Please not another Legend of the Rangers. Please??? I'd really rather watch Enterprise than another Legend of the Rangers.

aw, come on. It wasn't *that* bad. I mean we have so many more examples of how someone can cock up a series - I mean Enterprise is still doing that for us...

Yeah, I barely made it through that one. Maybe they can resurrect Crusade?

There are some interesting ideas in that linked-to thread. "The Marriage of Sinclair"...

JMS let tons of stuff to play with.
The Drakh War, the Telepath war, as mentioned above, and Crusade is still unfinished.
As for Legend of the Rangers... JMS had already done the "Ancient Enemy" story, so I doubt he would do a whole other story with that same device. That just seems a little simplistic for him. I suspect that there was more that he wanted to do there, but didn't get the chance. LOTR felt like there was a lot of interference on the creative level, similar to the first eppisode of Crusade.
If that was the case, then I would be very interested to see what he had planned for LOTR w/o somebody leaning over his shoulder.

I'd suggest an acronym other than LOTR to designate Legend of the Rangers as that particular acronym is currently taken:)
