Amen. Some of my favourite Sci-Fi of all time, along with Firefly and B-5.
Jemal, it seems like you and I have very similar taste in our Sci-Fi, because I agree with those 100%.

I almost totally agree, but I have to say that I prefer ST:TNG [POST Dr. Pulaski, of course!] to DS9 most of the time. B-5 is also as good, if not better (sacrilege? possibly) that ST:TNG. But I have yet to see Firefly. :-( I'm not even sure if it's available where I live.

All I can say is "ugh" to that.

B5 is far better from a story perspective. So much better that I can't believe you are even comparing them.

Hulu, baby. Hulu. Or you can order the Complete Series (only 14 episodes, unfortunately) for about $25-30 on Amazon. Well worth it, IMHO.

Yeah, ok. I concede. It's just that some of us OLD farts remember back when StarTrek was the only choice available. And we, therefore, give bonus points to the show for being first and breaking the new ground, because without Star Trek, B5 could not have existed as it did/does.

Hmmm, sounds like a personal problem to me....
>.> Is B5 Babylon five? Never saw that one... just saw a mess of Star Trek's and Firefly... those are the primary sci-fi shows I watched... at least the space-oriented ones...

And I've never seen "Firefly", so we're basically in the same boat. Yes, b5 if "Babylon 5", and I think it is extremely well written, acted, and produced. Highly recommended!
Aye, Babylon 5 is one of the best (if not the best) Sci-fi tv series ever produced. JMS was a master. As for Firefly, also a great sci fi show, though only one season due to the tv producers being douchebags. Though Whedon did manage to get a movie made for it after the fact (A good movie).

JMS is definitely a master. 95% of the B5 episodes were written by him, instead of a collection of writers, so it has an integrity and continuity that most series can't hold up to. And (though the graphics are a bit cheesy by today's standards), B5 was the FIRST show to make 100% use of CGI for all of the ships and space scenes. That's pretty big from a historical perspective, looking at how far that technology has come now.

No, I will post in the affected games, too. Where else could I play an undead warforged ?
EEK! An Undead Warforged? For real? I didn't even know that there was such a thing. "Undead Magical Construct" -- what a concept! If Basher7 falls in my 'Keep on the Shadowfell' game, maybe we can convince Scotley to allow 'him' to be reanimated?
Yes, he was a death-forged, a result of combining the tainted magical energies of the Red Wizards of Thay and the ingenuity of a few depraved Lantanese gnomes...

Yeah. The big thing, though, was that he took the long approach and scripted the entire thing before the pilot. There were broad strokes and what not, but the core was there (and he knew how it ended years before it ended). Sort of presaged some of the long-story forms of Lost, etc., now (yes, I know the Brits did it before. JMS was the first to really do it well in the US).

Sounds like a really fun guy to have at parties! Between him and Rajah..... man you have a tendency to play some off-the-wall characters now and then. I'm just waiting for Xavier to go all psycho on us....
