Slanted Beds

ok somebody(*cough* Phi *cough*) had the audacity to say that the idea of a ship's beds being slanted was something that Babylon 5 invented when clearly it was a DS9 idea. i'm expecting your guy's support on this as DS9 is clearly a better oxygen-filled-chunk-of-metla-floating-in-space style show than Babylon 5

    B5 invented it.
  • Thne how do you explain the slanted beds on the Defiant
  • David of MacDavid of Mac Elite Ranger Ca
    The beds were slanted on the [i]Defiant[/i]? I remember the bunks, but no slants.
  • Rogue TraderRogue Trader Somebody stop him...
    ya there were only the bunks on the defiant. and plus the defiant didnt show up till season 4? (maybe 3) of DS9 long after B5 had done it.

    1. Totaly opinion.

    2. You expect support for previously metioned opinion on a B5 forum site?

    Not trying to flame but you don't quite seem ot have your ducks all in a row.

    If any of the bunks on the Defiant were ever slanted, then they must have been broken or something. Plus, as has been mentioned, the Defiant didn't show up till well after B5 had shown the Minbari using slanted beds.
    It sounds to me like you're just trolling. We arn't too fond of trolls here.

    Umm...those slanted beds were in the infirmary on DS9. POSSIBLY in the medical bay on the Defiant as well.

    At any rate, does it really matter? Its not like they're an original idea anyways. This isn't a penis comparison contest dude. We don't care who did what first. There are those of us that rather enjoyed both series, and we don't need trolls like you stirring the pot.

    DS9 is the one Star Trek series I think is worth buying all of on DVD.

    Slanted [i]medical[/i] beds? Well, that's different.

    They had those all the way back to TOS. They would be fully vertical, and the patient would stand against them, and then Dr. McCoy would push a button or something so the bed would rotate until the patient was flat.

    So, neither B5 nor DS9 invented the idea of slanted beds, if you consider those.

    Especially when you consider the comedic value of the ferengi episodes. :D That one where they go to save "Moogi" from the dominion was hilarious. :laugh: Then theres "Little Green Men". :D
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    I think the tribbles episode was one of the best. It was so incredibly well written and made.

  • :D

    I wish I'd watched that one when the series was still shown here on the local channels. (Oh well, at least Spike TV is airing DS9 again here in the States.:cool: ) That series certainly was a helluva lot better than ST:V-I'm-too-disgusted-to-name-it-at-all.:rolleyes: :p

    Was he the prisoner Vorta or the thick southwestern accent Vorta? I always remembered that one, because it was just so out there. I mean, the first pronounced drawl we hear on Star Trek comes out a race that's supposed to be oily and officious, not a bunch of big-eared cowboys.

    Actually, the second line is

    "We do not discuss it with outsiders!"

    Yeah, well, it's been a while since I've seen any DS9. :)

    You know, it was a real hard to lug it all the way back here to Earth and shove it into my computer, but I got the job done. ;)

    Pays to have allies in Area 51 and the SGC, and to have the financial resources of David Xanatos at my disposal. ;)
