It appears that the fifth station has exploded...

... and I say, thank goodness. The world has more than enough Babylon 5 material to watch, and re-watch, for better and for worse. It's time to move on and put money into making new things. I feel the same about most genre shows that get glommed onto by fannish devotion: nearly all of them have spent their time under the sun, told their stories, and in many cases long over-stayed their welcome. Some shows get canned before their chance to really solidly settle in (FireFly, for example, and Timothy Hutton's Nero Wolfe series).

But B5 is certainly not one of those.

All the kewl kidz are doin' it, so why can't I?

So, I started watching the first instalment of Dr Horrible. I did not finish it. I just can't get past the musical numbers. This seems to be a combination of two forms of entertainment I just don't enjoy: parody and musicals. As such, it remains unappreciated by me. Ah well.
