It's quite chilling, really, seeing the 'Home Guard' and knowing that 'Homeland Security' will be along soon, and all the names they have for aliens.
Mind you, the idea that on an inter-planetary community space station there are Humans and there are Aliens... someone didn't get the writing right. That's not the way to express difference!
I do recommend B5, if you get the opportunity. Very intelligent show. There was an episode recently about the pressure on the dock workers, too many hours and not enough money, which speaks to the nuts and bolts of running a space station in a way that doesn't happen very often in television.
