"I can not have an aide who will not look up. You will be forever walking into things."
The Sci Fi Channel, for the past few weeks, has been incessantly airing promos for its annual July 4th weekend Twilight Zone marathon. Every time the promos air, my ears perk up, because they begin something like: "Between the darkness and the light there is the gray," and it always makes me think of Babylon 5 and the greeting of the Minbari Council of 9:
"Summoned, I come. In Valen's name I take the place that has been prepared for me. I'm Grey. I stand between the candle and the star. We are Grey. We stand between the darkness .. and the light."
I was just watching an episode in that TZ marathon, called "It's a Good Life." I'd never seen it before (though of course I'd heard of it and seen a knock-off or two), and it's one of the better episode of the Twilight Zone. A capricious young boy with unexplained omniscience and omnipotence terrorizes a small town. Anyway...
The boy is played by "Billy Mumy" who would grow up to play the Minbari diplomat/warrior Lennier from Babylon 5.
And yes, that's my entire blog post for today.
