Love the political infighting in B5. It rings so true....

I think the 'third age of mankind' is a bit too Lord of the Rings for me. There are rather too many echoes of Tolkien in Babylon 5 - it's one of its weaknesses, IMO.

It's all gone very tense hasn't it?

Now it occurs to them that taking the guardian out of the machine was perhaps not the best idea . . .

What are the things your race has to achieve if you're going to dominate the galaxy?

Organisation, leadership, law and order.
FTL spaceship drive
Artificial gravity
Energy source
Star charts
Ability to manipulate energy to create food/water
laseron destroyers (or equivalent)
Instant communication devices
instant translation machine (suitable for all languages, even those nobody has ever heard before)
Female Officers (to keep the male ones sensible)
Great background music
Redundant telepaths
Better space toilets than we have now!

What doesn't change?

Political (and personal) ambition
Greed
Intolerance (even if they claim they do)
Fear of the unknown
Stupid decisions
Substance abuse
