Very well put, and so much more. Babylon 5, as Joe put it, was about choices, consequences, and responsibility for those choices, it is about one person making a difference in the world or universe. It is about challenging fascism, bringing worlds together in common cause, it is about hope in the face of greatest darkness, justice, sacrifice, fairness, and the fact us humans aren't the be all and end all of all the beings. If you read the Principles of the Alliance, you would be blown away by the truth's contained within. B5 has been described as holographic storytelling, and man, each show was better than the next, with revelations, hard choices, and turning things on their head. There are allusions to the bible, mythology, King Arthur, so much else. Shakespeare too. Each show advanced the story, which came out of one person's head, Joe Straczynski's.. the Great Maker.. Classic Trek was great, all the rest were Star Drek, with boring, passionless stories, all tied up neatly at the end. None of them can even come close to the story of G'Kar and Londo, never mind the Shadow War, and for my money, Babylon 5 stands head and shoulders above the rest. Yes, I think Firefly had promise, but against 5 seasons, it is only a promise, not fulfilled, sadly. JMS is my hero and I am a B5er forever.

Well said.

Just to prove that I am the bigger Trekkie :) I wonder if anyone guessed my name "Calhoun" was actually obtained from the Star Trek Spinoff series of books "Star Trek New Frontier"? Captain Mac Calhoun! One Tough Hombre! hehe
I dont think the series went real long but I enjoyed them.

Love Trek (well - except Enterprise)...but I have to agree with above...love Firefly/Serenity even more...I think I know why you like DS9 the most though of the trek series - it's a lot more gritty and "real" like Firefly. The others were more sanitized. Those ships would have passed Serenity right by - but Mal might have actually docked for a good heist on DS9, bribed Quark, wooed Jadzia and brawled with Worf.
And I'd have to add I do love Buffy and Angel more than Trek...but it's still really high on my list.
What can I say - I'm Joss's bitca (as Xander would say!) all the way!!

I'm not sure it would be that interesting. It'd probably go something like this:
1)Simon says something dumb so Kaylee flirts with another doctor: Bashir
2)Quark gets bribed
3)Jake goes aboard Serenity and tries to get Inaara to "service" him
4)Mal, Jayne, and Zoey find whatever it is they're stealing
5)River comicly distracts Odo while the heist goes on
6)Worf beats up Mal while Jayne and Zoey give Quark his share and make for the ship
7)Zoey comes back and shoots Worf
8)Serenity escapes but Jake is still on board
9)While Mal gets treated by Simon it is revealed that Jake is on board
a)Jayne points out that at least the aren't married, Mal gets mad
b)Kaylee points that he is cute, Simon seems confused
10)Bashir heals Worf
11)Worf, wanting revenge tries to wring the information out of Quark, but he is unsuccessful and Quark talks circles around him until Sisko shows who has just realized that Jake is gone and Sisko immediately scares the crap out of Quark and gets the information
12)Defiant chases down Serenity
13)Its revealed that the stolen goods are Alliance/Cardassian
14)Sisko lets the ship go commenting that officially it'll be said that the ship got away
Denoument:
15)Jake is returned
16)Kaylee and Simon make up and have sex on the engine room floor
17)Inaara makes Mal mad by saying that Jake probably would have performed better in bed than he could

"We'll pass through it soon enough."
That would be so awesome.
