[QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [QB] I agree with you wholeheartedly. One of the things I liked about Babylon 5 that I've found lacking in Star Trek is the fact that in B5, the details [i]are[/i] important. Whereas, as I said above, in Trek, the details could almost not matter less. For instance, it matters not a jot to the story of "The Pegasus" if the ship was a [i]Cheyenne[/i] or an [i]Oberth[/i]. Thus, my quibbling over what class it was is equally irrelevent to the story. It just comes down (for me) to the fact that now that I know the story, I look at the tapestry on which it's woven. Yes, the casual viewer won't know what class it was intended to be, and that doesn't matter, as it doesn't affect the story or their understanding of it. Most of the production errors can be skipped over, like the one shot in "Generations" in which the [i]Enterprise[/i]-D is accidentally shown bearing the 71832 registry of the [i]Odyssey[/i] from her recently-filmed DS9 appearance. That sort of thing might (emphasis on might) cause some confusion among casual viewers. Probably not, but maybe. Most will have the brainpower to figure out that it was a production goof and move on. I think we're in agreement about the context here. Our ruminations in no way affect the picture on the tapestry. --Jonah [/QB][/QUOTE]
