This special edition of Anomaly features an interview that was conducted over Skype by Oren from All Things Trek. Thank you, Oren, for sharing your episode. Representing Anomaly’s “Trek fan co-hosts” were myself, Angela, Sue and Sarah. Oren asked us a variety of questions like what our favorite episodes are, our thoughts on a new Star Trek series and much more. Note: I did say the interview “uncut and unedited” at the start of our episode, but because the show was almost two hours in length, I did remove their intro music and an addendum about Sarah’s idea for an Star Trek Alien. After the interview, she remarked that her idea would involve an alien android hybrid.

“Anomaly” by Rick Moyer
Hey Ladies,
I love your show. Unfortunately, I must correct you on one point. At about 15 minutes into the podcast someone said that ST: DS9 was doing something new with story archs going from episode to episode. DS9 copies that from Babylon 5. Everything good about DS9 was stolen from Babylon 5 (i.e. story archs, CGI instead of minis, the idea of a space station series). The reason why the non-episodic nature of DS9 started in season 3 was because ST saw how B5 was kicking their butts in awesome story telling.
Literally, everything you ladies say that you love about ST:DS9 comes straight out of Babylon 5. You really should give that show a watch. You might just discover that you are true Babylon 5 fans after all.

Please ignore/delete my previous comment as I totally forgot you had covered B5 in previous episodes. Sorry about that.
Dale
LOL, no problem Dale! Thanks for posting! You’re right, they totally ripped off B5. But I think both shows are great. I think that comment came from Oren and i think he was simply referring to the differences between the Star Trek series…not necessarily that they were breaking any ground. :) Thank you for commenting, though! Hope to hear from you again.
