DS9 was copied from B5, this is quite well established. Having said that, I'm not sure Jerry Doyle was an alcoholic the whole time. I saw him in person a few years ago and he did look a bit worn. So did Tracy Scoggins, yikes. Stay with the show, it's a masterpiece. |

Except for the last episode. In one single episode they screwed the whole series up horribly just to launch another series that was screwed up horribly. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Quote HistoryQuoted: Watch the TV series, then go back and watch the movies. The movies contain spoilers. I saw it in real time when it was first on and am enjoying seeing it again. The CGI effects were cutting edge for the time, but unfortunately seem cheap nowadays. Love to see it remastered and the effects redone, but with so much CGI, it wouldn’t be cost effective. They did some remastering on ST:TOS, but it was mostly just a cleaned up Enterprise flying through space and some visual effects, and a very small fraction of the work needing to be done for B5. Lots of good stuff, but have to say Expanse is a much better show on a number of levels. B5 has a very interesting storyline and arc, but some of the acting and dialogue seems a bit stilted. Always thought Season 5 was a waste, even though I was aware back then about what happened between seasons 4 and 5. If one wants to cut down on how much you have to binge watch, watch through season 4, except skip the last episode of Season 4 and replace it with the last episode of Season 5. Tried to watch “Crusade”, but never really got into it. |

One of the best sci-fi shows ever. Great dialogue, great character development. I really wish JMS would remaster the show and use modern CGI. It would be really awesome to be able to watch this downstairs on the big plasma with new graphics. |

Warner Brothers probably lost the negatives. They didn't if know they had them when it came time to do the DVDs. Instead they converted PAL into NTSC.

All Babylon 5 fans should read E. E. Doc Smith 'The History of Civilization : The Lensman Series' books, AKA The Lensman Saga volumes 1 and 2.

My set is the 16:9 version. Doesn't look like a crappy tape transfer, and it looks like they cropped 4:3 to 16:9.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Damn Sierra cancelled the B5 game in the late 90s that would have been the best space simulator of it's time. Numerous groups have made freeware games since, the best being one called I've Found Her. JMS was openly talking about a series reboot or continuation a few yrs back, but FF to today, & WB, which owns the TV rights, is sitting on the IP & won't let anyone else touch it, either. |

Just FYI Patricia Tallman (Lyta) is in other things. She's been a stunt woman for a while. She's in Jurassic Park.
At the end of the movie when the T-rex bones fall on Ellie... That's Patricia Tallman. |
