Trivia:

Tamlyn Tomita did both the pilot for "The Burning Zone" and "Babylon 5" (1994) at the same time. When both pilots were picked up she chose "The Burning Zone" missing out on a four season run with "Babylon 5". She was replaced by Claudia Christian.

TV-show better than either "X-Files", "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" or "Dark Skies"

I met this TV-series in 1996, when it's episode 2, the airport case. A man vomited blood in toilet and deceased before his wife's decease...Then I watched the following BZ episodes...

It's better than X-files as X-files is too mysterious that nobody really knows its ending, but BZ is much more better in telling "every episode"'s ending.

Buffy, from SM Gellar(Buffy Anne Summers), only advertises SM Gellar's attracting body and nothing else...It's vague and stupid. But BZ is much more interesting.

Dark Skies, John (Eric Close) and Kimberly (Megan Ward), only advertise on how John addicts on UFO and it's as cheap as X-files, or even much more cheaper than X-files.

I began to addict into BZ because there isn't too many virus TV-series...the topic, in BZ, is fresh. IT won here. Then, the TV-series is very very interesting, especially when there were Edward Marcase and Kimberly Shiroma...Season 1...!

Season 2 is distinctively lost...when compared.
