Another series of Babylon 5 watched and another excellent guide to accompany it. Great interviews and background stories to every episode from Series 3.

As with the first two episode guides, I've been reading this at the same time as watching the re-runs. It's been good, enjoying the episode and then reading about the background - either from the writer, director or actors point of view. The introduction about the special effects, was a bit on the boring side - I guess that since this has been written, FX's are more common and are more widely known about - so I have to admit I only briefly skimmed this. However, the rest of the book was well written and enjoyable.
