Tracey Scoggins Space City Con 2013

When Babylon 5 first came on, I watched the 2 hour premiere. I didn’t watch another episode for another over a decade.  In that time I was told how great it was; how ground breaking; how inspiring; how it was nominated for Emmys and Hugos.

It wasn’t unit I was well into my stint of unemployment that I started watching it on Netflix.  To be honest, I still don’t get the hubbub.  My life was not changed or inspired.  I haven't even been nominated for an Emmy.

And I’m sure people don’t get a lot of the shows I watch either.  Oh well.

Tracey Scoggins was one of the main characters of the show and since the show is part of our nerd culture, I wanted to add Tracey to my collection.

She had just finished with a person that was telling his life story.  He was showing her a book of other autographs he had collected and going into detail about his Starlog magazine collection and getting the covers signed.

As I stepped up it was SOOOO tempting to mimic that guy. It would amuse me but I doubt it would amuse Tracey. I didn’t do that. Instead I gave her a reprieve. I made it quick and simple and got out of the way.  With no one behind me she quickly escaped from behind the table to take a break.
