I dont know how many of you remember but in days of yore (like 6 or 7 years ago) there was a TV show that aired on TNT called Babylon 5. The more this Halo trilogy developes the more I am thinking they are very very similar. I'm not a huge fan of sci-fi but Babylon 5 really hooked me for a number of reasons.

First of all the Human forces seem to be very similar in both. Even the ships look similar. In both cases as well the human forces are fighting a seemingly hopeless battle against 2 much more powerful forces.

Also in both there is an ancient more advanced race that seems to be the key to victory for the humans. I believe that they are even called the ancients in Babylon 5 as well.

Of course there is no MC in Babylon 5 but still I think there are some striking similarities. Maybe its just me.

the Star Gate series has a similar story line too. humans fighting aliens which are way more powerful. an ancient race exsisted and now humans need to find more about their technology to help them defeat their enemies.
