cameras or their sound levels or anything else--I love that show. Sometimes I get irritated that ceylons are so damned OBVIOUS to me and seemingly to nobody else but I like the overall plot. It's about time something as cool as Babylon 5 hit the tube and I will take quality scifi where I can find it. They need better designed uniforms and they need to stop showing every actor wearing eyeglasses but the absolute blood and guts humanity of the show is great. People cuss, fight, grieve, argue, sleep with each other, bleed and sweat like real human beings who are fighting constantly to save their own lives. What could be more cool than the double plot for each leader to order an assassination of each other and neither one of them ended up carrying out the order but a ceylon did! Could you do a better job staying alive than these people are doing? I still don't know how Sharon got pregnant when we all know that on the inside of her arm she is wires and cables and chips. How do computers come equipped with wombs? Why give a "toaster" ovaries? Some parts of the plot are just silly but I watch it for the real life emotions and just marvel at the human ability to SURVIVE anything. Colonel Tighe is a knock down drunk. Get over it--people drink. Starbuck is a tomboy who smokes cigars, fights like a man and will take on anything or anyone in her way. The president is a WOMAN who isn't afraid to stick a ceylon out an air lock or sit in a brig and still be a cool leader with a level head. The doctor is a chain smoker with a poisonous attitude. How human and irresponsible can you get?
Yup, I am a fan and I don't give a damn who likes it or doesn't but don't ruin it for the rest of us, please. Quality scifi is nearly non existent.
