Was it you recently, when I was banging on about Trek and stuff that recommended Babylon5? Watching the first one now and it's a bit 'lightweight', but not terrrible. If it gets better, I might stick with this one?

@bytebro @JdeBP common thing in the beginning. B5 really plays the long game, though. I also think it holds up fairly well.

@claudius

Alas, the original 4:3 has been expanded and then cropped for the 16:9 that one gets nowadays. It does look better in the original aspect ratio, if one can find that.

It holds up well I think in part because it's a vision of the future that is firmly rooted in actual history; which rhymes. Without saying too much: If @bytebro gets some way along, xe might recognize some parallels to stuff that has happened since the 1990s.

And the quotations that I've been adding. (-:

'What are those Earth creatures called? Feathers, long bill, webbed feet, go "quack".'
