Nto likes Babylon 5

I have learned from Marcus that it is bad to talk of yourself in the third person, so I will try to avoid this pretension. I certainly didn't intend to put on airs.

I discovered Babylon 5 originally when colleagues discussed it enthusiastically around the coffee break table but at the time couldn't commit to a serial because of young children who controlled the television channel. With the DVD set I now have tasted and quickly become addicted to the world of 2258-2262 of future time and the future place of space station Babylon 5.

The story and characters are incredibly well developed and the 110 45-minute programs plus movies mean that this is more a modern novel in video form than a TV program. I really know of nothing to compare with it. Although set in the future, it is as much about now as anything as any roman-a-cle could be. Watching the world politics of 2007 and this story unfold yields some eerie parallels.
