Wonderful show and series of made-for-TV-movies about a bunch of
aliens plunked down in California and other places and made to try to
assimilate into modern US society. Great metaphor for racial tensions, as
well as superb sci-fi in general.
Best-known for its sweeping five-year preplanned story arc and its special
effects, personally I think its characters and writing deserve just as
much credit. Also superb sci-fi in the sense of exploring possibilities
and making one think.
Well, this is the Official homepage for the show. It also has some
great discussions of issues and so on by the show's creator, J. Michael
Straczynski. And pictures. Lots of pictures.
Scans of the posters originally sent to stations to sell the pilot,
back in 1991, with the text of the precis and sketches of the original
conception of the main characters. Hilarious to current fans.
A nifty site with info about the alien races, animals, planets, etc
that are shown on the show. Really classy-looking, too. Unfortunately, it's
'off the air' now.
A page about the two tribble episodes: TOS's 'The Trouble With
Tribbles' and DS9's time-travel episode, which intercut shots of Dax,
O'Brien, Bashir and others into the original series' footage. Stills from
the episodes and technical commentary are available.
Production errors, continuity errors - if you want to see how people
screwed up and it got past the editors and onto the air, this is the page
for you.
