That makes it... what? The fifth or sixth time that a TV station is rebroadcasting the entire series from start to finish in the past two years?
Anyways, if you're serious about "Star Trek" at all, then you have my personal guarantee that you will LOVE "Babylon 5."
Starting Monday, March 11 @ 7:00 PM on the Sci-Fi Channel.

In tiny, tiny type, if I knew offhand how to make type tiny, the following: "Yeah, if you can take the dialogue and not have your brain leak through your ears."

Oh, come on, the dialogue's not that bad. If you mute the TV whenever Sheridan or Marcus Cole are onscreen anyway.
------------------ "I rather strongly disagree, even if I share the love of Dick. Speaking of which, that would be the most embarrasing .sig quote ever, so never use it."
For soon, if the reruns of this and other high quality TV such as when Hot Dog Vendors Attack Part IX, continue to catch your fancy, you rund a grave risk my friend. A risk that is that of you being dumbed down to the level of us current peons, and thusly making us less intimidated in your presence.
(If one disriegards the Gigantic Penis, of course.)

YES! THE BEGINNINGS OF A B5 VERSUS STAR TREK ARGUMENT!
*Trumpets Flare* A William Kieths Soundalike: "The King, of the castle that is on a hill which the King owns. The Castle, not the hill. Although he does own the hill as well, mind you. This King, in all his glory has called for the ultimate soldiers to defend his kingdom in this, the battle of all battles, which is to say it is the penultimate. Penultimate as in more than ultimate.
He requests the attention of the only honorable people who are able to stem the tide of the insidious agents of logic, clarity and the misunderstood - yet apparently evil - proper grammatical function!
These people are known as:
The FANBOYS!
*trumpets flare*
Here come they, the illiterate, over-emotional and societal rejects, that will argue until free of breath, food, light and cleanliness until the age-old question, that is on the minds of every single human being ever in the history of the world ever, even Jesus, although the show about the Expedition through the Stars and the other show about a pseudo-Exepedition through the stars and basement CGI weren't around during the reign of the Lord and King. He still wondered about it.
So, young fanboys, pass on your wisdom and trite discontentment at the doings of the powers that be, to all future generations, so they may live in peace, harmony, and continue the pointless, useless and official badge of loserdom, the battle of the syndicated sixty minute long extra-terra drama shows.
Begone.

Sorry, but B5 was cool for about 4 episodes (and that's only because we got them before the US. HA!).
And Star Trek has never been cool.

"Babylon 5" was (and still is) everything that "Deep Space Nine" aspired to be, but was not. A galactic war that actually affected people. The deaths or other rather nasty ends of characters that MATTERED, and weren't just thrown in because the actress wanted to leave. *COUGH*DAX*COUGH* The story arcs were actually connected, and didn't fall apart in the last few episodes.
Sure there were some problems -- Londo's accent, for one. But I'll take Londo vs. G'Kar or Garibaldi vs. Bester over Sisko vs. Dukat any day.
Alfred Bester... now there's one of my favorite topics. Alfred Bester is THE most EVIL character in science fiction. He beats out even the old classics like Darth Vader... precisely because he doesn't SEEM so evil... until you sit in a room with him for a few minutes. He's so casually smug, so superior (Homo superior, that is). He thinks nothing of using the "mundanes" like toys, and tossing them aside when he's done.
"Babylon 5" is everything I wish "Star Trek" was, and so much more. I won't go into all of it here, I'd bore you.

Minutae: Enclose the i's with square brackets, not angled ones. The angled ones work for underlining and being bold.
And if Bester's Homo superior, would that make him a mutant?

And isn't the dialogue just superer atrocious? Darkstar could write better dialogue.

And what's wrong with Londo's accent? So you guys're gonna have to accept that there exist people in the Universe who don't have American accents - let's call them, for simplicity's sake, "people you haven't bombed yet."

Of course, having just watched "The Fall of..." er...is is Centauri Prime or the Centauri Republic? Either way, that distinction no longer applies.
