What're you talking about? Porthos is still awake in this one! Isn't it obvious that it's going to be a completely different story?

So they had an episode called "Drone" about One, and an episode called "One" about a former Drone?
Dang, even Voyager's episode titles were bad. How many were just one word, anyway? These people need some lessons from Farscape and B5...

Well, they could have called "Drone" A Tragedy Of Borg and "One" The Very Long Night Of Everyone But Seven, but somehow I doubt it would've improved the episodes much. B)

Did B5 ever make an episode called "Chasing Shadows"? Or is it some other show?

Off the top of my head, no. I recall The Geometry of Shadows, The Coming of Shadows, and Shadow Dancing, but no episode with "Chasing" in its title...

I'm pretty sure there was just a big hat with "Shadows", "Movements", "Light" and "Darkness" written on pieces of paper inside it, and JMS just picked them at random.
Seriously, B5 had good titles? That's worse more mistaken than any political statement you've ever had.

Andromeda's last cool thing was its long, complex, and very cool episode titles. Shame that they have little to do with the actual episodes anymore.
I think it's a B&B thing that they want to have one-word titles. Personally, I hate it. Whatever happened to titles like "For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky"? Or "The Changing Face of Evil"? Hell, even two-word titles like "Dark Page" or "Yesterday's Enterprise" were cooler than what we've got now...

Everyone passed out from lack of oxygen before they'd finished saying it?
And of course, one word titles is just the latest in a long line of henious crimes that Berman and Braga, and ONLY THEM, have done to Trek. They are evil.
But, (and god knows why I'm doing this), let's actually have a look at the evidence:
Enterprise season 1: 18 titles that are two or more words, with two of those being of the "The something" variety.
Enterprise season 2: 14 titles that are two or more words, with 6 of those being of the "The Something" variety.
So, out of 26 episodes, less than half of both those seasons had one word titles.
Now, let's compare that to two random seasons of TNG:
Season 1: 20 titles that are two or more words, with 6 of those being "The something".
Season 6: 15 titles that are two or more words, with 2 of those being "The something".
So, what have we learned? One, that Trek series seem to use more one word titles as the seasons go on, and 2, Braga had already started his evil one word title policy by season 6 of TNG. He must be stopped.

Andromeda! I knew I was forgetting one. As for B5, Straczynski deserves more credit. "Sleeping in Light", "The Deconstruction of Falling Stars", "And The Rock Cried Out, 'No Hiding Place'", "A Late Delivery From Avalon"... of course, B5 did have a few one-word titles. "Grail" and "Infection" come to mind. OW! MY MIND!!!!
What was "The Changing Face of Evil" from?
