It was the year of fire
The year of destruction
The year we took back what was ours
It was the year of rebirth
The year of great sadness
The year of pain
And a year of joy
It was a new age
It was the end of history
It was the year everything changed…

Babylon 5, Season 4 opening narration

I saw the remark in your tags about humans and religion and wanted to mention that in Babylon 5, our wide variety of religious ideas IS presented as one of our alien quirks! Most of the other species have a few minor sects within a dominant religion, but only humans have so many and so varied belief systems. Everyone else finds it odd and fascinating and wonders how we manage it all.

Oh, man, I need to watch Babylon 5! The more I hear about it, the more I say to myself, self, that is some smart SF!

Thanks for tipping me off!

Yes! Babylon 5! I can’t even articulate the awesome that is Babylon 5! It’s dark, but it is goooood.
