Okay, which one of you started the B5 thread on the Star Citizen forums?!

Not me! Don't know what Star Citizen is. But I hope there are B5 fans over there, too!

LOL not me, but now i have to go see what that post is.

There are quite a few B5 fans over there. Mainly talking about how incredible the story was and how they hope Star Citizen has a great story. It's a new game being created by Chris Roberts (creator of Wing Commander).

I don't know if you can get to the forums if you haven't registered.

That first post made me think of something that should have occurred to me a long time ago.

The novel Earthblood by Keith Laumer and Rosel George Brown has a back story that shows the same wisdom found in Babylon 5. The arrogant human race expanding through space until it meets a vastly older species that humbles it and crashes its empire down.

Into that universe, many, many years later, our hero emerges.


Still a great read imo.
