Guys, I feel such gratitude towards anyone who has watched the Babylon 5 soundtrack videos I have uploaded so far... Please, PLEASE try to track down and purchase C. Franke's incredible B5 soundtrack CDs, you'll thank yourself afterwards. He deserves all the credit for his creative work and the income from them. What an amazing talent. Without him, Babylon 5 wouldn't be the same. You KNOW I'm right.
@Swordsman808 Christopher Franke did a wonderful job, his score still gets me every time... Such emotion, raw power, defiance and violence, I really can't find the words to describe how I feel about this work. Just... incredible. I bow down to him.
It was too bad that JMS didn't get to produce the last Star Trek movie. He actually tried for the producer position but JJ Abrams was chosen instead. Also, the ST movie script looks like it was written by the CBS programming office (they own Paramount), and is more Irwin Allen than Gene Roddenbury...
i love ST especially Voyager because even the utopia that roddenberry envisioned is not likely because as JMS showed us with B5 the human condition of war, deceit and the love of freedom, humankind will always be battling the forces of evil. and our sense of justice will be a call for heroes to fight tyranny and oppression. and our basic yearning to be free
the stargate is the main mechanism to transport the characters to a different setting to tell a story. Like ST's warp speed/transporter, B5's Jump Gates, SW's Lightspeed. Every sci-fi story needs to have something that allows ur characters to be taken to the fantastical world the audience is expected to buy into.
@gasdfw5 Stargate actually has more in common than B5, probably any sci-fi series, in the fact that it had the overarching story arc too. Characters, changed over time, died, were reassigned, there were consequences to their actions on a large as well as small scale. I put SG over ST. Anyway there were MANY episodes where the gate was shut down, by Earth & others/sabotaged etc, from abt the 4th series, they acquire, later build their own spaceships from retro-engineering alien tech,
@Swordsman808 Totally with you on that. BSG 2 is better than many sci-fi shows that have been, but to me didn't do anything groundbreaking apart from showing silence in space when explosions happen. Besides that, all that '6' and Baltar nonsense was sooooooooo tedious.
I loved Star Trek. But then I watched B5....and ST just seemed so full of flaws. The storylines were weak and the characters poor in comparison. One can view the Palestine/Israel/USA situation with different viewpoints when you watch how Londo and G'Kar's confrontation develop. B5 show life as it would be - not idealistic as Star-Trek would have you believe '(no greed towards wealth...only aspirations of bettering oneself ' said J.L.Picard). ST never talks of gravity on the Enterprise!
You have to remember that Star Trek and Babylon 5 are just radically different shows with different outlooks and moral messages. Star Trek is an optimist's dream, it's the dream of a better future, and the moral messages correspond appropriately. Whereas with Babylon 5, it's a more realistic portrayal of the future, and thus has entirely different messages and such. Personally, I love both shows for what they are. :]
@InsurrectionistFungi I totally agree with you! I really hate it when I see fanboyish comments like, "in the formal opinions of the universe, X rules over Y" on these kinds of videos. They just make that particular fanbase look really stupid and immature. I mean, just look at the whole "Twilight" (a series I highly despise in part because of this fanaticism) community.
Exactly! It's perfectly okay for two shows to be on the same level, not everything is better or worse than everything else. Star Trek and BSG, for example, one is set in the distant past, while the other is set multiple centuries in the future, and they have completely different feels and atmospheres, as well as moral messages. They're hardly even comparable, but they excel in different areas and fall in other areas. There's really no point comparing them.
@wtc175 ST doesn't talk abt gravity because ships in ST have inertial dampeners, which slow down/eliminate the effects of gravity when travelling at relativistic speeds. Thats why when they get hit by a torpedo/phaser blast they all fall over. They do talk about IDs. DS9 has also shown aliens that come from planets with different gravities. They do talk about it, just that being set in a highly technological future, it's not a major issue to ppl that have tech to overcome it. ST:E does a lot.
i hope the future generations will not forget the greatest show ever made in the 1900s: stargate sg-1, babylon 5, star trek, battlestar galactica and star wars
@Swordsman808 that might describe well the original Battlestar, which is so much older than Babylon 5 that any comparisson is unfair. Close to Battlestar Reimagined, Babylon 5 looks like a Mexican soap opera.

Greatest space opera TV shows thus far:
- Star Trek
- Babylon 5
- Farscape
- Firefly
Can't say I rate Galactica or Stargate as highly as those.

Nonsense! Babylon 5, Stargate SG-1, Star Trek DS9 (B5- lite), Farscape, Space: Above & Beyond
Firefly always struck me as the sci fi show for people that don't like sci-fi, I thought it was rubbish!
