        Because of this site’s recommendations; especially that of Dr. Farrell – I recently purchased, Babylon 5: the complete collection series – includes Bonus 5 Movie Set and Crusade Collection.
        The reasaon I mention it here; is i just finished watching Season 3, Disc 1, Episode 5/Voices of Authority. It’s where a political officer is testing out the boundaries in the de jure ways of command.
        But the real commander absolutely refuses to give up ANY liberty, for a little political security.
        This episode is so prescient to today’s medical international political officers, trying to curtail national sovereignties worldwide.
        Great Series!
        Thanks ALL for the recommendations!

            If you can handle a little bit of cheese, ‘Earth: Final Conflict’ (1997-2002) is worth a watch to compare to modern politics. The character, Jonathan Doors seems to be modeled off of Donald Trump; he runs for president on an anti-alien agenda in spite of their seeming benevolence. There’s even a reference to Door mastering the “art of the deal”. Perhaps some predictive television from Mr. Roddenberry.
