Babylon 5 is still one of my all time favourite sci-fi series. So many good scenes and the actors like Peter Jurasik and Andreas Katsulas just bring their characters to life.
Ive been both disturbed and sort of amazed at how closely modern events have paralleled events in Babylon 5, which itself is a recounting of WWII and the rise of fascism. The disregard of a rules based order for one based in power is common throughout our history, and always leads to unintended consequences down the road. Refa’s attitude is reflected by so many in the modern world.
The greatest science fiction to ever grace television. I’m doing a rewatch right now too.
