The second part of the Lost Tales really has more going for it. There’s a lot that Sheridan brings to this just by himself, but working with Lochley and Galen in particular, it almost feels like home. I like Galen in the Benevolent Trickster God role here, he doesn’t leave you much time to think things through while at the same time bombarding you with imagery that makes sure it’s the ONLY thing you’ll think about. 

Teryl Rothery bounces nicely off Boxleitner as well in a secondary role as the doomed reporter. I’m neither warm or cold to the Centauri Prince, there’s something late aughts douchey casting about it with just a hint of wide eyed optimism that works for and against him. So I guess he was cast perfectly. 

The soundtrack pops and has some callbacks to the old series while sounding new. Only a scene or two is actually spent on Babylon 5 here and so the prevalent emptiness is less felt here. 

I wish we could have had Delenn even on comms (but 2007 - Rousseau is busy on Lost and in Hawaii) but again Galen chose his timing well, Sheridan is isolated and alone for the first time in years and there’s no one to bounce off the crisis of killing someone in cold blood and making it look like an accident.  

Finally, seeing the station exteriors and Starfuries modeled with 2007-era cgi, oh it’s beautiful.

The Lost Tales isn’t the perfect ending, but it is an ending, of sorts.There’s some melancholia involved in it, times past by.
