Who are you, what do you want?
Is the answer "a person who's fiending Babylon 5", perhaps? The library has just added the first three seasons of this acclaimed science fiction series. Yet be warned, this is not your average sci-fi escapist tripe: storytelling is the focus, with entire seasons devoted to subtle story arcs that bring you into plot, leading you, slowly, into wondrous, thematically charged waters laden with the muck of humanity, where characters are forever changed by the events they encounter, and nary a phaser in sight. Does the cinematography suck? Sort of, but only in the first season, just ignore it and pay attention.
