Hmm, i just started watching Babylon 5 again, i forgot how awsome it was, but i noticed somthing cool, the races in Babylon 5 has similarties to the races in EVE, at least the main ones, consider this
Amarr = Centari Minmatar = Narn Caldari = Humans Gallente = Minbari
I apologise for any incorect spelling, i couldent be bothered finding out if it was right or not, anyone agree they have similar personality traits, obviously not looks --------------------------

Babylon 5 does rock.
I'd say if you were gunna make a direct comparison what you got would work, but I can't imagine the Minbari producing some of the more, er....XXX rated holoreels the Gallente do. Also Jove = Vorlon....maybe

The Centauri-Narn relationship has some similarities with the EvE world, and one can easily see where the Myrmidon design comes from.

Shadows would be represented in EVE by the Enheduanni - "the others" the Jove call them. Except that in EVE, the Enheduanni were here first - all the humans (Jove included) only arrived in recent millenia.
I think it's covered in the chronicles in that story about the Gallente pilot who was involved in rescuing the Minmatar Elders from that Amarr asteroid mining base - Theodicy?

Yea, promoting evolution through conflict
I couldn't help smiling when Sheridan was commanding a fleet and called on his 'heavy cruisers' to distract the enemy fleet while he brought in the capital fleet. The fights in B5 were quite tactical. As opposed to Startrek which was 'fire phasors'
Some of the Earth Force ship names were also familiar, there was the Hyperion, and Nemesis (both gallente for some reason ) you had the Archeon, close in spelling to the Archon and then stretching it a bit, you had the Agamemnon (Armageddon nah.. lol)
They also have the blue shift and red shift, depending on the direction of the jump portals. Just like warp in eve.
Anyway... -------------------------------------------------- The Angels Have the Phone Box |

The Minbari and Humans were at war for a long time, the end of which resulted in the humans building Babylon 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 in the first place.
Originally by: King Listen, lad. I built this kingdom up from nothing. When I started here, all there was was swamp. Other kings said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show 'em. It sank into the swamp. So, I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So, I built a third one. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp, but the fourth one... stayed up! And that's what you're gonna get, lad: the strongest castle in these islands.
Except Babylon 4 was stolen to provide a base of operations for the first war against the Shadows, so they had to build Babylon 5 which ... stayed up! For a while.

Well, if it helps people understand the greater forces at work in the EVE universe, it makes some sense.
And getting to talk about Babylon 5 is always cool ;) Except if people start complaining about fish-tank physics versus "real" physics!

Perhaps, but really the discontinuity between the two seems to be such that valid comparisons are few and far between

Yes i figured as much, but i noticed it seems to be your goal in all your posts in all the threads ive seen you post in, and since not many were paying attention to you i figured id give you the love and attention you were seeking :)
But i do find it strange, do you enjoy posting negative posts in every thread you go into?
I think you may have accidently posted with your main aswell, the name started with "V" but im buggered if i can find it now lol.

B5 owns. And yes, a lot of EVE ships seem to have been inspired by the B5 universe. Though B5 itself takes inspiration from descriptions in various books.
Sci-fi recycles about as much as fantasy.

Edited by: Jmanis Catharg on 07/01/2009 02:12:48 I've tried to convince my girlfriend to watch Babylon 5, but much like most friends I convinced to watch it (and subsequently love it) she's struggling with the first few episodes of season 1.
Any tips?

Raven = Shadows!
Tie her to a chair, tape her eyes open, and play the whole series continuously. Explain that you cannot let her go until she atleast gets through season one. If she gets angry or violent just threaten to make her watch Crusade instead.
She'll either come around eventually...or go insane.
