Babylon 5 - series 5 and other bits

Babylon 5

Each evening for the last week or so I've managed to watch an episode from season 5 of Babylon 5. I think this is only the second time that I've watched these, the first being when they were first broadcast back on Channel 4. The motivation to watch them was brought on by the imminent UK release of a new B5 dvd. It's on my Amazon wish list already!

Needless to say, I'm really enjoying them. I'm still not particularly fond of Byron. Perhaps it's the actor, but he sure doesn't appear to be a charismatic leader for the telepaths. So it's a pity as the conflict with Psi-Corps and the resolution of the telepaths story involves Byron a great deal. Minor quibbles aside, it's still a great series. The quality shines through on each episode.

I'm on episode 10 out of 22 so should finish the series within the next fortnight.

The Da Vinci Code

The one evening when I didn't watch B5 I watched the movie of the Da Vinci Code. The book was great - the film wasn't. Enough said.
