    They're better on the stereotypes, but there is indeed a genie, and quite a bit of racecars, lasers, and aeroplanes.

    I'm more amused by the fact that the name change was announced a month ago with much fanfare and deliberation and this is what they came up with. Wow, much impressive.

    You want butthurt, I'm still a little upset that the Ducktales reboot wasn't brought past Season 3 and the Darkwing Duck it set up went nowhere. Jim Cummings voicing the former actor who became Negaduck was inspired.

    But I'm willing to see this project out, even if Launchpad does the laugh.

    Demo: https://youtu.be/rFzY71WktpE There are probably better ways to play Steam games on an Android device, but this is pretty neat that an Android proot is this capable now.

    https://youtu.be/_KnTpxPgroM We do have an interview with JMS and Bruce Boxleitner on the channel now. (Technically not Season 1 related for reasons, but forgive me.)

    Seeing J Michael Strazinsky on the channel made me hope he'd do commentary on the episodes, but I guess not.

    Since the Babylon 5 channel seems to be still posting 3 episodes a week, I'm thinking I'm going to match the pace for the individual threads, but if we want to move for weekly threads or Season threads, I'm open to suggestions.

    -How are they allowed to post full episodes anyway? Is the channel run by Warners?

    Yes, that is a Warner Brothers channel and they're clear to post episodes available for the US region. There may be some special features or interviews in-between seasons or however it's broken out, and it's a new channel so I'm not sure if they're going to continue three a week.

    The official Babylon 5 channel has completed the entirety of Season 1, and I figured it was a good time for us to check in. How are we doing, do we still want individual threads for each episode?...

    I got into Expeditionary Force, which is my kinda trash. It's military fiction, but also Sci Fi space opera that bounces between the AI being the light novel cheat ability that doesn't get everyone killed, the human protagonist jerking off to competency porn by suggesting the obvious thing the AI overlooked because it's so stupid it just might work, and the two of them vamping and riffing off each other so hard that I hate that I like it this much. Worst part is that I'm running out of the books at my library, the rest of them are Audible exclusive which means I have to start paying to continue, and there are 20 installments so it's a giant time commitment that I know is just going to break down into "they got into trouble then did the thing to get out of it" formula by the time I get to the end. Sad thing is that it might already have, why do I enjoy this?

    This seems to be mostly in developing markets, so I don't think they can support that large a price bump.

    The initiative does not include the U.S., Canada, Australia, nor is it offered in the UK and other European markets...
