Favorite Ivonova - No boom today, boom tomorrow, always a boom tomorrow.

Favorite overall came from De'Len - There is only one human captain that has destroyed a Mimbare vessel. HE is behind me, you are in front of me, make your decision.

Second place in overall favorite line is a massive tie - everything Garibaldi ever said.

Tons of great lines, great show. Sadly it seems to have had no effect on the course of SF.

I too think it is sad that it doesn't seem to have had any great impact on the intellegence of most SF. One thing that really helped B5 is that the fellow who came up with the concept (sorry, I can't remember his name at the moment) had pretty much the entire run scripted out from the very beginning. He knew exactly where he was going with the series and how it would end before he even started the first episode. Hell of a vision IMO, and extremely well written, with real characters, treachery, redemption, death, destruction and ideals.

To get back to the topic of this thread for a second though, I think the only thing that could save StarTrek would be to shift forward in time past Picard and crew and have a new menace that kicks the federation's ass and forces them to fight for those lofty ideals they go on about without having the fab facilities to build a new starship every time a captain decides to destroy it. The worst thing about the federation is that they have nothing really to strive against. This is they prime reason they are so bland.
