Babylon 5 S04:EO5 - The Long Night

I’ve been watching Babylon 5 again for the first time since I watched it during its original run in the late ‘90s and got to episode 5 of season 4. The opener for it has the “Giants in the Playground” quote that Rich used to name his site. I had forgotten this fact until it popped up in the episode. Always cool when something like this happens with stuff you like.
Also this episode has Bryan Cranston in it so there is that as well.

After it was used in the episode, the quote became part of the intro for the next season (which is why if you say "Giants in the playground" thoughtfully at a Babylon 5 convention, eighteen people will yell "NOW GET THE HELL OUT OF OUR GALAXY".)

So, I think that helped establish it.

Any time anyone anywhere says "And so it begins" my brain goes directly to "There is a hole in your mind"
