Does having B5 make it fair to have Farscape? FS.
Or any of the Star trek series?

ST:TNG, Star Trek The Next Generation
ST:V, Star Trek Voyager
STSP, Star Trek Deep Space Nine
ST:E, Star Trek Enterprise
ST:TOS, Star Trek The Original Series

Don't ask me why I'm submitting all these. They aren't even THAT related to SEIV.
