    Is it time to go beyond the rim?

    It's pretty impressive that this forum has lasted as long as it has really. It seems to overlap with the jmsnews forum anyway. Maybe you could make your own subreddit or simply migrate over to jmsnews?

    Has There Been Any News Re. The New B5 ~2016+~ Theatrical Movie?

    I was looking to see if Big finish ever addressed Babylon 5. Their official twitter indicates the cost alone would be prohibitive. If they were told the license wasn't available they could have created a campaign to get fans to at least write to WB...

    Thirdspace aliens and "The Hand" connections?

    those were supposedly their emissaries for what that's worth. It was fine on paper but poor on execution. The battle scene was really cringeworthy and lacked logic.

    Thirdspace aliens and "The Hand" connections?

    (Quotes taken from wiki for convenience) THIRDSPACE All we know about Thirdspace is that it "is a parallel universe inhabited by a violent, telepathic alien species even older and more powerful than the Vorlons that is bent on exterminating all life other than their own." "Long ago, the...

    Has There Been Any News Re. The New B5 ~2016+~ Theatrical Movie?

    It's certainly not a coincidence that Joe has left projects due to creative differences. Crusade Jeremiah - actually improved the story by speeding things up Red Mars Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future (World War Z - movies often have multiple writers so this isn't uncommon. but he...

    JMS' Viewing Order

    That actually makes quite a bit of sense. I mean if Thirdspace is moved up for chronological reasons, Deconstruction should be moved back. The only downside is that it's not as epic a series ender as SiL.

    EpDis: The Coming Of Shadows

    Bruce definitely showed more range than O'Hare after it was all said and done. But as you stated, Sinclair had much more gravitas. I think it was partly due to the dialogue that Bruce was given early in season 2 that made him seem a bit goofy. I'm thinking of things like his scene when he...

    Has There Been Any News Re. The New B5 ~2016+~ Theatrical Movie?

    evidence of infighting causing problems? It was spurred by the statement that Big Finish being told that WB wasn't offering licenses at all. Can we please just let this go and move on? Let Joe defend himself if he feels the desire.

    EpDis: The Coming Of Shadows

    this one is close to flawless for me. Seeing sinclair made me realize how much I missed his presence. He wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but he was very real to me in a way Sheridan never quite reached.

    Music Question: "Bar Song" in "Face of the Enemy"

    Re: Music Question: \"Bar Song\" in \"Face of the Enemy\" I always thought it was written by Chris Franke since I don't remember there being any specific credits. But other than the lyrics it's an almost exact copy of that song. I do prefer the B5 version a bit more though. Here's a copy I...

    Is it time to give season 5 another chance?

    For me, Season 5 is mostly a huge miss until Phoenix Rising. I do think that the first half could have improved had Claudia remained and taken Lyta's role in the telepath arc. But the telepaths being portrayed as mostly hippy(can't think of a better description) cultists wasn't really...

    Has There Been Any News Re. The New B5 ~2016+~ Theatrical Movie?

    Joe said: "My understanding is that it is related to WB having many different competing branches. B5 was part of the PTEN branch and the show was produced independently of the WB studio (by Joe & Doug's studio); there is probably no branch in WB left to support it." Which to me doesn't make...
