They have a saying...

My son has just watched the TV movie "In The Beginning". It is, in essense, an episode of Babylon 5*. When he was finished he said, "it... it makes me want to watch more."

I cannot tell you how glad I was to hear that. He knows the power of a good story, even if he doesn't know he knows. Now all I have to do is get all 5 seasons on DVD. Woe is me.**



*I promised my father that link. If he visits, he'll get it.

**I already have season 4, by some odd bit of luck. And I wouldn't purchase, for my family, more than one season per year anyway... so I must wait out the long hall to my birthday, when I will purchase Terry Pratchett's latest book and wonder what it was I thought I needed so badly.***

***Knowing yourself this well is a curse. Self ignorance may well be the true path to inner happiness.
