Babylon 5 comes to an end, Buffy turns a corner

Recent DVD watching has been interesting.  Saw Bablyon 5's "Sleeping in Light" and Buffy's "Surprise"

Sleeping in Light is an odd one.  Did JMS originally plan this ending?  (And if you want to reply, bear in mind that some people on my friends list haven't seen all of B5 yet). No big bombastic conclusion that we tend to expect from Sci-fi shows.  Babylon 5 just said tearful goodbye to us and we went our separate ways. 

I've always rather liked surprise. A couple of aspects work better when you know what's going to happen.  Angel: "What do you want for your birthday?" Buffy: "Surprise me". 

Now B5's finished I have enough time to start watching other stuff.  Yesterday's DVD was Sharpe's Eagle.  One of the problems with virtually never watching ITV is that I miss a couple of good shows.  Never did see Sharpe the first time round.

And there was hardly anyone there.  Gets a bit dull dancing with the same people several times in a night so I went home.
