I loved the fact that there was a story that had a beginning and ending with actual character development.

I'm a massive Trekkie but B5 is still my favourite and will be until the day I die. Best. Show. EVER!!

The problem they had with pitching a show was nobody believed it could be done on a budget, they were saying traditional effects initially and doing that on a budget tends to turn out bad and turns viewers away and that is why nobody would back it It took until Ron Thornton came on board and suggested CGI and put together the test reel for the PTEN pitch that anything happened

B5 is one of the best writen shows in sci fi tv and all tv for that matter. better than any of the star trek series and better than the star wars prequels by a mile.

Sounds like an interesting show, but, without Klingons, how are we supposed to believe it's real?

If that was a joke, that was very clever. If it wasn't, all I can say is that as a First Generation Trek Fan, I enjoyed this show more with each viewing as I would re-reading a well-written novel. If it's not your thing, no problem.

Yes, I was trying to be funny, but it really did bother me, as I bought into the Star Trek universe so fully. By the way, have you heard the Missionlog, a Roddenberry Star Trek Podcast? A must for Trek fans.It's on iTunes and other places.

No I'm not familiar with "Missionlog," but if I can access it without iTunes I might give it a look-at. Why were you bothered by the idea of pitching high-profile aliens that aren't big, hairy and don't yell "K'Pleh!"? For the record, I was more impressed with Klingons after Next Generation and Deep Space Nine than I was with them as 2-dimensional villains in The Original Series. Incidentally, after Majel Barrett-Roddenberry made a guest appearance on B5, she had nothing but praise for the series! Also, Dorothy Fontana was a writer for the series as well as Peter David who wrote a ton of Trek novels, novelizations and comic books/graphic novels. I stand shoulder-to-shoulder with them by saying that there's room for more than one SFTV show in this country like there were more SFTV shows that lasted more than 5 years in the UK (Doctor Who anyone?)

Missionlog has a website where you can get all their TOS podcasts, which they finished up a couple of weeks ago. They just started the animated series for 11 weeks, and then it's on to TNG and DSN et al. It's produced by Rod Roddenberry and has frequent shows with interviews from cast and crew, too, along with the dissection and discussion of each episode. I never got into Babylon5, not knocking it, just never watched.
