so why are you wasting you're time to blast at him... and stop blasting at ST and SW...
and who is to say that your ideas of realism and what is realistic to be the right one...
B5 ST and SW are all fantasy universes create by their creators to show the public there views of the futures that is beyond our own... who cares if there are impossibilities, those are the things that make sci-fi series all around the world great.
from you response it looks like if you've made B5 a "religion" that you believe in so much that u believe everyone else that doesn't see it as you do are wrong, and you have some "divine" reason to make all those who are different believe in the same thing.
"Babylon 5 uses realistic in-species tensions"
tensions based on what we have today, from religious differences to cultural differences.
"out-of-species tensions"
why do alien races like the centauri or the narn or the other races, seem to have the sense of a united race and had moved beyond civil tensions, when only the humans ( maybe even the minbari) are composed of all its diversity that makes it disunited yet great.
"economic realism"
money money money.... always about money
need
I go on
And calling SW and ST idiotic... wut about all those other shows from battlestar galactica to hypernauts, to space above and beyond to wing commander (not the movie but that cartoon series, the games privateer and privateer 2 are based on) each and everyone which had its flaws but all i felt were enjoyable.
You've really done it!... i've never posted a longer reponse than this one before.
