I have absolutely no problem with Star Trek at all, I like all the incarnations of it, and I have no problem with you liking it either. I have a problem with you coming on to a B5 video and saying it looks unrealistic, when one of the things B5 is most famous for is its realism (as well as its epic storyline of course).

You are entitled to your opinion of course but you can't go around making patently false comments and not expect a response.

[XCXSNIPER]

yeah we got forums for that kind of things,

but i actually do appreciate, negative comments as well :P more understanding on what peoples like to watch etc,

As i said before, i watched a few episodes of star trek NGE and voyager,

but i still like Babylon 5 more then any other science fiction tv-show. It even challenge my other favourite scifi star wars in storyline and characters,

but thats just my opinion. feel free to post yours as well

@XCXSNIPER Bab5 is Lord the Rings in Space. The epicness is the same.

[XCXSNIPER]

@arveduilastking lol, well the epic attitude to LOTR trilogy "the movies that is" can be argued, but your quite right.

[malarky321]

at the risk of abuse.....B5 is the best sci-fi series ever...if only because it meant the viewer had to wath from the start to put it all together...and when it all came togther...well what needs be said

My favorite season opener

@trakkaton And if you had watched the show, it would have shown that as none of the races are at the same level of technology, how races that are millions of years more advanced have living ships, I said Earth ships for a reason.

If you were to watch the show, you would find the situation with telepaths the same with replicants, they're forced to join an organization and if they don't, either their abilities are suppressed or they're hunted down by psi cops.

@Meyosan

When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.

The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

[Meyosan]

@trakkaton And another person said not to judge a book by its cover. Even if B5 might have technology eclipsed by that time, the overall design of Earth ships in the series shows that we won't have the ability to overcome physics.

@Meyosan

Someone once said that period pictures tell more about the time there where made in than the time they are playing in. Guess that awkward fact is also true when they are playing in the future.

[Meyosan]

@trakkaton Movies with ambiguous storylines doesn't equate to high intellectual levels. For most, including Blade Runner, it is tantamount to laziness on the writers' part when it's a standalone movie.

But, how is it that you can call B5 unreasonable? Is it that you disagree with the series' views on order vs chaos, free will vs authoritarianism, that religion still plays a role in the future? Or is it that you took a superficial glance at the opening?

@SciFiDreamer

DS9 was a copy of B5. JMS pitched the idea to Paramount first and they said no. Years later they tweaked his ideas and concepts for the trek universe. DS9 is one of the best trek programmes but it did steal JMS ideas, he was going to sue Paramount but thought it would be too much hastle.

[Swordsman808]

@SciFiDreamer DS9 had its decent moments, its great moments, and its mediocre moments, so too did B5, but for me B5 was a more engaging and higher quality show in general than DS9 for the discerning sci-fi fan. The philosophical, political, and mythical undertones are unmatched by any other sci-fi show IMO. Superior FX be damned.

[SciFiDreamer]

In agree with you for the most part, but I have to say Deep Space Nine added some of the realism your talking about.

[TheFamilySlitheen]

Babylon 5 was something new, something different, something so revolutionary and groundbreaking that it changed not ony scifi but television as well.

Characters who were flawed, who made mistakes and life changing decisions that would affect those around around them.

Space battles that took place in 3 dimensions are were breathtaking to watch.

Multiple story arcs that merged into each other (Earth/Minbari War, The Shadow War, Telepaths, Earth Civil War)
