B5 Season 1 disc one...

I just saw in our local record store, the full seasons selling for only $20 each. $100 for a boxed retail set - not bad!

Please elaborate.

I've noticed that too. The slanted eye thing. Besides looking different, probably helps with the mainstreams perception of a technically superior race. Nevermind the fact we had a very large hand in building and re-building most all of their major technologically minded manufacturing facilities after WWII. While we either shut down, moved or spent a fortune retrofitting ours ;-)

it's not just the slanted eye vs pointed ear. the martial arts thing, suppression of emotions, writing system with three alphabets etc ...

as for the minbari, martial arts thing again, the code of honor thing (munbari acts of harakiri) and some other stuff that I can't recall now ...

maybe it's just I've spent too much time in japan, lol

Good points. I guess honor, knowing how to fight and conducting yourself logically would seem "alien" to some. lmao
