Frakes from TNG.  Ugh!  What a waste of prime airtime!  I guess I was just expecting too much wall to wall sci-fi goodness from them.  I haven't had cable TV in five years and I feel like I haven't missed out on any good Sci-Fi becuase there isn't any out there on cable or network TV other than B5 and ST:TOS reruns.  Now with DVD I don't need networks to watch those shows.  The thing that made Babylon 5 the best sci-fi show ever put to screen is the thing that may make it hard to get into...the long storylines.   I'm so tired of Star Trek and the recycled drek that the franchise churns out and they way they write it.  "Next week, another episode that rehashes another storyline from TOS and has nothing to do with the events of this epislode!"  Blah!   Actually the entire Star Trek franchise seems quite sad when I compare it to B5 except the last few seasons of Deep Space 9, which took the long story idea "from" B5 and did good things with it.  The war with the Founders and whatnot.   That wasn't bad.   Enterprise I guess is trying to do that this season.  But the highpoints of Enterprise so far have been T'Pal's decontamination scenes, not a good sign for a sci-fi show unless it's supposed to be about hot Vulcan chicks.  Sci-Fi is in a sad state these days.  And with our ever decreasing attention spans maybe it's done for good barring the show that panders to the LCD.</blockquote>
