Baby Lon 5...

I got a new baby, not my first one but the first one called Lon, though technically it is the 5th incarnation of Lon since the first Lonnies didn't live long enough to be mentioned really. Why then have 5 in a row, if it's not efficient? Oh well you know how we all love our babies. Okay so Baby Lon 5 is a bit on the fat side weighing roughly 2.5 million tons (of spinning steel) but well its just like with Obelix - she's strong-boned.

Now Lonny lass may be young of age but she is already crawling with bacterial activity. Millions and millions of parasites that could not live unprotected in the space surrounding our Baby Lon 5 are swarming inside her huge body. Among the most prominent of those are Humans, Narn, Centauri, Mimbari, Vorlons and Hobbits. Okay cut out the Hobbits...different story really.

The best thing about this big Baby is that it fits sliced into lots of
tine pieces on loads of silver disks. DVDs.
So fun aside. If you were ever even remotly interested in science-fiction from a religious, scientific or political level this television series from the mid-nineties is for you. True the computer effects (at that time spectacular) look very dated, but very soon you will forget this fact, because of the dramatic, world-changing story unfolding that always comes back to unimportant and important little details covered in earlier seasons. It was one of the bigger, successful series that made it to a full of 5 seasons (it's called Babylon 5 after all) and actually managed to tell all of its story.

If you get a chance: Grab it - watch it - love it
