Proof of how small minded some people are...

[En'til'zha]

I found this today, it really does show how small minded some people are. The whole B5/Lotr thing really is ridiculous, I've heard it mentioned before over the years but now where else as comprehensivly as here.

Well, the page does say "Enjoy and don't take it seriously. And if you haven't read LotR yet - Do it... NOW!!!"

BTW, that is the slowest loading page I've ever seen.

En'til'zha.....if a time ever comes to pass that you could chat with poor_zathras...do it!
He is a B5 and a LoTR fan, and convienced me of the similarities in the story baselines. I for one think it is pretty cool! JMS pulls stuff from everywhere and weaves magic!

Disclaimer: while I can see the inspiration behind certain similarities, especially in names, I have never considered B5 and LOTR overtly similar in any way.

That said, the first thing that popped into my head, quite suddenly, when I was watching the fight between Saruman and Gandalf, was

(spoilers for the Technomage trilogy)

<table bgcolor=black><tr><td bgcolor=black><font size=1 color=white>Spoiler:</font></td></tr><tr><td><font size=2 color=black>the fight between Galen and Elizar in Invoking Darkness.</font></td></tr></table>

Heh. Just my mind playing tricks on me, I guess.

It's a shame to see someone do so much work to support a flawed assumption like that.

The only relationship between the two is that both JMS and Tolkein told epic stories.

And ALL Epic stories have the same similarities.

For the truth about what inspired the Story of Babylon 5, do as JMS suggested and read the history of the City of BABYLON.

I am a changed person, I have seen the light. JMS is a fraud after all! Can't you see it, Sinclairs duck was a carbon copy of Bill the pony in the lord of the rings!

Let it be lesson to all the non believers, remember the duck, oh look the nice men in the whit jackets are coming to put me back in my comfy little room with all the padding!

Some people just have way too much time and not enough IQ points!
