SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Eh. I liked it, but didn't love it. JMS spent his one great idea and made a TV series, warts and faults and all, that was something special. After B5, his stuff hasn't been nearly as inspired. The Road Home is a fun love letter to the B5 fans, but if you aren't a fan, you probably won't get much out of it.
I did like the "Fire this baby up!" joke, and the droid gun turrets on Epsilon 3. Those amused me.
Turning the Shadows into generic swarmy bug alien monsters was terribly dissapointing.
If you didn't like the "Love is the strongest force in the universe" schtick, you'll hate the ending to The Road Home. Plus quantum gobeldeygook nonsense.

So the ending reeks of an attempt at a reboot. I'm not sure I really care. I love the original series, but I've seen enough reboots for one lifetime.

The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.
