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.
YUP.
Also: I TOLD YOU CATHERINE SAKAI WAS ANNA SHERIDAN. I would have freaking DIED. I would have sobbed and raged.
You were totally right! I don't think I would've sobbed and raged, because...I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have been watching the series if it showed that plot outline. Ouch.
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."
O HAI, WE'RE MAKING A SPINOFF. PLZ WATCH.
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*
Noooooo! Not the unresolved seeds of doom! (Um, I get the impression that everyone not seen in "Sleeping in Light" has DIED, quite honestly. Which is terribly sad.)
Personally, the thing I hate most at the moment is named BYRON.
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?
Well, i don't know if everyone dies heroically, exactly, but you might like the finale to Forever Knight. Everyone but one vampire dies, or has died in a recent episode. Eeeeeveryone.
That particular finale filled me with ANGST at the time, and were I watching it today, it would probably fill me with RAGE. But to each her own!
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."
Heh heh. I like my finales to be sort of like, "Okay, so we solved the problem/completed the mission/finished our arc, and we're all moving on to the next stage of our lives now. Sorry you the viewer can't come along, but enjoy fanficcing it!" And I prefer that next stage of life not to be "death." :D
