… or as some of my fellow ScienceBlogs bloggers are. Nay, it would appear I would be slightly more at home on Babylon 5 (although it required a tie-breaker to make that determination).
I trust the good folks at the Seed Spaceshipyards will find a way to make a craft that will suit all of us (including other outliers like Orac and Chad).
You scored as Babylon 5 (Babylon 5). The universe is erupting into war and your government picks the wrong side. How much worse could things get? It doesn’t matter, because no matter what you have your friends and you’ll do the right thing. In the end that will be all that matters. Now if only the Psi Cops would leave you alone. |

Oh, so sorry you won’t be joining us on Serenity…
Babylon 5 was the absolute best sci-fi show on the air when it originally aired, I think fondly of it every time I see Rousseau on Lost. You could do worse than to live in a world with those strong characters – but it would be a very depressing world.
I scored 88% Moya/Farscape with an 81% FBI/X-Files a close second. Very odd.
Not a uniformly depressing world, just… one a lot like ours in many ways. I sometimes think series creator J. Michael Straczynski had a post-Sept. 11 sensibility before Sept. 11; it was basically a show about the interaction of politics, religion and culture in a world where bloody-minded stupidity wasn’t going to go away any time soon.
But Babylon 5 doesn’t seem to appeal to all science-fiction fans. The dialogue and acting were of a variety that’s out of style in today’s TV drama, very stagey and declamatory rather than snappy and quasi-naturalistic. It somehow worked better for the actors in alien makeup (particularly for the brilliant Andreas Katsulas, who sadly died recently) than for the ones playing humans.
But where is Max Hedroom?
