: : S'true. Straczynski had a meeting at Paramount to pitch his show and they stole major ideas and plot points from him. Rushed the thing into production so as to arrive on tv the same season as B5, but they could never catch up to his storyline. Ah well, if you're going to steal, why not steal from the best. Roddenberry did it all the time, but he had the courtesy to engage SF writers and pay them for the theft.
