    Does any tv series / book saga / movie saga achieve B5's plot structure?

    I too love B5 for its commitment to one planned out arc – it allowed for one of the most epic and ambitious stories on television. But I’d also like to add a criticism to that praise. Because of its pre-planned nature, upon re-watching the series there are points where you feel that events...

    B5:TLT -- just the news. And we mean that.

    You could order TLT from play.com, an UK based internet store. Delivery is free and if the disc gets lost in the mail, the risk falls to them. One simple email and they'll send it again.

    B5:TLT - Show Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    Vintari living on Minbar with Sheridan and family could lead to Vintari and David becoming close friends. Young Dictator guy and Guy with a Drakh Keeper, there's a lot of potential there. In any case, the b5 universe at present has too many unresolved cliffhangers - (if expanded upon) Vintaris...

    B5:TLT - Show Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    Jms wrote for Twilight Zone? I´m embarrassed to say I did not know that. I wasn´t familliar with the business side of things, but already guessed this was a very slim possibility. It sucks, since I can only imagine a couple of TLT dvd´s, if it even gets to that. Still, if we get stories in...

    German R2 TV-movies dvd boxset

    So there is no waying of knowing which version I'll get after ordering a UK edition of the Gathering?! That's just..... odd.

    B5:TLT - Show Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    And yet, in my opinion, TLT doesn't hold a candle to those great episodes :p. The 'problem' with TLT isn't that it's mostly talk - the problem is that B5 already did that better. Still, I'd love to see more. In any case TLT is just a taste of what new B5 could be like. The more I think about it...

    German R2 TV-movies dvd boxset

    Thank you Chilli. The R1 set isn't an option since I don't have the hardware. A shame the directors cut is not included on the german set. However, I'm thinking about getting this set and seperately buy the UK R2 version of the Gathering (which is the dc). That should set me back 35 euros...

    B5:TLT - Show Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    I made an error in phrasing with my dna analogy. What I really was getting at is: If you are a human being and if you are alive - you have a soul that is connected to your body. Jade Jaguar actually worded my thoughts more coherently: "a being with human DNA has a soul" more eloquently...

    B5:TLT - Show Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    I forgot to mention this in my previous post: you have proved me wrong on this point. However, this does not affect the remainder of my argument. I have never said the triluminary detects Minbari souls. I have stated it is a device that transforms DNA. If you believe in the existence of a...

    B5:TLT - Show Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    Well, that kinda was my point. I am not saying the soul is something that can be quantified, because it can't be. There is no proof of the soul. That is where faith comes in. All religions agree: where there is living human DNA, there is a human soul. You can't have one without the other. By...

    B5:TLT - Show Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    Do we actually know the triluminary detects DNA? Is there proof within the episodes that tell us this? Not to my knowledge (but I could be wrong). To me recollections, these are the facts: Sinclair uses the triluminary to become a Minbari. To accomplish this, it changes his DNA; Delenn uses...

    German R2 TV-movies dvd boxset

    Thanks A_M_Swallow. So if someone who owns this set can tell me if it begins with the arrest of a drug smuggler, that would answer my question beautifully.

    German R2 TV-movies dvd boxset

    I've got a question on the german R2 TV movie boxset, found here Can anyone who owns this boxset tell me if the included version of the Gathering is the original version or the directors cut? So far I've been able to find out the following, but I can't find any information about the pilot. The...

    B5:TLT - Show Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    I felt the same watching the first story. The camerawork was really distracting. Instead of watching the characters and being engrossed in them, I was like: 'hey look, the camera has tilted 90 degrees and is now moving sideways across his face '. The camerawork reminded me of Joss Whedon, but he...

    B5:TLT - Show Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

    Garibaldi is in there. Number One and Dr. Hobbes were never primary characters featured in the episodes' credit sequence. Out of the human characters, we are missing Lyta, Zack and Ivanova. One might argue that Ivanova is the most important character out of those three, since she has been there...
