By now, you might have heard that The Marvels is underperforming at the box office and wondering if it’s just not worth seeing.

I was there, when Babylon 5 first came to streaming. I was there, when Babylon 5 was remastered. I was there for all five seasons of the station that wraps humans and aliens in two million, five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal . . . all alone in the night.
