no fun and no surprises. Better to go the way of Westworld or Battlestar Galactica where you take the original elements that are evergreens and put them in a blender with a ton of new, challenging ideas, to create something both fresh and familiar.
> To those who have asked why weβre not just doing a continuationβ¦for a network series like this, it canβt be done because over half our cast are still stubbornly on the other side of the Rim. How do you telling continuing story of our original Londo without the original Vir? Or GβKar? How do you tell Sheridanβs story without Delenn? Or the story of B5 without Franklin? Garibaldi? Zack?
> The original Babylon 5 was ridiculously innovative: the first to use CGI to create ships and characters, and among the very first to shoot widescreen with a vigorous 5.1 mix. Most of all, for the first time, Babylon 5 introduced viewers accustomed to episodic television to the concept of a five-year arc with a pre-planned beginning, mi

It's been seen a bit here and there but I don't think it's been on Twitter. Jerry Doyle wanted to do a "guys' night out" photo so that's what we did. (Andreas wasn't in town.) https://t.co/8qtbYYlvRM https://twitter.com/straczynski/status/1448075436924276741?s=20
TLDR: Its' much better than you thought ...just not perfect in all areas.

Season 1 SPOILER WARNING- below.
Season 1: Better than expected!
First off, I want to say that I loved this season! I didn't get to watch the Gathering yet, but I have seen clips on youtube, as well as clips of the later seasons of the show. Needless to say it intrigued my interest so I took a chance in trying something different.
I also want to say that I love the Babylon 5 community Iβve found. I find everyone kind, passionate, and intellectual!
**I have burning some questions which I will list below. I request that the answers please be SPOILER FREE going forwards as I want to experience the rest show this way. (I have looked up some spoilers as is a bad habit these days, but I regretted this so I removed them from my mind...)**
I had been dissatisfied with the current state of the Star Wars and Star Trek Franchises for a long time. They've been turned from intellectual thinking pieces/ epic plots into the hollywood factory conveyor belt of printing money... Now its' not about putting out a memorable installment but just 'another movie'. Essentially, quantity over quality.
I found out about the show through the excellent video by Rowan J. Coleman. Initially I was hesistant to trying the show for⦠silly reasons. I didn't like that the show had a number in its' name! I had seen Londo and the Centauri's hair and was hesistant to try the show hahaha.
... keep reading on reddit β‘I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
