Babylon 5 - Series 2 (DVD 2003)

There are many sci-fi shows that are available on DVD some are nostalgic like the original Battlestar Galactica of the 1970's; others humourous like Red Dwarf as the saying goes "Smeg for Brains" and there are a few Sci-fi stories are great: the new Battlestar Galactica, ST Voyager, Space Above and Beyond, Doctor Who (David Tennant)and of course Babylon 5. Why, because all of the story line that are mentioned in my "great" catagory benefit from good writers who care about the characters they create and understand how they would react under difficult circumstances. Great attention is paid to the little details.

In Babylon 5 a saga told over 5 seasons. In it we follow the lives of the characters in the story plots and see some of them rise above adversity and others crumble under the weight. The story is the struggle between apparant good (the earth forces, the Mimbari and so forth), and apparant evil with the Shadows. A bitter war is led up to fought and the aftermath coped with, and along the way plots and subplots take the viewer through twists and turns with subterfuge and lies.

The story is well worth the watching and something to be kept. I will be looking out for more of the DVD's as they become availible to compleate my collection.
