    startrek also had copy and paste episodes, cardboard characters, overused technobabble.

    Dont get me wrong i like trek for the simple reason you can watch any episode and enjoy it. But it falls short by a long mile in the overlying story department.

    Bablyon 5 had no real reliance on technobabble, flashy effects and it had a solid cast. The only thing i have against it is there are very few episodes that can be watched as a once off. But i am willing to sit through an entire series as a marathon viewing purely for the story arc which is superb. (ask my flatmates i did it for series 1-5 mmmmmm dvd boxed edition)

    all well and good but main deflector dishes cant be beaten, i mean they do everything. "captain, theres the borg" "use the main deflector dish", "captain, the holograms have come to life and are taking over the ship!" "use the main deflector dish"

    cant be beaten.... its even better then the force

    Got to agree the cgi in b5 was great and frankly much better than star treks efforts at the time untill Ds9 third season they also had better race development Earth/narn haveing to buy/steal technology from the centarie (sp?) in order to catch up stuff like that .....

    Was a good show.
