I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn’t it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe.

One of my favourite quotes from the show.
Glad I’m not the only one that remembers it.

  It’s easily one of my favorite TV shows of all time.
  
  Though the line that’s. Even rolling through my head since Gaza started is Delenn getting pissed at Lando and G’kar, shouting “When does it end?!” That rant is…. Piercing.

    (good god did Walter Koenig play that role. it’s incredibly different from Chekov, and he was amazing at both. and wow are the one liner’s in bab5 just… memorable.)
    
    If you’re looking for things that still have an enduring relevance today… check out the OG the Day the Earth Stood Still not the remake with keanu reeves. that one deserves the George Lucas Holiday Special™️treatment. It’s classic 1950’s scifi at it’s peak. (yes, that’s easily my favorite movie. hands down.)

Man with how much of my life was front loaded with suffering I wish I could just use it as a “get out of current issue free” card.

I find it very unfair actually how few people actually have to face consequences for their actions in meaningful ways. I don’t want them repeating them.
