->''"Well, the media really went forward, they really bet on it, they reeeeeeally thought that [[ComicBook/TheDeathOfSuperman DC Comics was gonna kill off its biggest moneymaker.]] Yeah, sure, and I also believe in the tooth fairy; and I also believe that if you're in a 747 at thirty thousand feet, you're gonna hit a pig."''

->''The best thing about '''Series/BabylonFive''' was that it could be a total bastard sometimes. Beloved characters died unfair deaths (who remembers [[spoiler: Marcus Cole]]? I do), UnrequitedLove often stayed that way (Lennier and Delenn, anyone?), good was not always rewarded, and evil sometimes [[KarmaHoudini went unpunished]]. That’s why the end of “Z’ha’dum” worked so well — I honestly believed that JMS was fully capable of allowing his protagonist to become a grease spot at the bottom of a crater, even with two years left in the vaunted five-year plan. Compare that cliffhanger to '''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'''’s “The Best Of Both Worlds”: sure, Picard had been Borgerized, and it sucked, but I never believed for one minute that the writers would let him stay that way, because it would shake up the series too much. '''Babylon 5''', on the other hand, had already had so many they’re-not-allowed-to-do-that-are-they? moments that Sheridan’s untimely death seemed like a very real possibility, whereas we never thought Picard was really in jeopardy.

-> '''Chester A. Bum''': I knew it, you didn't have the balls!\\

->''I mean, you didn't really think we'd kill off [[spoiler: Brian]], did you? Jesus, we'd have to be fucking high."

->"So, as the Plot Hole gets bigger -- both literally and metaphorically -- the critics watch as their doom comes closer." ''(clip of the critics reminiscing about their first reviews)'' "Oh yeah, I'm [[SarcasmMode totally]] convinced they're not gonna make it. [[WebVideo/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses Channel Awesome]] will fire all of them in one swoop just for shits and giggles, and yet they stilll show up to shoot their finales at the same time. Onward, poorly deceiving soldiers."
