Star trek fans are shitting the bed when they are beaten and bruised. The fact that you have to take shots at the king instead of fixing your own fucked up series is really embarrassing.
>>
>>218643220
In the actual video, he says that B5 is good, but it is diminishing to it to constantly attach it's legacy to the lie that DS9 ripped it off.
And he's right, if the first thing people say about your series is a lie that Star Trek ripped it off, the legacy of B5 becomes a trivia fact about Star Trek.

This only happens in your head. B5 fans don't even think about you.

Mallfags not beating the mentally stunted allegations.

>>218643412
I'm only reporting what the actual argument of the video is. I have no opinion one way or the other, I haven't seen B5. You can go argue with the video if you want. Apparently JMS keeps bringing it up.
>>
Babylon 5 is good for like half a season and complete utter non sense for the rest.
>>
>>218643554
>I haven't seen B5
So go watch it faggot.
>>
>>218643643
And Truck Stop Nine is good for just one character. Who, by the way, did nothing wrong. So suck it.
>>
>>218642619
I just finished B5 the other night and goddamn it the thing lived up to the hype. Of course I skipped about 15 first season episodes and only seen 1 episode of the last season (the finale) but what a show
>>
>>218643966
>one character
>Londo and G'kar
That's two characters.
>>
>>218643643
This is dishonest. From about midway season 2 to the end of season 4 it’s the greatest sci fi show ever

I like both shows, but there's certainly evidence DS9 ripped off B5.
Not that big of a deal. It just means we got two good shows, instead of one.

There is nothing wrong with the first season and you are missing out on a lot. The last half of season 5 is good too and has some important stuff. You should go back and watch it just skip to after the psycorp shit finishes the rest is good.

No reason to, the false fanboy hatred of either show is silly. It's just direction brain retards who have to fight about everything. Both shows are worthy of praise for different reasons. I love B5 more but I would watch rewatch either in a heartbeat over 99% of what has been made in the last 20 years.

Psi-corp is cool, dime store fabio on the other hand is an abomination.

Don't even think about him. But Psi-corp is amazing just because of Bester.

Basically this. Watched both, enjoyed both. I feel like each brings their own enjoyment.
>>
I just marathoned a shit ton of Babylon 5 and have liked it, but got to season 5 and suddenly don't give a shit about finishing it. Is this normal?
>>
>>218645177
Pretty much. Season 5 particuarly the telepath arc is consideredthe weakest part of the show.
>>
Things good about Babylon 5:
-Zathras
-G'Kar
-Londo
-Cartagia
-The Psi-Corps
-Sheridan

That's it.

I was going to list Lyta Alexander and Talia Winters, but then I never got to see them naked and I'm still butthurt about it.
>>
>>218645177
Make sure to watch "Sleeping in Light" then yeah, you're pretty much set.
>>
>>218645275
Only because executive interference didn't allow enough time for the storyline.
>>
>>218645177
If you're the guy that was making b5 threads talking about it we warned you multiple times that the first half of season 5 should be skipped. Get past the fabio psi fag stuff and it's good again.
>>
>>218645382
Just having those characters that look like escape from twin mountain rejects get introduced drained my will to continue
>>218645405
I am not, but I'll probably just watch it in the background at a slower pace
>>
>>218645452
I mean Escape to Witch Mountain.
>>
>>218645452
>he doesn't know why the final season is bad
Do some research fag.
>>
>>218643343
This. Honestly it put me off watching B5 for years because of how obnoxious the fans are. They won't shut up about DS9 sometimes. It sucks because it's a great show
>>
>>218645177
Yea it’s normal and you are a normal healthy human being, I wouldn’t worry about it
>>
>>218645589
And yet b5 fans keep to themselves and every time they make a thread about b5 a couple of star trek fags show up and shitpost all over it. You can fuck right off to hell with that gaslighting bullshit. We don't even think about ds9 until you fucks show up and ruin the vibe.
>>
>>218645177
yes, the telepath stuff in S5 is hot garbage. there are some kino episodes still but they're not related to any of that shit. the problem was they got told the show was ending after season 4, so they condensed some storylines to wrap it up, then they said actually we'll greenlight a S5 and they'd eaten a lot of episodes that should have been there. then a maid threw a bunch of scripts in the trash (seriously) and they had to scramble to rewrite them with no reference.

