Babylon 5 pics and links

I got hooked on Babylon 5 back when the show was originally run in syndication, which was 11:30 every Saturday night. It was very close to the end of the shadow war that our local station dropped the series and replaced it with Baywatch reruns. My son, being much younger then and certainly not interested in anything so dark and depressing, could not understand what I saw in the show or why I was bummed when it was axed. Like a lot of people he kinda compared it to Next Generation , which is like comparing Gulliver's Travels to Lord of the Rings . However, when it was brought back to life by TNT we watched it from the beginning and he became more avid a fan than myself. We're both going to miss it, and we're both a little skeptical about the new "Crusade" series, as it's said not to have near the story arc as B5 (which made it so addicting), and if the music is like what we heard in "Call to arms" it will be difficult for me to sit through long enough to warm up to a new set of characters. After the final B5 "Sleeping in light" episode it's hard to imagine anything coming close to that kind of overwhelming bittersweetness. (That final sequence of events and Ivanova's speech enhanced by Christopher Franke's piece still gives me goosebumps). I would have been content to say goodbye there, even with all the loose ends left unresolved (from previous episodes we all know what happens anyway). Anyway, until we get this page a little more detailed out, here are a few pics and links to fill it out for now. And for tons of info on new and classic TV check out the Links to other cool shows .
