[QUOTE="John Crichton, post: 1551614, member: 4779"] That's good because honestly, I'm a little uninformed. Let me explain... I'll start off by saying I have seen every Joss-produced second of TV and read a fair amount of his comics. As for JMS, I have seen a handful of B5 and read a whole lot of his comics. However, I do know a good deal about B5 even though I never really got into in (I do own the first season on DVD that is sitting around waiting to be given a fair shot). It sounds to me like apples and oranges for what they have both done concerning TV to this point. Joss has put together 12 full seasons of TV shows vs. JMS 5 (let's leave Crusade, Firefly, etc out of this for now). B5 was a complete story, written from the start to have a beginning, middle and end. That is pretty unique. I don't think anyone, including Joss has been able to pull anything like that off in the history of TV. We'll call that a success. Now Joss has helmed 2 shows that have gotten huge followings that have been set in the same universe but have very different feels and fan bases. We'll call that 2 successes. Now by the numbers, the edge for now goes to Joss. But we all know that isn't the whole story. And [i]I[/i] don't know the whole story as I haven't seen nearly enough B5 to form a solid opinion of it. Many folks swear by it. The parts I have seen have either entertained me or left me really flat. But I never watched it from the start so I hold a wait and see attitude towards it. So, in closing, I am a huge Joss Whedon fanboy. Buffy is one of my favorite TV shows of all time and Angel is not far behind. So just chalk it up to my uniformed opinion at this point. It boils down to this: Buffy caught my attention near the end of Season 1 and held it and the half-dozen early episodes of B5 did not. I keep an open mind but have to show my bias. Fair enough? :) [/QUOTE]