power through and then the series finale is 11/10 kino.
>>
>>218642619
Bruh. JMS literally brought his script to Paramount and they rejected it, only for Paramount to come up with their own space station show when Star Trek had always been about mobile space ships. The story beats are also almost the same. If you ever watched any BTS about Star Trek PRODUCTION (vs actors/sfx etc), you'll quickly find everyone involved from Gene downwards were assholes and shylocks with absolutely no morals. Here's one example: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZRWWmDheEU&t=3418s&pp=ygUYc2hvdXQhIHN0dWRpb3Mgc3RhciB0cmVr

After watching that, do you still think Star Trek producers didn't steal from JMS?
>>
>>218645529
My idea of research for a show is hearing enough good will to justify watching it and then stopping if I don't like it.
>>
>>218645837
I hope a black man rapes you in the shower.
>>
>>218645874
I don't see how you plan to get into my shower, but I'm not interested
>>
>>218645833
Sorry chud there is no video evidence of the CEO of CBS admitting on camera that he personally stole the ideas so that means it couldn't possibly have happened behind closed doors. Please ignore the fact that production companies had a long history of doing just that and there was a huge rework of how shows were greenlit just to keep it from happening in the future.

analfist knows better though. Pretty funny how he was so asshurt about Witcher being a Elric (which sucks) ripoff but this doesn't count.
>>
>>218646124
Everything is a ripoff. There's nothing original.
All stories have been done hundreds if not thousands of years ago.
>>
>>218646132
This is standard practice with studios too.
>>
>>218646210
I think there's a difference from two stories being "the hero's journey" or whatever and two stories having major similarities after holding on to the other's script for a year. So would any judge or lawyer probably. You could always put it in really vague terms and say it doesn't count though
>>
>>218643716
There are no gay characters in the show. He would not enjoy it
>>
Fact is, JMS shopped a space station show to Paramount and they turned it down. Then he started working on bringing B5 to filming and suddenly, out of fucking nowhere, for the first and only time in the IP’s history, Star Trek decided to do a show based on a space station and not a ship.
Maybe it’s not a rip off but the timing is super suspicious n’est ce pas?
>>
>>218645773
calm down
>>
>>218646210
Show me where the story of the Guy Pierce movie ‘Memento’ was done hundreds of years ago then.
>>
>>218643554
>Apparently JMS keeps bringing it up.
when
>>
>>218646729
Not to anyone with a brain. It's an obvious move if they're going to have two Star Trek shows running at once.
>>
>>218646787
>he thinks the concept of a man losing his memories and doing things over again was invented 20 years ago
>>
>>218646729
Only to someone with a brain. NPCs will just eat up shit and not ask questions.
>>
>>218645833
>After watching that, do you still think Star Trek producers didn't steal from JMS?
I don't care.
>>
>>218646848
And before the Kurtzman era destroyed the Star Trek IP, how many other times did they have 2 or more shows running simultaneously?
>>
>>218645837
Based remember to ignore things that feel shilled
>>
>>218647871
During the 90s they almost always had two shows running at the same time.

I always thought DS9 was a copy of B5, but if someone who speaks French thinks so I am inclined to disagree.
The French are crepey

Kek on the (unintended?) pun.

>>218648554
Life's a joke so you need to make one

You know why women wear make-up and perfume?
Because they are ugly and they smell bad
>>
>>218646729
It's way more than just a space station. DS9 ripped off character names like Dukat. Ripped off having a small, tough ship turning the tide with the defiant being a knockoff White Star. Ripped off the commander being turned into a religious icon. Ripped off the secretive advanced aliens infiltrating and influencing Earth's leaders. And more. It's so blatant, it's ridiculous.
>>
>>218649995
I mean you're joking right? Havin a giggle?
>>
>>218646132

Wasn't Elric a sickly nerd descended from dragons who evolved into humanoids and rules over an evil empire? While Geralt was a human who was unfortunately destined to become a Witcher and subjected to tortuous mutations and experiments, trained to be a weapon and taught magic to fight against monsters in order to protect humans?

I don't know much about the Elric books, but the Elric guy and Geralt share some superficial similarities, usually in looks, but they are quite different.
>>
>>218652768
Yeah that whole thing is silly especially when there are tons of actual Elric ripoffs out there that nobody talks about.
