I would seriously dislike it if B5TV shut down, it has been a lonely existence in the past few years since we were forced to shut down B5TECH. I have truely begun to understand the plight of dear old Zathras, rest his soul (Tim Choate rip). I rarely post anymore on B5 anymore but I do still...

If the Lost Tales are Canon, where did the "ISA 1" come from? Sheridan openly stated that it was from Vorlon technology that was "left over". This implies that at some point Humans did get Vorlon tech from either Vorlon Prime or possibly the destroyed listening post or the biggie; that being...

Major Ryan wore the three "pips" of a British Army/marine captain and was presumably on the generals staff as to why he was giving orders on the bridge of a ship with the ships captain deferring to him. It does actually happen in real life. I agree that the rank structure on B5 is chaotic...

This is a repost from a poster on B5Tech.com . James

The most annoying carachter for me was Duece the underworld Human crimelord. James

On two occasions the rank of Admiral was mentioned, one was when Colonel Ari ben Zayn said that the smart money would be on Sinclair making Admiral and the second was when Garibaldi said that Sinclair was way low on the list and it was assumed that some Ambassador, Beaurocrat or Admiral would be...

I am not an elitest or childish by a lot shot, I come across as rough and unpretentious and I state the facts as I see them and I am both reviled by some and praised by others for that character trait. I am a Native American (Cherokee)/caucasian half breed that worked his ass off and made a...

Somewhere I read that they were Clones, maybe babtech on the net or midwinter.com, don't know. This would make sense from several standpoints, the genetics question alone is the greatest obsticle to overcome in a confined genepool. It takes several generations of inbreeding with constant...

I respect most all opinions, but I have my standards and I wont deviate from them for conformity's sake. I don't like the original Galactica, I think that it ia a farcical cartoonish program; but it did have some quality talented actors. Lorne Green (Adama) John Collicos (Baltar) Patrick McNee...

Re: Battlestar Galactica The Greatest Scif show? or Babylon 5 Reveiw of "Escape Velocity" Part 2 Act III: A Stupid Quorum meeting on Colon One. The argument is over a decree limiting the size of Baltar's cult meetings to twelve fools or less. Fruitloop pushes the decree, but the Table Lamp...

Re: Battlestar Galactica The Greatest Scif show? or Babylon 5 Review of “Escape Velocity” Episode 406 Badly written by Jane Espenson Badly directed and I mean badly by EJO Synopsis: teaser; Open with the religious service to commemorate Squeaky. Its a setup scene where we see...

Re: Battlestar Galactica The Greatest Scif show? or Babylon 5 They don't have to show them doing anything, they can perform the searches via dialog. Have you ever watched Das Boot? The only way that you as the watcher knows what is going on outside the sub is by what you hear in the dialog...

Ronald Moore has stated that the Galactica is patterned off a WW2 aircraft carrier, even before the new compartmentation numbering system in 1949; there were NO compartments on a ship that was designated "D" The place had seats and a table, so it shoule de designated 1701-L although there should...

Re: Battlestar Galactica The Greatest Scif show? or Babylon 5 First off, I like the new layout and color of the site. I have been over at B5tech.com for years and we have had this "debate" a lot. I have the same screen name there, and anyone is free to go there and read what I have written. I...

The First Ones ships are pure organic while the Whitestars were Composite. That is metal or non living frame with an organic hull. The Cyloon Radiers are also composite, in that they have a metal hull and frame with an organic innard. The Baseships are the same. The Skinjobs, alternate between...
