Examples of individuals from races of Babylon 5 and the ships their race used. Set to the song F.E.A.R (I apologise for the audio quality(I'll correct it in the Future if I can)).

Can somebody tell me the name of the race at 3:28?

[JamesTobiasStewart]

@OpeningSalvoe I believe they are called the Vree.

[bakerfrog1]

you should have made te pictures of the diffrent Aliens last a bit longer. other than that great! :)

[JamesTobiasStewart]

@bakerfrog1 Yeah I know I just had to keep it short so it would all fit the song.

[bakerfrog1]

@JamesTobiasStewart thats understandable.

[JamesTobiasStewart]

@bakerfrog1 Thank you.

About the designs. Someone once said that if you were to see something alien, then it would look truly alien. Like nothing you've ever seen before.

What used to annoy me about Star Trek was that every species they ever encountered was humanoid. Where's the imagination in simply putting a false nose, or extra eyebrows or something on an actor?

[Kousaburo]

Dare I say, more than in Star Trek.

@shadowquay It's still the same theme!

[shadowquay]

@KevinEdwardMiah In mass Effect the Mass Relays were made by the Reapers as a trap, it is different than the others you mentioned where the race dissapeared, the reapers want to destroy organic life. The Protheans did not create the technology.

@Jalfmar3 I am a fan of both genres too. I saw JMS say in an interview he didn't hate Star Trek, just that they were in different modes. The only truly negative comment I saw was from Ivanova when she mocked DS9 as a "deep space franchise". As a general point of interest Pat Tallman, who played Lyta Alexander, did a lot of stunt work for Star Trek. Both shows have their strong points and their flaws. The greatest tragedy is that many seem to believe you need to be for either show

B5 have crappy desing of many of aliens but their ships allways look cool.

[name887]

@KevinEdwardMiah Ah yeah I just look it up. I hadn't known that.

[KevinEdwardMiah]

@name887 The other races in the galaxy only reverse engineered them.

[name887]

@KevinEdwardMiah Yeah except the Vorlons and Shadows didn't create the jump gates? Just your basic space-faring government knows how to create one.

@OpeningSalvoe

The race at 3.28 are the Vree

[KevinEdwardMiah]

@KevinEdwardMiah

If you have ever played the Mass Effect series (Video Games), it's the same basic set up. Some ancient all-powerful space faring alien civilization made jump gates or mass relays in Mass Effect, and that alien race went extinct or disappeared mysteriously. You can find this in Star Trek (Iconians), Halo (Forerunners), Starcraft (Xel'Naga). Its a Science Fiction cliche.

@KevinEdwardMiah On that point I agree. You would think that races separated by thousands of light years would develop different styles of FTL travel. At least B5 explained the reason why Hyperspace was the only FTL system around by stating that almost all of the Younger Races found Jumpgates in their home systems, took them apart to study them and developed their own.
