Babylon 5 - Babylon Squared. (1994)

How do I feel about Babylon 5?

Well, casting my mind back I can tell you I was too busy watching Star Trek Deep Space Nine to find the time to watch another show that seemed to be covering very similar ground.  And the bits I had seen seemed kind of, well; meh!  I also happened to be working in a comic book store at the time it was on British TV so I was also constantly hassled by fans of the show, nagging me into giving it another go because I would love it, apparently!  Well I didn't. I still haven't. And can't see as I ever will.

And what's really odd is that; meh! still remains my most succinct explanation as to why I feel such indifference to the programme.

Anyway it has spacesuits in it and one in particular that seems to look a lot like a 2001 spacesuit, and I do like those so I'll give it some blog space.
 
Quite nice isn't it.

They clearly thought so themselves because it pops up again in the 3rd season two-parter; War Without End. (1996)


If any Bab-fivers (Is that what you call yourselves?) out there want to let me know more about this suit and why it looks a lot like one of Kubrick's creations I would be very grateful for the knowledge share.
