And so it begins

Hello all,

I am Adam, and I am your host for the ride. So, I love Sci-Fi. In all shapes and sizes. From Stargate and Star Trek, to Star Wars and Babylon 5. I have indulged in the Original Battlestar Galactica and even in the Re-imagined Series.

I have written Fanfiction for Star Wars, Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica.

I am even now writing a Sci-Fi story, inspired by most especially Babylon 5.

I was 5 years old when Babylon 5 first came on the air. But, I first learned of it when I was 9. I was at my Grandparents house and they had some VHS copies of the show, but when I saw it and despite the fact it had a whole war in it, I was not interested at all.

Then, after I graduated High School back in 2007, I decided to jump over to the Sci-Fi, and there was a scene of an assassination of an Emperor, who at the time I had no clue. Being the hardcore Sci-Fi geek I was at the time, I said, "That's stupid" and changed the channel. But, when I was 21 (last year in fact) and having finished serving a mission for my religion, I had seen all the Star Wars and Star Trek stuff that had come out at that time, I decided to see what else was out there in the Sci-Fi world, and read the summary of Babylon 5 on Wikipedia.

I thought for a second, "Wait, wasn't that that one show with the guy getting killed? Wasn't that stupid?" But, giving it some thought, decided to check out a couple of the episodes on Netflix. After the third episode, I rushed out to buy the DVD sets and I soon had seen the entire series and had fallen in love with the show.

And now, it is one of my favorite TV shows ever, if not the best I've seen.

And I hope to give back to the community and keep alive this great series.
