What do they call us?

[Stunning_in_Purple]

I've always called myself a B-Fiver.

[Garibaldi's Hair]

No ... that would be Narn bread.

[phazedout]

How about Pitas (People of Infinite Taste And Sensibility)?

yeeeees, well the only probelm there is we may get mistaken for a form of bread served with Indian meals

You mean that the Jeremiah fans sent no jeremiads to MGM and Showtime?

Maybe we should have sent Babearlon Five teddys to TNT... The Babearlon Crusade could have been the last best hope for the Excalibur!

Next time JMS creates a series or universe, he really needs to pay attention to those little details. There needs to be a cool, catchy name for the fan base, there needs to be a common item that fans can inundate the studio/network with if the show needs a 'show' of fan support (ie; the Tabasco that Roswell fans sent in).

It was his first series, though, so I suppose we can forgive him.

to be or not to B-fiver

Personally I remember reading about the term fiver and not liking it much.

I'd rather be a B-fiver.

But I'd much rather identify as myself (not so sure about the "infinite taste and sensibility," certainly no sense and sensibility, much less pride and prejudice )

Hee! That's a fun one, Radhil.

Maybe we're Babblers?

[OmahaStar]

I haven't heard "Fivers" before, but it makes plenty sense of course. The one name that I have heard is "Babylonians."

Strange. I've been referring to us as Fivers since before the first season ended. It just makes sense.

I've never really seen a nickname for us that I really like but I've always liked this post by JMS:

From: [email protected] (Jms at B5)
Subject: BABYLON 5 PILOT EPISODE ON CFT
To: rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.moderated
Date: 2/3/1994 6:05:00 AM

Most B5 viewers that I've heard from call themselves Fivers, when
they identify themselves as anything other than what they are, people of
infinite taste and sensibility....

jms

I can live with that...

If Star Trek fans are called Trekkies and/or Trekkers, Farscape fans are called 'Scaper, and Serentiy fans are called Browncoats, etc... then what is a Babylon5 fan called?
