    See, that was their problem. Their last best hope for peace was a truck stop? That is not where you get peace. That is where you get the opposite of peace. They could have only done worse if it were a space waffle house.

      To be fair, while “truck stop” is a fairly accurate term for DS9 and its location along a major trade route, the primary purpose of Babylon 5 was really just being a neutral location for political relations and whatnot. Though maybe there are important meetings that are conducted at Waffle House, idk

      Ds9 was a truck stop, the babylon stations were UN convention centres with bazaars did you even watch the show

        The Centauri: “You call this a convention center? I would not host my second cousin’s baby shower here; it stinks of commoners.”

        Recently did another marathon but this time in in-universe chronological order and goddamn, late delivery from Avalon hits so much harder (delenn’s reaction) if you watched In the Beginning first

      space waffle house

      Stop everything else, this is the show I want. Let’s see a strung out avian fist fighting a drunk grey across the counter, while a little green man twerks in the background.

        Okay yeah but… that sounds like a lotta work.

        So here’s Homer Simpson eating a waffle, wrapped around a stick of butter. Bonus: it’s fried:-P
