I always wondered if Boxleitner was trying to overact as some kind of tribute to Shatner.


Yes

He has his moments on both ends of the acting spectrum. Sometimes really solid and convincing, other times, ehhhhhh.

Loved B5, way more than DS9. Worth a watch for sure. I wasn't a fan of the ranger spinoff series.

Show wouldn't be what it is without those two

No. It was pitched as a Star Trek series, originally. There are hard feelings (good chance Paramount ripped B5's creator off).


Yeah that shite was shady, DS9 exists solely because B5 was pitched as a Star Trek story and they were like no that won't work. Then turned around and made it without him. JMS gave Paramount and all the studios he presented the project to what he called a bible of information detailing the entire story arc. They really screwed him over with DS9 when they beat him to the punch and everyone thought B5 was the ripoff.
