Now, isn;t that high tech? It&#8217;s something Grim would be proud of. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the upshot was that HMV were still about \u00a38 less than on the net, so I now have the DVDs.<\/p>\n<p>Now, season 1 isn&#8217;t my most favourite one of Babylon 5. Indeed, I think my order of preference is 3, 4, 2, 1, 5 with 3 and 4 being almost as enjoyable. It&#8217;s just something about the way the back stories weave and the front stories being interesting also. Still, for the semi-reasonable price of \u00a325 season 1&#8217;s a good buy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning&#8217;s been a drab, grey morning. Drizzly at times.
