    I am a big Babylon 5 fan, quite possibly the best Sci-Fi series ever!
    The last best hope for peace!
    Anyone else a fan?

    I ADORE Bab5. Soooo totally good. I really wish the dvd sets would drop a little in price though, they're pretty expensive up in Canada for some reason :( still, <3

    I am glad I am not the only one! I ordered the 1-5 set from amazon.com, now I will have to get the movies! I paid $480, I think around that, American.
    Who was your favorite character? I am torn between Lando and Garibaldi because they were both a little nuts! LOL

    actually one of the few scifi series I was just never able to get into. Think it was because every episode I saw seemed really military. Its exactly the same with Battlestar Galatica, my geek Hubby loves it but I can't get into it.

    i8 loved it .. i would never miss a episode... unfortunatly it started to lose its atraction because i also wished to go out with my friends.. The original series peaked just as i was having other things to think about .. booze birds and the like.. Thankfuly i got to watch them all over again thanks to the sci fi channel.

    I have to say it did 'lose the plot' near the end.. but overal it was great.. far superior in tone and content and acting than Star trek .. i loved that show also, but B5 was more well erm GREAT alround....

    probably because i'm totally confused. i never watched the show. and it still bugs me that they'd call me that and not explain..

    :H

    I am sorry i failed to realise you are not a fan.. so would not have a clue.. humble apology.. It may raise a laugh with some one

    hahahaha

    there you go some bugger laughed.

    I have no real idea apart from you may have looked like a actress in the show.. heavens maybe even with the sun behind you you may have even looked like the space station itself.. but thats not very nice.

    I see.. i was only kidding anyway.. having read some 'young peoples' thoughts being older does not always make you wiser.. it was just a joke.

    I guess you can deciede for yourself ... what they meant.

    I was called dick at school .. strange as they knew my name was matthew not richard. :confused:

    I agree strange indeed :p

    You should.. maybe not ask why they called you that name though. it might be something very very dull. I'ts a great resource for children also.. a tad violent but nothing to bad... apart from the torture.. erm maybe watch each episode first.. i was more thinking the unity and team work and values etc etc etc

    Perhaps you reminded them of some character on the show?
