[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] Oh god no, don't start with that. [QUOTE] Because the vision is different between the shows. TOS was about believability, believability, research, science-fiction writers. How would a real naval captain behave, that was the question? [/QUOTE]The hard core believability, believability of children who shake their hands and make magic things appear? The believability of having gods walking around? The believability of there being 50 billion planets which have evolved almost "just like Earth"? The believability of the Captain, First Office and CMO hurling themselves into unnecessary danger week after week? Sorry, but TOS was as much about "Ooh, look! Magical floating thingie" as TNG was, and had a good dose of the "humans are a lot better now than they used to be". Or did you ignore all the dialogue in "Tomorrow is Yesterday"? [QUOTE] One could argue that one could've made interesting stories in the old format likewise, but that's a creative choice, a kind of risk that Babylon 5 is taking all the time. JMS loves to set up seemingly simplistic stories and then turn everything upside down precisely by putting together the little background details that were never meant to be seen closely. And then if you go back and rewatch the original episodes, you can see the clues that led to the drastic shift. [/QUOTE]You keep talking about B5 is the present tense; "a kind of rish that B5 is taking all the time". You do know that it finished half a decade ago? And you do know that the final season was really, really, really shit? [/QB][/QUOTE]
