Babylon 5 was on an over-the-air station here for the first four years (then went to TNT the last season) but I managed to tape all of the episodes, and it was worth it to do so. The over-arcing plot is really complex, though really subtle in the first season, and when a thread does get resolved, I would think that "aha, THAT is why THIS happened two seasons or so back!!" Enjoy the DVD's. (One head's-up: You may not quite like the fifth season; that was because the exec. producer thought he would be cancelled after the fourth season and not be able to do a fifth season as he thought originally, so had to cram a lot into the fourth season episodes. Then TNT bought out the rights to do a fifth season.)AS an aside, that same local station once had a three-hour block one could only love. Picture this:>> Star Trek: DS9 at 8:00,>> Babylon 5 at 9:00;>> Star Trek: Voyager at 10:00---all on the same night. Made it heck to try and tape, but was a lot of fun to watch--all first run (or current season) and NEVER boring!

Consider Red Dwarf, where the special effects are intentionally cheesy in a sort of tribute to Star Trek and Space 1999...hillarious.) Mark

Badmike wrote:Heroes started out great. One of the best pilots I've ever seen. However, I'm getting just a little worried...the last few episodes have been "samey", Nothing is really happening, and much like "Lost" nothing is really being discovered about the Heroes mysterious "purpose", unfortunately I think they are going to end up dragging this plotline out the entire season. I hope the quality writing and characterization continues and they don't start falling into a "power of the week" or "everyone runs around this episode but nothing really happens" rut. Still, they did manage a pretty good run of episodes with a surprise ending every time, some of them quite shocking. And if you love comics, it's by far the best comic book story ever shown on TV (don't be fooled, it's not strictly SF no matter what the promos say, it's a comic book on TV, and they even have a tip of the hat by making one of the main characters a comic book artist and one a uber geek comic book fan!). And don't forget, the cheerleader chick is SMOKING hot and Ali Larter ain't bad either.... Mike B.
