It always bugged me that it took this long for Earth to forbid travel to/from B5. They'd already seceded from Earth and fired on Earth Force ships; you don't normally get to do that and maintain freedom of travel, even when dealing with a non-authoritarian government. It's a little weird but not co...

The Federation-Cardassian War was before the start of TNG. The war started before TNG, but the peace treaty was concluded during TNG's run (and post-Wolf 359). As such it's certainly plausible that the Federation might have been especially generous to the Cardassians in the treaty so as to keep the...

On a purely shallow note, Venita Wolf (Yeoman Ross) may just be the most beautiful woman to ever appear in a Star Trek series.

The other thing, of course, is having a politician confessing something on-air and that damaging his political career, rather than his supporters just disregarding it and supporting that person anyway. Ah, the innocence of the 1990s. Did the recording even really damage Clark's support? He was subs...

The situation for Insurrection was....contrived to say the least. First in that Admiral showing with just a puny Venutre scoutship, his orders might have had more clout behind them if he had a Lakoda refit Excelsior or a Galaxy class. Then there's the whole thing with the Federation citizens in TNG...

I disagree that Musante is dumb or thinks Sheridan is. Her demeanor seems to indicate "yes, I know that this is B.S., but I am perfectly fine with it and if you know what is good for you, you will be too." Agreed. When Sheridan asked her when all these positive changes happened on Earth, and Musant...

The EA controls 2,000 worlds? Okay, that's interesting... but in 14 solar systems, really? That seems a bit weird... more of the "sci-fi writers have no sense of scale thing," I'm thinking. Then again, it could be propaganda by the government, and we know Clark is a very short-sighted kind of dicta...

Rewatching Babylon 5 recently and the difference is night and day: DS9 is Babylon 5 lite. An inferior copy. Mona Lisa with a moustache. Look at Franklin's drug problem, Garibaldi's brainwashing, G'kar's eye, Londo's dodgy deals. Things happen and they matter in B5. Was Babylon 5 really any better a...

The biggest dropped plot on DS9 really was Bajor. After the refusal to join The Federation and signing the non-aggression pact with the Dominion, they stopped mattering. :( Yeah, it wasn't even clear if they were in the war or not after Sacrifice of Angels. That episode has Bajoran deputies shootin...
