awepittance Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 start with enterprise Do not do this, watch Babylon 5 instead. instead? why not watch both? Deep space nine did copy B5, but at the same time B5 was heavily influenced by TREk tng. scifi people are funny with their team loyalty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest abusivegeorge Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I must confess that I edited Deepex' post, sorry. Yes I think watching both is a good idea, I just can't seem to stand Star Trek, and that doesn't mean to say I don't think its good, I think was problem was being forced to watch it non stop as a child, and then finally when I got old enough to make my own decisions I watched Babylon 5 and was like "fuck star trek".

beneboi Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 the cool thing about babylon 5 is that it was all preplanned and the entire story for the show was decided on before they started filming, all 5 or whatever seasons. pretty cool, and it made following it a bit more rewarding, i think.

Yea it made the whole story a bit more concrete, it also influenced an awesome PC game called Freespace which I bought and played at the time of my Babylon 5 phase.

awepittance Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 i think one thing that separates Trek from Babylon 5 the most is the fact that 5 is more of a continuing story with more focus on character alliances and politics. Star trek has continuing story arcs resembling that but more often than not each episode is dedicated to a new science fiction concept enabling a drama to take place within it. besides B5 being in space and with aliens i wouldn't really even consider it science fiction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest abusivegeorge Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Thats like saying you wouldn't even consider Ghostbusters a Sci-Fi. But yeah I do agree with you, B5 is far more political and in-depth, sometimes its hard to keep track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
