I posted this bit of sci-fi humor at a convention some years ago, and it has since made its way to the Internet. Here is the official list...

Top Ten Reasons Why Babylon Five is Better Than Star Trek:

arrow 10. The Doctor does not have a son who saves the station every other episode.
arrow 9. All the cool humans on the space station have hair (well, almost everyone--right, Mister Garibaldi?) and all the cool aliens... don't.
arrow 8. Strong female characters who do not end up in background roles (i.e. communications, counselor, etc.) or become lunch for a Tar Pit with an Attitude.
arrow 7. You get to wear leather with your uniform.
arrow 6. Aliens who don't suffer from the Funny Nose and Forehead Syndrome.
arrow 5. Two words: Harlan Ellison.
arrow 4. The chief security officer loves Warner Brothers cartoons.
arrow 3. Even aliens can have Bad Hair Days.
arrow 2. The uniforms have pockets!

...and the Number One Reason Why Babylon Five is Better Than Star Trek:
arrow 1. Nobody loses their lungs.*

*anyone remember season one of Star Trek Voyager?

Babylon 5 is defiantly not better then Star Trek and a lot of people can totally agree with me. It doesn't matter if they scream lot in the movies or the Tv series, it gives the movie more of a real feel to it like your there handling there situation. Yeah leather is hot, but what they wear is more practical. Well the Aliens that suffer from funny nose and forehead syndrome as you call it means nothing, they are just showing that all the Aliens out there don't have to look all human or like a total monster to eat your brains or something. Hey the Aliens that are in Star Trek have there bad hair days too so dont go there. And it shouldn't matter if the uniforms have pockets because everything hooks onto there belts. If you would like to contact me back about this my actual name is Sangoinuyasha.
