Babylon 5

[Darth K'Trava]

Nevertheless, DS9 is a better follow-up to previous Star Trek series (TOS and TNG) than the ones that came after it (under the leadership of producer Brannon Braga).

And I'm pretty sure that you can owe that, especially the last season or so of story arcs, to the influence of B5.

I liked the later DS9 seasons; much better than some of the earlier ones.

The last season or the latter seasons when they took up the lengthy Dominion Threat/War arc?

Actually, I like the earlier seasons, when Sisko and Kira were at odds with each other. But yeah, unlike the two later spinoffs, the shows get progressively better (although Enterprise fourth and final season made up for the three previous seasons' lackluster performance).

I really, really wanted to like Enterprise but as soon as the first episode aired and they completely screwed up contact between Klingons and Humans and then Romulans and Humans I was off.

I was soooooo looking forward to them doing the Romulan vs. Human War where they are using nuclear weapons in Earth's orbit.

Uh, guys? This thread is about Babylon 5, that other sci-fi show with the space station... Can we keep the Star Trek out of it - or at a mimimum keep the Star Trek only so much as it applies to the original post?

You could just use the split thread feature and peel the ST stuff off to its own discussion.

It might be partially B5 influence, it also might be the producers. DS9 largely hit its stride when Ira Steven Behr finally took over as Executive Producer, around the middle of Season 3. He also didn't stubbornly stick with plotlines that didn't work; if they weren't working out, he dumped them.

Will there be more B5 spin-offs? For a show that did well (and three seasons longer than TOS), you would think the franchise would roll out more series, but each of the spin-off got cut tragically short. I don't know why since I'm not a cable subscriber, so I've been hearing about network meddling with the development.

Is JMS done with B5 TV? What about a B5 film?

He is planning on doing more of those Lost Tales DVD's but that's about it for now. There's supposed to come at least two more of them.

I wanted to chime in on Crusade. I was really hopeful for the show, but the music score was appalling. Up until that point, I hadn't realized how much the music behind a show affected my enjoyment. Still, the premise was good and I imagine it would have fared better had it been shown in the proper order. =P

Incidentally, I'm hoping that these work out and provide incentive for other folks to try this distribution route.
