HAHA OMG. That original B5 thing is so awesomely cracktastic. JMS has said he thought it up in the shower once and really it is JUST THAT CRAZY.
Also: I TOLD YOU CATHERINE SAKAI WAS ANNA SHERIDAN. I would have freaking DIED. I would have sobbed and raged.
I love that it's like, "At the end of the series, the station blows up and everyone hates them and they're probably going to die."
The thing I hated MOST about B5 (yes, MOST) was the way that S5 basically laid the seeds for everyone's doom and then LEFT THEM THERE WITHOUT RESOLVING ANYTHING. Fucking sleepers. *hates* So in the original version, I would have hated it just as much.
Although, I must say, I have always had a bit of a desire for one of my shows to have a series finale in which all of the main characters die awesomely and heroically to bring about the resolution to their intergalactic arcs. Is that wrong of me? I either like my finales to be like Star Trek TNG where the idea is "everything will be like it always was and things are great!" or "EVERYTHING IS OVER AND NO ONE HAS TO SUFFER ANYMORE."
