Fascinating thread.

I never watched Babylon 5 regularly– mainly because it was mostly screened in the middle of the night– and so I have little knowledge of the overall story, but even so I noticed a lot of Tolkien parellels. I actually thought I might be imagining things.

*You had to be very dedicated and/or insomniac to follow any SF series here when I was a teenager, let me tell you.
