Last week's episode had Vicars(VCRs) and this one has old fashioned surgery... just things that date the show a bit though certainly not much to an old fogey like me.

They were pretty up to date and accurate in their physics and tech, like ship design. And I find it fascinating that there are still groups working on data crystal storage today. But the biology lags. Perhaps it was a secondary concern, or just harder to deal with in the context of the show.

I guess I'm still waiting for someone to make a Sector General series.

Yeah, medicine definetely wasn't one of B5's strongest points - from the med staff's rather lax ideas about hygiene to Franklin describing Londo's two hearts as a "bipulmonary system"...

I really try to forget about that one.

Ah well, more room for me to invent biology (see the pretty silver lining?)
