I loved B5 when it originally aired on Channel 4, and have just started watching it again - after working my way through the whole of DS9, I felt like revisiting it. I hadn't heard about the Lost Tales and look forward to watching those too. I only just learned that they existed, and were developed because JMS didn't want to make a B5 movie as Andreas Katsulas and Richard Biggs both died in recent years - that last part is also news to me, guess I've been out of the loop for a while.

I've not really seen DS9 - I generally can't stand Star Trek (sorry!) - but it sounds as though B5 had a great influence on the way they went with it, introducing longer story arcs and a mysterious dark enemy out in the unknown. Or something like that.

Well, considering that both Richard Biggs (Dr. Stephen Franklin) and Andreas Katsulas (Ambassador G'Kar) died prior to The Lost Tales being filmed, I wouldn't expect it to be up to quite the same standard as normal.

DS9 was the only Trek series I watched religiously. I did try to get into B5, but for the same reasons I dont like the new BSG....it just sucked balls.

I will always watch MASH when it's on, plus I own the entire series and final episode on DVD.
Love Colombo and have season 1 on DVD.
Recently was introduced to Firefly, wish there was more of it.
Watch the original CSI, but not the others.
Don't watch hockey much anymore. Can't stand Versus after growing up with Hockey Night in Canada. Really miss Hockey Day in Canada.

Are the Americans so dumb that they can't see the puck without this system? I don't think so. Hey, versus, stop thinking that the viewers are idiots! (Like by repeating 300 times during the game that we are watching the Game 5 of Western Conference Semi-Finale...)

That's what American TV does best - treats everyone like an idiot, just so the actual idiots don't learn to read and write so that they can write in and complain! (British daytime TV infamously has a similar reputation for brainrot.)

Which is all the more reason why Doctor Who shouldn't be shown so early on Saturday evenings!
