[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mucus: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [qb]You keep talking about B5 is the present tense; "a kind of rish (sic.) 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]I'm not sure if that helps your point, I mean if ST can't keep up with a show that finished half a decade ago, how can it possibly be taking us where "no one has gone before"? Obviously it isn't taking creative risks which is especially sad given your second point... Wheras ST has no major financial limitations on what it can bring to the screen, B5 was at risk of being cancelled at the end of its fourth season. Thats why all major plot lines were accelerated and essentially completed with the end of the fourth season. (Note the conspicuous lack of a fourth season cliffhanger and the prescence of a "reverse retrospective" for lack of a better word) I consider it a miracle that the fifth season of B5 was as good as it was given that JMS had to scratch around for material to fill a whole season when he was dealling with a "finished" story. As for risk-taking, note that in that very season there was a whole episode, enjoyable mind you, that flipped everything around and looked at the Psi Corps in a favourable light. In ST terms (given that ST has at least four times as much material), that would be like spending four episodes trying to convince the audience that the Borg are right....and partially succeeding.
