“and mine WONT have a weakness like the Death Star’s”

I know, right? I assume you’ve covered your thermal exhaust port with a Wombat-proof louver, which should also keep out pesky proton torpedoes, AND set up a phalanx of auto-cannons plus automatic snaring nets specifically designed to guard the port from nosy enemy fighter-bombers ...

No one put a time limit on it. So your process is sound...it just might take a while.

Only if they were made by Solyndra with their round solar panels for handles.

You just need to throw rocks at a planet.

Too bad the thing didn’t work all that well or often.

TOS phaser was better looking than the little dust-buster TNG had.

Obama already had a ‘world killing weapon’ in his hands, and started implementing it.

And then!!!!!!!.......

Trump happened!!!

Socialism went dead. (Though there are still those who are trying to revive that ‘weapon’, namely, Elizabeth Warren and AOC and Kamala Harris and the whole socialist party led by Nancy Pelosi.

TNG was inferior in every way.
None of the characters were as good as TOS and TNG was way too PC.
The Holo deck was a nice twist though.

B5 beats Trek in just about every way.

Granted the effects haven’t aged well.

Listening to the autobiography of JMS, the CGI was experimental for B5.

I was driving long haul while Babylon 5 was on and missed most of it. I seriously need to get the dvds and watch it.

ST shot it’s last show in 1969. B5 didn’t shoot it’s first until 1994. Effects came a long way between the two shows.

Many of the effects for ST TOS were out there for it’s day. Roddenberry wrote about businesses writing to the show to find out how things were done.
Pneumatic doors weren’t around then. Companies were writing into the show to find out how the doors on the Enterprise opened and closed so smoothly. GR said he hated to admit there was a guy behind the wall operating the doors. :(

B5 was different from any SF show before it. JMS decided he wasn’t going to short the science fiction for the story. All other SF series had made the SF play second fiddle to the story.
Oh, and no kids or robots!
