Display MoreThe Gathering isn't a great movie... or even a good one. But it's FULL of heart and in spite of its meandering, confused mystery plot you can see the bones that will be used to create a pretty distinct television show down the line. It's also extremely easy to see why Chris Roberts and the Wing Commander III team were so impressed: it has exactly the same kind of 'we can do it ourselves without the money!' attitude that was behind their project. Babylon 5 will never look as flawless and magical as Star Trek, but it does constantly remind you that there are people with heart doing a lot with very little to make it work.
Here's the biggest Wing Commander connection at this point in the show, the famous establishing shot of the Babylon 5 space station and how it compares to 'Babylon 6' in Wing Commander III!
None of the shared actors we mentioned in the announcement post appeared in The Gathering... but I did take some time to go through the BluRays and find them in later episodes!
Sully is Earth's last, best hope for purrs.
