The obligatory “Hey, an animated Bab5 movie!” post.

I keep getting sent this, suprisingly.

That’s sarcasm; I understand why I keep getting it. I just… worry. So many of the original cast aren’t with us anymore. I hope this doesn’t end up sucking.

If a scandal freaked him out, then you knew that the Democrats were in full Panic Mode over it.  Aside from that… eh. He’ll be gone tomorrow, and the world will not have changed.

But I can see how people might be upset that the show was over. *I* was upset after the last episode of Babylon 5, after all.  After a while, you see your favorite entertainments as being part of an orderly universe, you know what I mean?  And re-runs are never the same, somehow. Hopefully they’ll find something else to veg out to…
