While you make some good points Joe, but I still totally disagree. If you read publications like Entertainment Weekly they compare television shows to each other all the time, espically Homicide and Law and Order when Homicide started to air. Or when there was three wrestling companies, people compared WWF to WCW to ECW all the time. When I worked for WCW, we didn't rip on customers or reporters that asked us about WWF, even though both companies and different audiences, and we put on a different style of show. That is going to happen when you have a product that serves a nitch market, like wrestling fans or sci-fi fans. Espically when there are not a lot of successful shows to compare B5 too.
They are natural comparisions since B5 was a successful sci-fi show, and so was Star Trek. I can completely understand why JMS would get annoyed.
Now the wars betweens fans is something completely different. That is just silly. But as a fan of both ST and B5, I compare the two all time time.
