Babylon 5: Grail

This forum is for discussing Chuck's videos as they are publicly released. And for bashing Neelix, but that's just repeating what I already said.

Babylon 5: Grail

Post by G-Man »

This episode gets a stamp of "truly, truly outrageous."

I don't get it. I presume you are refering to Jem and the Holograms, but how does that relate to what happens at 2:24 in the review?

This episode was shit overall, but I have to admit that that abduction trial was a pretty good gag.

Season 1 is an unfortunate trudge, but it's building it's world from the ground up, characters, backstory, mysteries and all. B5 does feature a lot of questing in it's stories, and the Camelot mythology is a major influence. Grail is an obvious example, but third-season episode A Late Delivery from Avalon is similar in themes at least, and as I remember, pulled off a far better story.

I can't be the only one who has those two episodes confused, can I?

What do the post-opening credits say in the video at 2:24? Do a search on that name.

That's a randomly far-fetched reference then.

Yeah, how dare people not have the names of all the writers for children's cartoons memorized?

Late Delivery Marcus is exposition guy. Grail Guest star is exposition guy. That is how to tell the difference. Sure they are both Arthur Pendragon and the Matter of Britain. But...

When Sheridan got White Star 1, that was Excaliburn. The whole of Babylon 5 is Matter of Britain. Vorlons = Druids; Shadows = Saxons.

Less far-fetched is that the moment I see her name, it doesn't surprise me that this is about a search for the Grail, as that same author wrote a Sierra adventure game specifically on this topic just a few years earlier.
