I hear a Stainless Steel Rat movie is finally in the offing.
DS9 was fantastic overall; it was remarkably consistent, even in its first season. I didn't really like the way they ended the Dominion War; it was a bit too convenient- the "nice" Federation gets to pat itself on the back for saving the Founders from genocide committed by the "nasty" Federation. But the fact remains, without that attempt of genocide the Federation would never have won the war.
Babylon 5 was OK. I was never too into it; it was too anthropocentric. It coudn't seem to make up its mind as to whether it was about the history of humans interacting with aliens or whether it was a grand galactic history in which humans only took part. The sudden shift from the multicultural epic of the Shadow War to the parochial crisis of Morgan Clark was not a good move, in my opinion.
