Thirty years ago today, BABYLON 5 began its series run with the episode Midnight on the Firing Line, which is where we were and what we felt at the time: this was make-it-or-break-it time. Could we make a five year arc work? Would it endure? And now, here we are. Astonishing.
Absolutely loved Wild Blue Yonder. Loved 14 talking about Flux and The Timeless Child (alluded) as well. Can’t wait to watch fake Doctor Who fans froth at the mouth about it all! Wonderful!
@ScottyLikesCake I think it’s fun to contrast with the movies. Carrie, The shining, Misery ( great book), Pet Sematary(also great), It and straight movie: awful but wonderful - Maximum overdrive
In the 1970s, Italian singer Adriano Celentano created a hit song that defied convention. "Prisencolinensinainciusol," released in 1972, featured gibberish lyrics meant to sound like English. The song was a playful satire of the global fascination with American culture and the English language. Despite its nonsensical lyrics, the song's catchy melody and Celentano's charismatic performance made it a hit not only in Italy but also internationally.
A sickness known as hate. Not a virus, not a microbe, not a germ — but a sickness nonetheless, highly contagious, deadly in its effects. Don't look for it in the Twilight Zone — look for it in a mirror. Look for it before the light goes out altogether.

ALIEN was released 44 years ago today. One of the definitive science fiction/horror movies, its influence is still seen to this day. The behind-the-scenes story of how the film was made is a fascinating one...
