I thought it was quite clever that the `solution` involved something that we didn't know anything about until halfway through the series. (My favourite episode of the second half of the series, in fact. Note that we still don't know where the contingent of `justice-meeters-out` inside the...

Agreed :thumbsup:. I thought it was a fantastic episode - and there was so much there that connected with previous episodes (if we've been paying attention :) ). And great to see a certain little girl again (aged a year or so and quite a bit more confident/assertive as a character, I thought)...

We are fortunate in the UK to have had a continuously rolling Babylon 5, on the cable channel `FX` (slightly less on `FX HD`), since it began on 9th November 2009! :) More than a year and a half, now.

And just think how fortunate we are in the UK to have (at present) a continually rolling, consistently, chronologically shown B5 (and twice over) :). Some countries aren't getting this delight atm at all. @ GH: Talking of `delightful`, I find your constantly moving avatar on one of the other B5...

Here in the UK there was a programme called `Doctor Who Confidential` (that followed the episode on another BBC channel) where parts of it showed Neil Gaiman reading sections of his script while touring around the various sets, showing how the two meshed together, and further revealing themes...

Thank you very much, peoples :thumbsup:. How nice for 3 different folks to come to the aid of this novice. Here's my spoiler, then: And I agree with those above who are confident that SM is such a good writer (it was `Blink` that brought me firmly back to the new DW) that he will have thought...

Ah, I wanted to add a `spoilered` comment but couldn't see how to do it, alas. (Couldn't find it in FAQs, either. But I am a bear of small brain so please forgive my inadequacies.)

Personally, I would be happy with the story dictating whether there should be aliens or not. If a good writer wants/needs aliens, great. If a good writer doesn't want/need aliens, also great. The presence or absence of aliens doesn't (to me) determine the quality of a story one way or 'tother...

I spent ages some time ago deciding on `my` order for Crusade as well. I find that my first 9 eps are the same as Tor's but in a slightly different order and my final 4 are (therefore) also the same, but also in a slightly different order. And I also place War Zone first, Rules of the Game last...

My guess is that since the Victorian character in question has become a part of British (especially London) folklore then a fair number of those who live there (in the UK) did indeed guess his identity in advance - especially because of his nastiness, arrogance and self-righteousness. (But...

Be very interesting to know if your comment is written from a male or a female perspective.

Yes, that was one of the many things I found fascinating about this new film/hoped to be series. I was finding the Star Trek versions of the future dull (occasional good episodes) and was really irritated with the 50 minutes build-up then 5 minute resolution and almost no follow-up...

:) I agree with Bester's order, with a couple of differences - see below - and also agree with his strong recommendation not to watch "In the Beginning" until much later - between series 4 and 5 works (when it was made, in fact) - for the reason he said: it spoils many aspects of the ongoing...

Yes, it's a puzzle, isn't it? :vulcan: Whenever I'm time-travelling, I'm never sure if doing or not doing a specific action I've been warned about will definitely lead to or definitely avoid the consequence I don't want. :eek:

Surely the point here is that this is deliberately left ambiguous, and then we discover in the next episode that this very thing (i.e. the content and tenor of his communication with Shakiri at the very end) was part of what he discussed with Delenn `off-camera`, part of their plan - all of...
