    If you’ve watched Babylon 5, this is like when ISN came back as a propaganda network.

    If you haven’t watched Babylon 5, go watch Babylon 5.

      Every day Trump is in office, Babylon 5 just pops into my head. My local radio station has ABC news bits, and I’m always expecting them to be cracked down on like ISN.

      I hate that when Sci-Fi uses the future to look at society, society decides to become that bad future.

        No you gotta muscle through. It goes off the rails in Babylon 2, and gets a little artsy for my taste in Babylon 3, but after it starts to find itself again in Babylon 4, it’s a masterpiece by Babylon 5. That’s why that’s the one you always hear about.

      I watched the first season, I should pick it up again. (People say it gets better after the first season but I thought that first season was pretty good!)

        The only season that wasn’t that good was the 5th season. It’s still pretty good and worth the watch, but they thought the show was cancelled after the 4th season, and tried to wrap up all their loose ends for the season 4 finale. Then they got approved for a 5th season.
