10/10
Inspiring writing and production

I rarely give a 10 and all I can say the full series, that I recently borrowed from the local library, I watched twice. Unfortunately I followed it with Battleship Gallacia, that I found wanting and had a very convoluted plot. Although it had also great actors, music scores, etc.

Considering this was made in the 1990s, it was revolutionary and it was very easy for me to identify with the screen writer's intentions and overall creative narrative, and see the characters evolve. The booklet attached to the various disc series was also helpful.

Who could not love the various characters, Londo and Vir, but one little thing puzzled me, what happened to the Drahk, who had the keepers. They seem to have disappeared from their captured planet when Vir became Emperor. Maybe they died out all but the one that given by Londo for David's coming of age. I believe he went off his head after a drinking bout.

I really can't say any more in praise of this series. I loved it. It was a masterpiece of concept, continuity, and the writer well you are a master. No other Sci-Fi series comes close, even though I am a Star Trek fan. I hope to get the five movie length discs sometime in the future.
