We have been rewatching the sci-fi series from the 1990s called Babylon 5 and I have to say that while it’s a work of fiction, its themes remain relevant and it’s social commentary resonates with current events.

It’s one of those rare shows that understood that the “war” isn’t just about ships firing weapons but also about the erosion of democratic institutions and the always persistent push of authoritarianism.

“There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against that power, governments, tyrants and armies cannot stand.”
