My wife and I caught a lucky break. Our local Fry's electronics had all five seasons on sale for $18 each and were sold out. So, I got rainchecks for them and have been redeeming them, one each week. So far, we've gotten through seasons 1-3 and she's TOTALLY hooked, now. We'll be getting season 4 on Friday and, we hope, season 5 next week. It's been wonderful sharing this with her (I was enthralled with the show when it was on the air) and she gets that it's really a space opera, with all of the epic details and loose ends that that genre seems to have. It's sparked many a discussion about how the story lines cross over into other tales and where many of the inspirations may have come from. She has an English degree, so she sees the ties to classic literature, like Homer and Shakespeare, that I knew about but couldn't quite grasp. What a wonderful journey it's been, together.

Anyway, I have been searching for more information to fuel our discussions, online, and have stumbled across some images/websites that I thought I should share, here. Enjoy, one and all.

Okay, so that's all I've got, for now. I've gained a new appreciation for Joe Straczynski and his vision. I've also learned that I've got more to learn about the B5 universe than I originally anticipated. So, it's an addiction with more to keep it alive than I'd imagined. How wonderful...

Love and light, dear ones.
