I'm amazing? Heck GM, coming from a person with a 200+ I.Q. I'll take that as a compliment. By the way, do you think that Gideon (Gary Cole) was that attractive?

I was 12. I understand even from the so called statistical post that it is not unusual for children (and I was just about 12 at the time) to test much higher than adult standards. It was thirty years ago. His statistics were founded in the past ten years and do not apply to the same testing standards when I was a child. My Mensa test has me at 185, still high by even the other posts standards.
He or she was saying that Star Trek was a simple minded show and that Star Trek fans were not rocket scientists. Whereas the standard of B5 fan is more intelligent. I'm sorry, it was an insult and I was offended. I responded in kind. Whether anyone else on that board was offended or not is not my concern. Star Trek and B5 are two different shows, thirty years apart. Star Trek was the industry standard for a long time, not Lost in Space or any of the smaller shows that individually never grew to the rabid fandom that Trek and now B5 have. Remember they cancelled Star Trek and we brought it back. Everywhere. And many shows have been appendages of the original Trek. Now I believe B5 has taken over that position on the top of the Sci Fi chart and I have never knocked a B5 fan, nor will I as I love the show too. There is more than enough room for both shows, it is just that certain "fans" will not allow it at least verbally. I would bet they secretly watch it, just won't admit it. LOL
As for being an amazing person you certainly are, many people that post on these boards and others have spent countless hours writing letters, emails, spoken out, and supported a show that yes on the surface appears "dead" (in your words). I personally have written over 14,000 letters to various people and organizations. Even to the point where I have volunteered my spare time (which I don't have much of) to the channel itself in their marketing department to keep an eye on things and to help in any way I could. I have never done this before in my life, but it is important to me "win or lose".
Even the creative breath of the show JMS made it abundantly clear that TNT pulled the plug and did immense damage. Sci Fi Channel has started to look at Crusade from a different perspective and maybe our hard work will help.
The problem is that when you knock the show, you also knock us for our efforts to keep a dream alive. You may not mean to, but that is the final result and possibly why others jump on you so bad. Although I don't believe you care, I think you like the controversy in the thread.
Since IQ numbers mean nothing (what does matter is how one uses his or her intelligence), I was only trying to make the point that I am not stupid and I do enjoy Trek. And I also love B5. My mother was only one that was proud of those numbers. It changed my life big time and I wasn't happy about it at the time. Probably still not but that's my problem.
And yes, I think Gary Cole is one very SEXY man. I also thought Michael O'Hare was knock your socks off sexy too. My top ten surprises a lot of people.
