Hey are there any Babylon 5 fans here?
Just got the whole series as a box set and I honestly thought I'd not enjoy them as much on DVD as I did the first time around on TV, but I have to say this is some of the best TV SF I have seen in years. My favourite of all five seasons is the third season when the Shadow war is starting to take shape.
Also love the paranoia themes with Earth and the President going super mental about foreigners, and in the context of the show that means anyone not of Earth origin. I am wondering was Clark based on any real kind of leader? Not that I think we have had any world leaders in the real world that have been THAT paranoid unless you count Adolf, but certainly could see the links between the Night Watch and the Nazis......
