Lisa Fary's earliest influences are Princess Leia, Rainbow Bright, Astronaut Barbie, and her 6th grade teacher, Ms. Palmer. She's angry that it's 2011 and she still doesn't have a hovercraft, but will accept a jetpack as consolation. That jetpack had better be pink with a rhinestone monogram. 6 Comments

Is it possible to write anything about B5 without talking about how much better it is than Star Trek in just about any way imaginable? For that matter, would it be possible for me to point out that, yes, labor disputes have been taken up in the DS9 episode “Bar Association”, without the reply that that doesn’t count because DS9 totally ripped off B5 because JMS said so?
Sorry, but I tend to have this reaction when someone spends the first paragraph of a B5 episode review talking about how ST didn’t cover this topic and if it did the ep would completely suck. It only reinforces my belief that B5 is nothing more than Star Trek for people who don’t want to be known as Trekkies.
I think this is the first time I’ve mentioned Trek, so I’ve say yes, it is possible.
This also isn’t necessarily a value judgement. The shows present totally different versions of the future – this compares one aspect of that. Although, it is snarky.
It’s important to maintain a sense of humor about the things we love.
And yes. I”m a Trekkie, too.
You managed to slog your way through the worst episodes of the series… Now on to the good stuff! Keep the reviews coming, I’m enjoying them immensely.
Why is it whenever I say “trekkie,” you get correct me and say “trekker?”
Don’t make me report you to the International Federation of Trekkers – they might end up revoking your membership!
OK, fair enough. BTW, I came here via a link to “The Mayor of San Diego on the Comicon” post, which I totally agree on.
The IFT seems like a reasonable and accepting group. I think they’re more likely to do an intervention.
Eric – Glad you’re enjoying them! It’s been a battle of wills so far. . .
