    I realized the same about DS9 when it went on reruns on SPIKE.  They basically copied B5 episode for episode but a season or two later.  They did eventually get more seasons in the end, but only because Stranzinsky had scripted teh series to end with Sheridan being President.  He wanted to quit after that, but Turner Television bought the rights and talked him into another season AND a spin-off, both of which flopped because Stranzisky was basically flying by the seat of his pants and not from a major script with scheduled major events like he did for Seasons 1-4.

    I had heard or read somewhere that Straczynski (I checked the spelling on the Warner Bros. site) had the story plotted out for seven seasons and that season 4 (the last season I saw) was supposed to be the mid-point.  That is apparently wrong, because only 5 seasons got made and I’m sure he could have gotten two more made if he chose to.  Anyway, there is some good stuff on the Warner Bros. website, for what it’s worth. http://www2.warnerbros.com/babylon5/home.html.  Also, found this fan site.  http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/lurker.html  Enjoy!

    which ships were the coolest?  i still think the american-membarii-vorlon technology ship that went into the 3rd movie i think was the most badass.

    i hated the drasi ships and the circular flying disc ships used by another alien race.  they just sucked.  i think i liked the humans the best, their ships just looked like a ship should.  not all fancy.

    The Shadow vessels were by far the bad asses.  Who’s not intimidated by a huge black spider that can destroy a planet.

    Strength wise, the Shadowships were best.  Appearance wise, I think it’s a toss up between the Narn and the White Stars.

  • I would vote for the ancients that hung around…  A big spider scary yes, a giant tiki head that glows when it transmits communications, Awesome!

    If you didn’t know about the ancients, that might make you think you’ve been using too many stims.
