So... On a slight tangent... If you enjoyed Babylon 5, but have never seen Blake's 7, then you've got some essential viewing ahead of you. Shonky sets, dubious costumes, some terrible fight choreography, and some of the best plotting and dialogue going (all credit to Terry Nation). British SciFi at it's best. And the spiritual precursor of all 'plucky group of outlaws on a stolen ship' series (such as Farscape and Lexx).

I will always upvote Blake's 7!
