I get fed up in sci-fi and also in fantasy of Christianity - and obvious parallels - so often being the "bad guy".

I rather agree here, though I probably don't take it quite so personally as you do. Actually I think I wouldn't mind a negative portrayal if the alternative presented were halfway plausible. The sort of 'Christianity bad, fluffy harm none neo-pagan waffle good' paradigm irritates me. As does the assumption that all Christians are hypocrites and follow their religion out of routine, while all fluffy new-agers are completely sincere and perfect exemplars of the ideals of their faith. Yes, your made up religion looks lovely, but that's because you've never thought through how it would mesh with the real world and real people.

and I recommend B5
Well, I'm more interested to get into that than bloody Buffy. If I ever do get round to getting a TV or DVD player that will certainly be on the list.
