[QUOTE]Originally posted by Balaam Xumucane: [QB] Hey, don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to condemn the show or anything. I just remember thinking how cool that whole thing with the foreshadowing of Sheridan's death and his plummet into fate was. I remember that it resonated pretty strongly when I watched it. I guess understanding why exactly it did seem so familiar makes it kind of disappointing. I had assumed this was all stuff JMS had come up with on his own, and that he was therefore my hero. I mean sure there's only so many plots, but, well, the whole Khazad-d�m / Z'ha'dum thing just cheapened it. Made it seem less like an homage and more like plagiarism. B5 is still a great yarn. So epic, and vivid. I love it dearly, but perhaps today I love it a little less. Kind of like when you find out that Noah wasn't the only guy building an Ark to survive a flood. [/QB][/QUOTE]
