imhilienChallenge: In your own space, write a promo, manifesto or primer for your fave character, ship or fandom.
Well, it's the 30th anniversary (eep!) of sci-fi TV series Babylon 5, which I'm a fan of. It's been called 'Lord of the Rings in Space' about a space station built in neutral territory so different alien races can work out their differences without things developing into galactic war (again). It's the show I always measure others against and sometimes they get there (The Expanse).
Many characters are flawed but try and do the right thing anyway. Even when I rewatch the show, some episodes will still have me on the edge of my seat. I'm on Tumblr and the #babylon 5 section has been more active in recent years, probably due to the show being on HBO Max, although I hear that's going to cease soon on that TV network.
I live in New Zealand and in ancient days of old we had to wait a year to catch up with America's episode screenings. My friends group got around this by having an American friend tape episodes on VHS and send them to us by actual mail. Then we had binge-watching sessions (and once annoyed the neighbours, but in our defense, we were watching Season 4).
That's certainly how much the show meant to us.
