It is dangerous to attend too closely...

You might figure out your favorite character in that series is gonna bite it somewhere down the line.

Bother.

This is why **I** like to do the storytelling. I can pick my own time and place to cry over characters, as opposed to having it sprung on me. I still haven't forgiven J. Michael Straczynski for killing off my favorite character, even if s/he does get resurrected in the next few hundred years.

Babylon 5? I watched a lot of that.. most? Maybe not all.. I forget who died/rose again.

I've got the DVDs if you feel a need to re-visit. It's still the best overall SF show in a long time. I liked the counterpoint of the big arc and little arcs and stand-alone episodes. Also, it alternated between humor and high drama, as opposed to being unrelievedly dark.

Love Babylon 5. JMS mad us care about those characters - even the ones who turned out to be villains.

Yup.

He's a very good storyteller. I did not follow him into comics, but I might look for the graphic novels, as they are collected.

I've enjoyed his Rising Stars series too.

Rising Stars is the one that looked like my style.
