       @staringatclouds History repeats itself & the constant is that we never learn. Even when we are reminded time & again. 😔

       Here's a hint: the boy who was in The Twilight Zone as the kid who wished adults into a cornfield is in Babylon 5 as an adult.

       @claralistensprechen3rd You mean Will Robinson from Lost In Space (Billy Mumy)And yes, I am that old that I saw it when it first airedMy point was that B5 is over 25 years old & is predicting events happening now

       @staringatclouds I was reading en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interfac… (1994) in 2004 or so, and every US Presidential election since then has shocked me with becoming more and more aligned with the book.@claralistensprechen3rd

       Humans that don't change are predictable that way.

       @clacke I used to read this during every election cycle. Eventually it was too much like the actual election in 2020@claralistensprechen3rd @staringatclouds

       @staringatclouds > I'm sitting here thinking "WHEN was this madeI've been watching a lot of the old TV shows and it amazes me how much of that crap is STILL going on even from the 80's.

       @staringatclouds Babylon 5 is my favorite show ever! It's a masterpiece, especially considering they accomplished it on a shoestring budget.

       @staringatclouds @dgar Plus it was fully written as a five season arc before they started filming such that flash-forward scenes in season one didn’t make any sense until season four or five. It was so far ahead of its time.
