Oh, and for my contribution to the thread:
DS9. Worf playing baseball. Others: “Hey batter batter!”, worf: “DEATH TO THE OPPOSITION!”
Er, sorry for the triple post, but I meant to say “from late season 1 through the end of the fourth season”, rather than the end of season 2.
The first season was largely written by a bunch of different writers, in a largely episodic format. And there’s some cheesy stuff in there, “TKO”, the boxing one, may be the worst (fighting it out with “infection”, perhaps). However, there are also some good ones. For instance, “Confessions and Lamentations” sets you up to expect a very star trek ending, and you end up with the furthest thing from it.
The bulk of the rest of the series was written by one man, the creator, who largely translated the story with the depth of a novel into several season of a TV show with a conherent story line. It was a pioneer in many ways.
You stole mine!
Also good: “He did a little too much LDS in the 60s.”
Who knew Spock was a Mormon? 
See, I’m a nice guy.
I didn’t diss your show, just said I didn’t like it.
Didn’t mention that I tried to watch it again, and they had a bald Garibaldi (Sisko?) and a bearded (weeny beard) new captain. (Sisko?)
So.
Wawnna see how fast I can PO a B5 fan?
A drunken security guy. One thing they didn’t steal from DS9. ^ :dubious: ^
I’m certainly not a B5 fan, but a stronger case can be made for DS9 ripping off B5. The creator of B5 pitched the idea to Paramount before DS9 was on the air or even talked about in the press. Paramount turned the idea down, saying that they didn’t want to have two space shows on the air at the same time.
The creator of B5 says that he doesn’t think that DS9 ripped him off, but I’ve read the breakdown of the time lines, and it sure seems highly possible to me that Paramount did rip him off. YMMV.
Doesn’t bother me any. I didn’t intend to knock trek, but rather, praise B5. In retrospect, it did seem like a bash trek. Not that I wouldn’t bash trek, but that wasn’t my intent in this case.
By the way, I wouldn’t try to pass any accusations of “stealing” towards B5. A few years before B5 started, it was pitched to Paramount. As the show was outlined and planned before it ever was made, the creator of the show left the series outline/Bible with the people at Paramount at their request to look over. They turned it down, but then decided to make DS9, which has a lot of similiarities. Space station (first time for trek), outside a valuable transportation node (jump gate/wormhole), centered on the station for the first few seasons, but then branching out with use of a ship (defiant, white star), and it was the first trek series to try to integrate story arcs into it, and other similarities that I can’t remember, but I’m sure are available with a google search. DS9 pretty clearly ripped off elements from B5.
Glad you guys got your stories straight. :rolleyes:
And you’re peeing on my thread!
Go start your own “Favorite B5 Lines”.
I promise not to diss it. 
Someone should spin off a thread of Worf quotes.
“Congratulations, you have achieved full dilation of 10 cm. You may now give birth.” - to Keiko O’Brien
“If winning is not important, then, Commander, why keep score?” - to Will Riker
Garak: Mr Worf, you’re no fun at all.
Worf: Good.
I do not smirk. But if I did, this would be a good opportunity.
Near supernatural? Did they not have good fiction before the last decade or so, or something?
Spocks speech where he refers to the mirror-universe people as the “very flowers of humanity”.
The scene where this Klingon challanges Quark to a dual in front of Gowron and the High Council, and he says “Go on, kill me. And you can tell your children about the glorious battle where you killed a Ferengi half your size.”
“We look for things. Things to make us go.”
What?
Your childhood impression was lacking in nuance. The actual message is the very opposite of meaningless.
His final declaration didn’t have anything to do with giving a “nyah, nyah, nyah nyah, nyah” to his captor; it was about him trying to salvage his broken mind. He was saying it to himself.
Data, in response to being asked to identify Aldebran whiskey by smell: “It is… It is… It is green.”
Thanks, dude.
“I shall endeavor to perform adequately.” - Data
“Perhaps hunger will induce you to try again later.” – Data to Spot
“Doctor gave me a pill! I grew a new kidney!” – Extra Old Lady - IV
“I’m a doctor, not a database.” – The Doctor
Nah, his hunted look as he stands at his Ready Room window at the end of the Best of Both Worlds, pt II.
It’s been all down hill ever sence. (God, I sound like a TOS-er)
“Jean-Luc, you simply must stop killing my lovers !”
Scotty at he helm:
Yeah, I remember that proverb. It’s Russian.
