Talk to me after B5 has had 50 years of different movies/books/series.  :P
As for TAS, a lot of the stories were really good. The animation was laughable, true. But go take a look at some of the names that wrote for it. And if you haven't read them the Star Trek Log books based on it are excellent.
And DS9 >>>> BS5 any day of the week/month/year.

Most of the Trek books are rubbish. Granted, the Diane Duane books with Ensign Horta are excellent.

Yeah, I agree about most of the Trek books being rubbish. But the Star Trek Log books by Alan Dean Foster were good.

This thread is strong in the nerd power.

Im-pressive.   :clap:

Here's nerd power for you:
I noticed that in the TAS picture above, Lt. M'Ress is wearing a red uniform (Operations) but has a science insignia on her badge! And yes fellow nerds, I know there's probably several attempts out there at explaining how that may be possible.  :D

This one took me by surprise...Amazon Prime, Last Flag Flying.



Former Navy Corps medic Richard "Doc" Shepherd (Steve Carell) re-unites with ex-Marines Sal (Bryan Cranston) and Mueller (Laurence Fishburne) because...well, it's best left to the trailer and the movie itself. Very powerful stuff and good to see Steve Carell in such an emotional role.

mirth

Steve Carell is an underrated actor. He was outstanding in The Big Short.

I warn you, if you watch it, be prepared for water works. It brought tears to my eyes several times.
