Indeed Babylon 5 is great. I'm half-way through converting the seasons from DVD to MPEG 4. I watch episodes at work on break on my PSP! I love that show! Must watch every episode in order... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

BAB 5 also explores what happens when a democracy (on Earth) descends into depotism in a 2nd/3rd/4th season story arc. Of course the fraility of democracy in BAB 5 has nothing to do with some mystical darkside, but rather the zealous fantatism of suspicious militant nationalism, racist xenophobia and the normal corruption that comes from the desire for power. The Shadows didn't help either!
