True.
For all the cringeworthy moments in B5, DS9 had a rod popped up its arse a little too far for it to create anything that worthy.
Zathras, who lived on that planet to which entry was forbidden. The lonesome looking place, under the surface of which was a massive and all powerful machine, which operated when someone plugged their mind into it and unleashed that power against anyone trying to come there with bad intentions.
Say what? Er, please explain.
Lyta is cuter. Point to B5.
DS9 has fighting Kira. And singing Kira. And oh my, especially Mirror Kira.
For me, that’s game, set, and match!
But more seriously, it’s all good – they’re two great sci-fi shows. We’re lucky to have 'em.
I love that “two-handed hammer” fighting move they use on Star Trek in order to look exotic or futuristic. It would be completely useless in real life. With a punch, you can put the momentum of your whole body behind it. With that Star Trek move, you’re basically flailing your forearms at your opponent.
I think Dax was a bit better in the face, but Kira had a fine ass.
I don’t know why you are so sure about that. The creator of B5 didn’t want to pursue a lawsuit so why would they force one over his reluctance?
And what do you mean ‘gotten hold of the B5 info’? We know this information was with Paramount. Obviously we can’t know what they did with that information but I doubt they burned it and wiped their memories. I guess it’s possible when it came time to start DS9 that none of the people that had seen the material or heard of the material were in any way involved in DS9 but I would guess the same people involved in a pitch of one sci-fi show would be involved in the creation of the next.
Well I guess we have different standards. I honestly don’t care if the DS9/B5 thing would hold up in court. I actually think DS9 was a better show then previous Star Treks for the very things it borrowed. It doesn’t change my opinion that there was something vaguely slimey going on.
B5 was pretty cringeworthy at times, I really couldn’t look at the screen for some of its “finer” moments (most of them involving Ivanova or Sheridan IIRC).
But then DS9 was pretty wooden and stilted. There were no frivilous moments like Vir’s wave. It was worth sticking with B5 to be able to remember back to his promise to Mr Morden just at that moment.
You’re going to have to be more specific. Jadzia? Ezri? Curzon?

This thread, like B5, has a Day of the Dead, where the spirits of the long-departed return to pester the living.
