I'm a Babylon 5 fanatic.

There we go. Thought I'd get that out of the way first.

I used to be a regular follower of the Babylon 5 moderated newsgroup, and thus a regular consumer of series updates from Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski. Without going into my usual twenty minute-long speech about how B5 is the greatest television show ever, let me simply say that B5 is good science fiction. Damn good science fiction. Any show where the writer/producer regularly interacts with fans and provides lucid, helpful answers to their questions deserves bonus points, anyway.

It'd been a while since I'd read rastb5m, so I hit Google Groups and poked around a bit for recent postings from jms, to get a handle on what's going on in the B5 universe these days. The big news, of course, is the 2 hour TV movie, Babylon 5: Legend of the Rangers, which premiers January 19. Hey, I don't watch much TV anymore. I didn't know it was coming out so soon.

Not a lot happening at work today. I'm nailing down help desk tickets, but most of my day is being spent at my desk, poking around on the web and wondering if anybody is even reading this thing.

Probably better if no one is.
