Lost, BSG, and the X-Files all fell into the same traps - because they hadn't mapped out the big reveals, but gave the impression that they had, they were left trying to put together a resolution that made sense, without introducing inconsistencies with what was already seen... and inevitably either forgot something important or, more likely, just became absurd.Absolutely... though not a flawless one. I've been rewatching the show over the past few months, and am now in the middle of the final season. And while much of the story is still solid, in retrospect it's quite obvious that certain changes in cast must have dramatically changed the story (mostly the replacement of Sinclair, but also Ivanova's departure). I would very much know how the original story was supposed to play out.(Incidentally, I did once run a Vampire campaign that was heavily influenced by B5, including some big reveals that were set up in the second session but didn't pay off until 5 years (real-time) later. I don't recommend it - that one required a massive amount of work, and by the time we got there the campaign had lost so much steam that we were all just trying to see it through to the end.)</blockquote>
