Well, now I've heard it all...was speaking to Walter Koenig tonight,
and he mentioned being at a convention this past weekend, and hearing a
lot of positive B5 comments. Along the way, he overheard a discussion
between a bunch of folk, many of whom were defending TNG and DS9's rather
minimal SFX and smaller cast and other stuff by saying that it wasn't
a fair comparison, "since B5 has a lot more money to spend than TNG or
DS9."

I could've plotzed.....
