It's good to be reminded that there were gems like this in the dialogue of Blake's 7 - maybe I didn't waste my teens watching rubbish after all!

I spent an hour last night watching YouTube clips from Babylon 5, thrilled by the wisdom of G'Kar. So many people write off Sci-Fi/Fantasy, thinking it's just tosh, but it's often an insightful commentary on our contemporary world. Maybe it's time for me to revisit Blake's 7 on YouTube. Thanks.

The best part about this dialogue was anti-hero Avon's response to this assessment of his character: "I didn't come here to be... flattered."

Brilliant.

I've never seen Babylon 5 before - I find American sci-fi a bit worthy and po-faced, but I keep hearing good things about B5.
