A decent pilot episode. I liked it; especially the interplay between the captain and his XO. Now let's hope enough people watched...we've been bereft of really good sci-fi on the TV since B5 went offline.
"War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
John Stuart Mill
