Hello. Did you like Babylon Squared? I'm back now, despite a delay due to a landslide north of Darlington, and ready with Bombay mix, water and a resentful cat to watch Chrysalis. How does the cat feel about the Grey Council, then? Hi, btw. Hope Edinburgh was worth the trip. My mother (who has dementia and is in a care home) was pleased to see me, but a little of any human company goes a long way with her these days, and she was quite happy for me to leave after 45 minutes. The cat likes the Grey Council, but feels that a Black-and-White Council would sound better . . . |

The relationship between Londo and G'Kar is brilliantly written

Dementia is such a vicious, nasty thing. So sorry it's happened to your Mum, Anne.

The relationship between Londo and G'Kar is brilliantly written And it's only just got started! They moved me to tears at times, later on. |

Is Delenn actually cross-eyed, or is it just the prosthetics getting in her way?

Dementia sufferers show us what it'a like to be detatched from time: it must be so scary to know you don't know what's going on.

B5 often talks about Current affairs under an alien guise. The Narns are very recognisable

He can't be President. He isn't wearing a cloak or anything.

Some of the best scenes in B5 are ones with no dialogue, like that one with Lennier. |
