I'm sure I'll get flamed for this, but I would love to see JMS team with David Kemper, the Farscape showrunner, on a project. (Yes I know Rockne O'Bannon wrote the pilot and outlined the show. But he basically handed it over to the team in australia.)
These two shows worked for me for very different reasons. I felt the humor and interpersonal relationships were often very stiff in B5, while Farscape handled them pretty damn well. Farscape just didn't seem to know when they were going overboard with their muppets and storylines, whereas JMS has a better, albeit conservative, sense overall. Farscape also seemed to lead the viewers on and lose sight of where it was going, whereas JMS doesn't suffer from this.
I just get the feeling that something that combined their sensibilities could produce something pretty damn cool. But whether either of them could work in a collaboritave way is another question.
