A few years ago I posted about how the situation with Brexit reminded me very much of the end of "Babylon 5", and especially the fall of Centauri Prime.
"Babylon 5" had a spin-off, "Crusade", the premise of which was... interesting. In revenge for their defeat in the Shadow War, the Drakh launch an attack on Earth. Being defeated, they then launch one final assault - seeding the planet with a plague that proceeds to become a pandemic. And so the people of Earth batten down the hatches and desperately try to ride out the storm, while the experimental ship Excalibur and a crack team of experts race to try to find a cure.
Which is all depressingly familiar.
Unfortunately, there's another sting in this tale: the answer to "what happens next?" is not a happy one. "Crusade" failed almost completely, and as a consequence was cancelled after thirteen episodes. So either I don't know... or worse.
