<snip I hate you> George A
All I can say is, I think you are on the wrong end of the Babylon 5/SG1 trade, unless your friend really wanted B5 more. B5 is almost the perfect series. I can think of one episode I hated. I'm sure there were others I didn't like (well, I've already thought of another) but so many of them were good or great. And for me, understandable. I liked Farcape, by most of the time I have no clue what is going on.
What season was it, the third, he wrote every episode by himself? For all the praise that's heaped on David R. Kelley, or Sorkin, JMS should be recognized as the best of the best.
What I'm wondering, I hear JMS complaining about the direction the new shows he tried to make were forced to go, too much sex* or other reasons. I know he can't finance 22 episodes of a series, but couldn't he have gotten enough backers that would let him do whatever he wanted? Heck, if he'd had a stock sale, I'd have bought in. Let's see: 22 episodes, 5 mil an episode is 110 mil. 100 dollars per stock, well that's still 1.1 million shares, but I'd have bought one.
Anyway, I couldn't imagine being somewhere, being shown season one, told they were made x years ago, and I can't see season 2-5 for seven more years. I would hate others too. Well, some are on Kaza.....
