Babylon 5
So, totally randomly, I decided to write about Babylon 5 a bit. And I have just as little to say as I did the last time.
I've rewatched most of the episodes this summer. Why, again, no idea. My younger siblings were watching them and I didn't have much better things to do.
First the obligatory quote. Spoken by Vir Cotto. I still think it's awesome and I can still remember it word for word. At least roughly if not almost.
"What do I want? I want to live just long enough to be there when they cut off your head and stick it on a pike as a warning for the next ten generations that some favors do come with too high a price. I want to look up at your lifeless eyes and wave, like this: ... Can you and your associates arrange this for me, Mister Morden?"
What bothers me the most in the series is that the human protagonists have so totally dull and boring names. So stars damned boring. At least their last names are much better. This particular fact reduced my enjoyment of Crusade. Why, oh WHY does the telepath's name have to be John? Why? WHY? That brings me to telepaths.
The last time I spoke of telepaths was also in connection with Babylon 5. Or last time I spoke of Bablyon 5 was also in connection with telepaths. I certainly don't keep track. Telepaths are cool. They're awesome in Babylon 5 and I'd so much like to see more stuff about them. I've drooled over the episodes where they appear and Bester is damn great. Okay, maybe not, but still. Bester IS great, though, as is the Psi Corps trilogy written by Gregory Keyes. The Psi Corps trilogy is mostly about Bester's life and his parents.
Well yeah, I didn't really say anything except praised telepaths. Oh well. http://www.chronology.org/b-five/ is a great site.
