    Quotes from Season 5

    They're good quotes, but I think some people are missing the point. They need to be short one-liners that sum up a stage in the plot, "There is a hole in your mind"; "No one here is exactly as he appears"; "President Clark sign a decree today declaring martial law.", not huge monologues that...

    What do you want?

    I've wondered the same thing myself. Actually Morden asks the infamous question far less often than you might expect. Only in two episodes, 'Signs and Portents' and 'In the Shadow of Z'hs'dum'. In total he asks "what do you want?" 10 times to my count. Five times to G'kar in S&P, once to Delenn...

    The Centauri got screwed!!!

    You can't really blame Sheridan. He's only the president of the Alliance, a diplomatic organisation. He in himself doesn't have much control over the decisions made by the Alliance. He would have to go along with whatever decision the majority of the Alliance wished to take. Look at the actions...

    Giants playing Chess

    Both the Shadows and the Vorlons manipulate the younger races behind the scenes, very rarely getting involved directly. They much prefer to leave the younger races to get on with things themselves, occasionally nudging them in the right direction. The Shadows and Vorlons only really get...

    Proof of how small minded some people are...

    I found this today, it really does show how small minded some people are. The whole B5/Lotr thing really is ridiculous, I've heard it mentioned before over the years but now where else as comprehensivly as here. http://www.jumpnow.de/b5lotr/b5lotr.php ------------------ "Watch the Shadows...

    paramount stole it .........

    I do not for a moment believe that Into The Fire was anti-climatic. But that's just my opinion. If you want to split hairs though, it wasn't anti-climatic. You might have found it *disappointing*, but that in itself doesn't make it *anti-climatic*. ------------------ "Watch the Shadows, they...

    paramount stole it .........

    What happened to both Sheridan and Sisko is never explained, it is diliberatly left a mystery. As for Sisko's return, I believe this was in the past. Remember what the prophets told him before going into battle- "the end of your journey lies behind you, not ahead of you" and Sisko's line "Maybe...

    paramount stole it .........

    I know that Paramount stole the idea for DS9, but so what? You can't copyright an idea, just the application of it and you have to admit the application of the same idea turned out very different with DS9 and B5. I liked DS9. The only problem I had with it was the ending which was a little...

    The Anti-Sci-Fi (the genre) Mindset

    People are dwelling too much on whether SF is more *real* than other TV shows. It doesn't matter whether or not it is possible, it isn't supposed to be a prediction of the future, it's just a story like any other. The success of SF is based on the fact that it isn't realistic. It changes our...

    B5 Videos *BARGIN!*

    Thank you very much Mr Morden, it seems you have given me exactly what I want. As soon as I read your post i rushed down to the train station and caught a train to Leeds. I was very happy to find the very low prices, the day before I had tried to purchase the HMV compleate season 1 boxed set...

    B5 Videos in the UK

    All B5 videos have been withdrawn in the UK to make way for the DVDs, this seems to inclued Crusade too. I tried to get the boxed set from HMV only to be told that they had been deleted from their computers. Their is one upside to this though, the incredably cheap clearance sale of B5 videos at...

    Channel 4 (UK) - Just what the hell was cut.

    B5 wasn't cut because C4 wanted to aim it at 8-year-olds, they just wanted to beable to fit it into any time slot and don't want to limit themselves to just showing it after 9:00pm. To my mind this is an even worse reason for cutting as it shows the least ammount of respect. Most networks only...
