[QUOTE]Originally posted by Malnurtured Snay: [QB] Mucus, I never claimed Trek to be "perfect." All to often, Star Trek falls into many traps itself. Also, I would hardly consider myself a "deep" Trek fan at all. You should attempt to figure out what the person you're replying to is interested in before you attack them. Good writing? Off the top of my head ... "Sports Night", "Sopranos", "Band of Brothers", "Homicide: Life on the Street", "The Shield." Babylon 5 is utter dreck. Your counter-attack (as flawed as it was, especially since you have not only misjudged my interest, but did not notice that I rarely compared Trek to B5) does nothing to change my opinion of the absolute lousy quality of EVERYTHING to do with that embarassing television show. PS -- dude, I'm sorry you don't care for my opinion on B5. I'm embarassed for your sake for your counter-reply, in which all you did was attack Star Trek, in a way which seemed to me "hey, why do I gotta tuck in my shirt? See, Jimmy over there also has his shirt untucked!" In other words, instead of describing why you think B5 is a good show, you had to attack another to show "hey, B5 is at least as good as this crappy show." And that's fine, if that's what you want to do. [QUOTE]Luckily, the rest of us can enjoy the rich (but slowly being cancelled) TV, that lies outside of ST/SW[/QUOTE]I don't know where this comes from. I assume this comes because you're acting rather ignorant at the moment. [QUOTE]It seriously makes no sense, people who actually read science fiction have no difficulty expressing appreciation for more than one SF author. [/QUOTE]I see. I should have said, "Well, I think Babylon 5 is shit in every way I judge a work of drama, but it's science-fiction, so instead of judging it subjectively, I'll just decide to classify it as good?" Bullshit. I don't give a flying fuck if you're offended by my opinion, but you telling people that they have to give "thumbs up" to television shows or books or whatever simply because they're science-fiction is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard (and I've read most of Omega's posts). To educate you as to me: I don't watch much Sci-Fi. I don't READ much sci-fi. The only Sci-Fi shows I care greatly for are Deep Space Nine and Highlander. When I watch TV (rarely, because I go to school and work 60+ hours a week), I usually do not watch science-fiction programs. When I read for recreation, I generally do not read science-fiction books. I don't dislike B5 because it isn't Star Trek or Star Wars. I dislike B5 as a television show because it fails in every regard: writing, production, acting. If Timelordy had said "oh, why couldn't TNG have been more like Voyager" my response would have looked very fucking similar. He mentioned B5 and that pissed me off -- sorry, B5? Good? Yeah, and so is having your foot sawed off with a rusty spoon. Good stuff, they go together. Add Voyager and you're set to kill yourself with that rusty spoon. So, now that your rant has been completely taken-the-fuck-apart, feel free to respond. And remember, when you assume, you make an ass out of you. :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
