    Babylon 5 Disrespected

    Did any of you UKer's see Channel 4's Sci-Fi zone Sunday (23rd) afternoon ?
    After the episode of Stargate the presenter Steve Jones asked some numpty or other how he rated the episode from 1-10 with ten being Star Wars & one being Babylon 5. WHAT... I shouted at the telly. Given this is the channel that showed B5 how could they let that tw*t(not I) say that. I would like to see some suitably terse emails sent to Channel 4 (especially their afternoon T4 collection) about this from us loyal fans.

      Is it possible that they meant for number one to be best?

        It seems to me that any comment by a Steve Jones is completely futile and irrelevant...

          He probably said it just to get people to send e-mails in anger. Could it be...
          Recently, there was a reckoning. It occurred on November 4, 2014 across the United States. Voters, recognizing the failures of the current leadership and fearing their unchecked abuses of power, elected another party as the new majority. This is a first step toward preventing more damage and undoing some of the damage already done. Hopefully, this is as much as will be required.

            I didn't see the show, but if I had to judge it from what I have read here, I think this Steve Jones meant it ironic or wanted to anger people because he knows that b5 is actually that great. I mean Star Wars...everybody knows that it has become rather bad since the new films...and I have never been a fan of the old ones either.

                  Well I don't live in the UK but for me Babylon 5 has always been disrespected wether it be on the TV or in magazines and especially by tv networks TNT I am looking in your direction.Ah lets see the failed novel series that seemed to end after book 9 in the novels by DelRay but then there are the trilogy books and then nothing .but of course if they ever come about there's the Mongoose line .And oh yes that B5 computer game another failure for B5 .I could go on and on so is B5 disrespected hell yes I'd say.

                    channel 4

                    I myself will be sending a rant to channel 4. I also think he had a cheek to say that as B5 was shown on channel 4 , however channel 4 also kept screwing up the times for B5 like it does to most of its programmes so from one week to the next you dont know where you are.

                    I must admit that channel 4 has started to really get on my nerves over the years and to have drips like Steve Jones (who unfortunately is Welsh and really lets the side down) presenting just goes to prove channel 4 is now absolute cr*p. I have personally decided that channel 5 is much better as they dont need to bitch like channel 4 does. I am going to email that to channel 4 now as i know they hate channel 5 , I hope this will annoy them sufficiently.

                      The people who diss B5 haven't got a clue what they are talking about in my opinion.

                      And lets face it - who cares anyway!

                      We know B5 is the best, and that is what matters.

                            Let them have their opinions. JMS is/was the first one to say that B5 or his style isn't to everybody's taste and I can certainly see that it wouldn't be. And yes, the more I see the show, the more nits I can pick but that dismisses the point. The show made us think and it made us feel and it helped us form communities. Not bad for one TV show, I'd say.

                            The only thing that bothers me is when people don't like something, they automatically start calling JMS a 'hack'. What's wrong with just not liking something, why do they have to tear down the person who created the work?

                            Or...to paraphrase Delenn (considerably more succinctly)..."They're wrong, of course."

                              Could anyone e-mail me a copy of the page so I can read it?
