One of my faves from first-season G'Kar: "The humans have an expression, 'keep your friends close and your enemies closer.' I believe they stole it from us."

I usually try to avoid the episodes written by Larry DiTillo. His episodes didn't seem to work well with me on a character-level, plot-level or idea-level. They felt very much like ho-hum episodes that wouldn't be out of place in the episodic 80s television paradigm. Babylon 5 was striving for a...

One of my favorites considering his eventual role in the events of the series:

One of the great things about Babylon 5 is that all the characters, at one time or another, make rash decisions based on emotion rather than rationality. If you have to give a free pass to any one character than you have to give one to all of them. From Sheridan to Londo, no one is without guilt...

That's precisely what JMS was going for in "All Alone in the Night" with Sheridan's dream and the "man in between." He states as much in Volume 3 of the scriptbooks (one of the few I was fortunate enough to snag). The "man in between," according to JMS, is Sheridan in the moments caught between...

I wouldn't mind an anthology series, ,like TLT, set on Babylon 5 in the years between "Objects at Rest" and SiL. Rather than a heavily arched show, this would be about the smaller, personnel stories of this city in space. The characters from B5 could turn up once in a while, but it wouldn't...

For us poor souls, who weren't able to buy the entire script set, could someone please provide a synopsis of the original outline?

While I did enjoy ItB, I've never thought that it should be viewed before "The Gathering." For me, the movie is best viewed after the fourth-season episode "Atonement." Of the movies, I think it's the most ambitious and epic; although, some of the meetings I do find a bit of stretch. Then...

Jeffery Sinclair. He was introspective, filled with self-doubt but still did what he felt was right and I tend to gravitate to those kinds of characters.

My favorite stand-alone episode of the five-year run.

You're welcome, Kosh.

The bridge set (and most of the other sets) was dismantled shortly after the original series ended it's first-run production in 1969. Rumors had that pieces of the bridge set had been given to UCLA, but alas there's been nothing. At least two of the three constructed Captain's chairs survived...

Thanks.

Cool. But where do you send the pics?

I may be able to do Chula Vista since my parents live in East Chula Vista near Southwestern College, but I may not be able to get to it for a month until my next visit.
