Keanu barada nikto? Oh please, somebody tell me this is a gag. (Because otherwise I'm probably going to.) Regards, Joe

Kirk is in his mid-30s in season one, say 34 or 35. Checkov is a ensign, new to the Enterprise but not necessarily just out of the Academy in season 2. (An officer in the U.S. Navy can remain an ensign for several years before winning promotion to Lieutenant, Junior Grade.) A typical...

Then my work here is done. :) Joe

Well, here's the math. :) Somebody has way too much time on his hands... Regards, Joe

The Wookies were originally conceived as non-technological forest-dwellers, taller Ewoks, when Lucas wrote the first draft of Star Wars - the 700 page version that tried to squeeze the entire story into one film. When he took what amounted to the second act of that script and rewrote it as a...

I think your memory is playing tricks on you. :) There was never any argument about WHV advertising TLT in obviously SF friendly venues like the ST:TOS reruns. WHV has similarly advertised previous B5 DVD releases. The argument was specifically that if only WB (or rather, Del Rey) had...

Well, the link thing was evidently news to you, so I'll let it slide. ;) Besides, anyone who finds it "easier" to type out all that crap instead of clicking on an icon and simply pasting the URL from the target page into the space provided clearly deserves to have some slack cut. ;)...

As far as I know the basic opening of the script was always the same as the final episode. Neither was changed to reflect the change in broadcast order because nobody knew that the broadcast order was going to be changed until long after the ep was not only written, but shot and edited. The...

Sure. After I explain the internet to him, and what a forum is, and what Babylon 5 is, I'm sure he'll get quite a kick out of it. :D (The man turns 81 in November, he still talks about "taping" things with his TiVo, and has never so much as touched a computer. I think I'll pass. :D)...

Thanks for all the kind wishes for my dad. He's doing very well, looked much better yesterday than he did a week ago, and is delighted that he at least get out of bed on his own now and use the facilities. :) Tomorrow they get him up on his feet and start the real therapy. They've been...

And I do appreciate it. :) Sorry, have been a little distracted of late. In the past few weeks my dad has suffered: A broken wrist and bruised leg (fall) Another fall, two weeks later, no apparent injury. (He then spent 30 minutes on his recumbant exercise bike, which is where he was...

"Monopoly supplier"? You can order The Lost Tales from dozens of on-line retailers including Walmart.com and Bestbuy.com, and directly from Warner Bros. itself. How, then, is Amazon.com a "monopoly"? Blockbuster won't be much of a test case given that, as a rental store, they don't sell new...

For those of you suffering from deja vu all over again, the information Marcelo posted is new to this thread, but actually went up on Usenet back on June 15th and I'm pretty sure it has been posted elsewhere on this site. As far as I know nothing solid has leaked out concerning his other...

So, our new member named palmbeach lives in the U.K. :) Welcome. Oh. And you all can call me "London" from now on. :D Regards, Joe

In crude numerical terms, if a show that costs X can't find an audience on a broadcast network that reaches 120 million households, what chance does it have of finding an audience (and a big enough one for ad rates to cover a signifcant part of "X") on a cable / satellite channel that is only...
