Oh god I feel old. I remember the first time it was on. Is the whole
series supoosed to be set in 1980? I just loved that submarine with the
interceptor on the front!!! Although I haven't played SGII yet I rekon a
scenario based on hunting our organ thieving friends through the woods
and gravel pits of England would be cool.

Babylon 5 isn't the only superb and thought-provoking SF series on
British
TV at the moment!
I just watched "U.F.O." on BBC2!
Admittedly, the sort of thoughts it provokes are along the lines of "Why
are
those (female) Interceptor controllers on the Moonbase wearing spangly
jumpsuits and purple wigs?" or "Fishnet Jerseys as part of a military
uniform?", but it's still a welcome blast from the past- a past when
Earth
was defended from organ-thieving alien blighters by British character
actors
with mutton chop sideburns and groovy Fab Gear, ably assisted by the
occasional inexpensive American or Eh Mehn Dooink Ehn Eggzent!
Brilliant!
