Babylon 5 article

In real life I work as a journalist, and I recently wrote this piece about how scientists view B5 and how they've been inspired by the show. I'm not sure if many people have read it so I thought I'd post the link here. Please feel free to share on social media etc.

A scientist I spoke to after I'd submitted the article to my editor, so he's not in the article, told me he came to the show 5-10 years after it aired, but now his research group has a running joke where they tell the students they can't graduate until they've watched the entire show. At least, I think he was joking!

I'll share your article with two fellow B5 fans who are close friends of mine. I know they'll appreciate it.

IMHO, the story that needs told is Crusade. They could make that as JMS wanted to tell it. Babylon 5 is perfectly fine as is. I see no reason for rehashing old ground in a story that was already well told, when you have Crusade sitting there, a story that was truncated by idiots.

Thanks! And who knows, it's entirely possible that JMS will fold part of the Crusade storyline into this new series? I think this new B5 will be very different to the original.
