Whats I"m Up To

9.12.2003

I just want to say what a big freakin baby I am. Just watched the last episode of Babylon 5 today and it gets me everytime, I get all choked up. And thats why I think its the best TV show ever, no other show got me so involved in the lives of their characters, not to mention in the last 2 episodes really know how to pull at the heart strings. Its really hard to explain, but #1 the writer is a genius, he had his plan of a 5 year story with a definite beginning and an ending, and he did it that way he wanted to. He even became the executive producer just so he could make sure the story that got told was his. Unless you started the series from the beginning, its really hard to understand. You watch these people for 5 years start out running a space station, which acts as sort of a galactic United Nations. And after epic struggles, and personal ones these people go from "joe shmoes" and they end up changing the galaxy. The show has the personal angle, the political angle, the mystery/conspiracy angle, the mysticism angle, the epic space battle every now and then, its even pretty funny at times, and of course the love story. But its never forced there's always foreshadowing, and even if you can see it coming it always different than you expect it. But everyone is characterized well, and its a cohesive interesting story. The end of the series is just everyone moving on from where their lives have gotten them, you just changed the galaxy, your not just going to stay and run a little space station. But yeah Babylon 5 is my most favorite TV show ever, on Monday at 9am on Sci-Fi Channel the show starts again from the beginning and plays every weekday at that time, I encourgae anyone who is interested to watch it, cause its great. But enough of big baby crazy fanboy Yanni.

But yeah also have internet back, so thats cool. Today I have my noon class, and then at 2 I'm back to work, there till 8 tonight :-\. But it looks like I'll be going to see "Once Upon a Time in Mexico" with the fair Catherine afterwards :-D (I literally just made the plan with her before I wrote this sentence). Which looks interesting, and if I like it, I'm prolly gonna rent "El Mariachi" and "Deperado" cause they sound interesting.
