How yummy to see some writing about B5. I have the first series on DVD but haven't been able to afford the rest yet. One of the TV channels ran the entire series last year and I enjoyed re-watching every episode.
All in all, it is a very good show, even though I still prefer Star Trek... mainly the original series and DS9.
I bought the first 4 seasons on videotape, back in the Stone Age, as well as Crusade and the TV-movies. Now I'm afraid to play them, out of concern that my aged video recorder/DVD player combo might gut them. Fortunately, I've got Season 5 on DVD.
Seven of Nine from yesterday's snippet got me interested. Today's snippet is a bit over my head, but I enjoyed the reading. I've now added both Kansas and Kansas 2 to my reading list, although Tales from Halabor and The Book of Mazarbul are still at the top. As of right now, I am struggling to re-read The Shoemaker's Daughter, not that I don't love the story, it's just that every time I start reading, I either get interrupted or fall asleep. I am having the same problem with movies. Dear husband gave me an Amazon Fire stick for Christmas and I now have more choice of movies to watch than ever before, I just cannot seem to stay awake while viewing them.

He was literally incredulous that I only wanted reading glasses and not also glasses for distance (which I have never been prescribed), as he said I have been driving, apparently for quite some time, using only one eye. Sure enough, when he covered my left eye, the eye chart to the

I hope your new glasses will be doing the trick; it is very unpleasant when your eyes aren't up to the demands of daily life. All hail the new eye doctor!
Babylon 5 is a fairly complex show, it can be confusing when someone stumbles over fanfic without preparation. Seven of Nine would have been an interesting character, had the PTB not twisted her into a rather unmatching mix of femme fatale and deus ex machina.
I'm in the process of moving my stuff over to AO3 (under the same username) because there I can answer reviews on the review board itself... well, theoretically. Reviews are a rare thing over there, unless you manage to build up a large following, which I never managed. But at least you can delete all kinds of nasty reviews, regardless if signed or not.
