to think my wife is using cruel and unusual punishment...

[MNHubbie]

to think my wife is using cruel and unusual punishment to drive me to get off my arse and do something today?

Little House on the Prairie with the threat of Touched by an Angel later.

I do have a case for throwing Ranty out and having her arrested for Human Rights' abuses, don't I?

I don't know if it ever got shown on TV but it's on DVD. There are also 2 episodes made and set after the end of season 5. My favourite episode from season 5 was 2day of the Dead."

And I'm a wee bit in love with mr Morden. He is all kinds of crazy.

When my sister wants my BIL to do something constructive she watches back-to-back Come Dine With Me. Or at least she used to; we haven't spoken since she lost us a point at the school pub quiz by wrongly insisting that The Waltons theme music was in fact Little House on the Prairie

Day of the Dead one of the only episodes not written by J. Michael Strazinski. Actually scripted by Neil Gaiman of Sandman, Death, Good Omens, Neverwhere and American Gods fame.

confused we had to suffer the canning so it is good parenting to share that.

Interesting! Strazinski had a hand in most of the novels as well. the psi_corps books are beyond amazing. I've yet to read the ones dealing with G'Kar. there are another set of books, but I can't remember what they were about. I'll get them when i'm done with G'Kar. Which I won't be for a while because it'll bring me another step closer to having sucked up every bit of B5ness I get!

A lot of my favourite quotes come from B5, not least, "Understanding is a three edged sword. Your side, their side- and the truth." That holds true in AIBU especially lol

I've not seen enough to judge but my favourite quote is something along the lines of: "Only one human commander has ever survived battle with the Mimbari. He is behind me. YOU are in front of me."

The best description of Bab5 I've heard was from a friend: "Season 1 of Star Trek the Next Generation has an episode where a plague ship is heading for an unarmed paradise. It ends with Troi's husband to be going off with them and all being well. Babylon 5 would have done the same episode except the ship would have been destroyed too late and the whole planet would have died of the plague too... and the Enterprise would have been destroyed with 90% of the major recurring characters dying. Oh and of the 10% remaining 4% would be so badly effected they would be utterly changed forever... and 1% would somehow be infected by an alien that would make them enemies of all the folks we know but that wouldn't become clear for at least 3 seasons. And that is just one episode."
