Chicks have no idea about this kind of stuff. However I do remember some pictures floating around the net of a very good looking girl in a stormtrooper outfit.:rofl:

Stargate got really, really silly (read, plastic) in the end.
My fav is a toss up between the original Bab 5 and the new BSG. If you haven't seen In The Beginning from B5, go see it somewhere. Great narrative, great plot.

Actually the book for "In the Beginning" (Babylon 5) was amazing! It has this great speech by Londo , the first is in the film.
"The Humans, I think, knew they were doomed. But where another race would surrender to despair, the Humans fought back with even greater strength. They made the Minbari fight for every inch of space. In my life, I have never seen anything like it. They would weep, they would pray, they would say goodbye to their loved ones, and then throw themselves, without fear or hesitation, at the very face of death itself. Never surrendering. No one who saw them fighting against the inevitable could help but be moved to tears by their courage. Their stubborn nobility. When they ran out of ships, they used guns. When they ran out of guns, they used knives and sticks and bare hands. They were magnificent. I only hope that when it is my time, I may die with half as much dignity as I saw in their eyes at the end. They did this for two years. They never ran out of courage. But in the end, they ran out of time."
And the second one that was only in the book and is being recounted by Londo (Of Sinclair's thoughts and actions), when he realises all is lost on the Battle of the Line and humanity is going to be wiped out. He thinks through the things that would be destroyed and all the joyous things he would never see again.
" The next moment he charged his weapons and accelerated his ship toward the heaviest fighting. Men such as that you see, do not doubt themselves for long. "
God I am such a nerd :rofl:
I can't find it right now but if anyone has it maybe they can post it here.

Great quote I really admire this speech of Londo Mollari in this fiction all the Humans were united fighting for their survival not like NOW KILLING EACH OTHER sometimes we need to take lessons from the Fictions.
Do you have the full episodes I have to get all I mean all the episodes.
Well I love Babylon5 more than you.
That's FINAL

The real battle is not between ourselves, but between those who love Sci Fi and Fantasy and those who think 'Desperate Housewives' is the pinnacle of tv programming, along with mind numbing rubbish like Big Brother and anything with 'Celebrity' in the title. Divide and conquer, and it is we who allow ourselves to be so easily divided who cannot complain when our favourite shows are cancelled due to low ratings. I love B5, but I also love Star Trek (in all it's incarnations, warts and all), Battlestar Galactica (old and new), Dr Who (ditto), Lost (even when nothing happens, but my patience is wearing thin!), Stargate(s), etc. These are representative of what is best about tv, and the soaps and reality shows are 'the enemy'.
You can't fight effectively until you know who you are fighting, and friendly fire is far too common these days...

You are so correct Obi Wan...Presently there is only one Tv program on broadcast Tv I watch regulary. It's called "King of Queens" A half hour comedy.
I don't have Si-Fi channel so I'm stuck with rentals. I refuse to watch "reality" shows. They are not reeality but contrived elaborate game shows. Nothing more. To me most of the stuff on broadcast Tv is crap.
I have never seen a single reality show. Not even "American Idol" And I never will!
