DS9 >>>>>>>>>>> Babylon 5 (at least after 1 season of B5)

Posted by Beaker (aka anniebecca) Jul 12 '17, 12:15

I like the setup, but man, the main Commander is not a good actor. I assume the change in season 2 can only lead to it being better...

Responses:

Look up the biography of the actor who played the commander in S1 and then feel bad about what you said! -- nm - Mop Jul 12, 13:22 1
- Yeah, Remlik touched on it. But he is right. They were introing and finding their way in season 1. -- nm - Spawn Jul 12, 13:23
season 1 was basicsally an introduction of the B5 characters. seasons 2-4 are the big story. -- nm - peglegpete Jul 12, 13:10 1
- And that is the point. Every episode is a chapter in the book. -- nm - Spawn Jul 12, 13:22
Comparing S1 of DS9 to S1 of Babylon 5 is a fool's errand as both were very weak. - Mop Jul 12, 12:51 1
- Agreed, but I give the nod to DS-9 (since it lost the next few seasons). -- nm - Spawn Jul 12, 12:52
duh. Though Bab 5 got a lot stronger in season 2. -- nm - Remlik Jul 12, 12:22 9
- Yeah, each year (until the final) B5 pulled further and further ahead of DS-9. -- nm - Spawn Jul 12, 12:23 8
  - HAHAHAHAHAHA! that's adorable. -- nm - Remlik Jul 12, 12:24 7
    - It is true. Berman had DS-9 meander about while JMS had the entire series plotted out ahead of time. - Spawn Jul 12, 12:29 6
      - nah Berman had nothing to do really with DS9 that was all Ira Behr had a tight and focused show about people living on the front line... - Remlik Jul 12, 12:33 5
        
        Like always, you are forgetting to deduct points for Ferengis. With the exception of the Cardassians, the show suffered from it's alien races. - Spawn Jul 12, 12:38 4
        
        nah...they got both right. The Ferengi were rescued as a race on DS9...much better than the Centuari (who weren't Londo or Vir) - Remlik Jul 12, 12:56 3
        
        I look at it this way, B5 made me cry. DS9 did not. -- nm - Spawn Jul 12, 12:58 2
        
        it made you cry because of what Bab 5 could have been. DS9 took you on that journey and did it. -- nm - Remlik Jul 12, 13:07 1
        
        No. DS-9 was like middle school while B5 was grad school. -- nm - Spawn Jul 12, 13:20
Wait for it. Bruce is a breath of fresh air. - Spawn Jul 12, 12:21 3
- no I knew of the change -- nm - Beaker Jul 12, 12:22 2
  - There are reasons, as well. -- nm - Spawn Jul 12, 12:24 1
    - actor Micheal O'hare was having very serious emotional and mental issues at the time -- nm - Remlik Jul 12, 12:26
