    Star Trek (SPOILERS)

    I can tell a lot from little things and actually thought he was excellent right from the preview, just by the one line I was impressed how subtly he mimicked Mccoy. Just like I knew Sylar was going to overplay Spock from the first couple frames of the first second I saw him...

    what was Jericho about again? I heard the name once I've never seen it

    Star Trek (SPOILERS)

    Did anyone else Chris Pine looked like a sissy with his legs crossed at the end?

    Star Trek (SPOILERS)

    Not really. The star could have been thirty light years away, right? Some systems orbit a dual star / black hole system, don't they? Wouldn't Earth be fine if the Alpha Centauri sun turned into a black hole? Yah, if it was the Romulan star, they just would have said "The Romulan star", they...

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

    Thank you SO MUCH for your replies guys... I'm gonna check out some of your examples, but then again, I'd kinda have to watch/read the entire things to get the feel of a story arc so mabye not... I'll definitely wikipedia them, though =) That's what I'm trying to do, I'm trying to do something...

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

    Omg I always thought of Tolkein as the worst example, given what one of my college english professors told me about him... He said he just wrote bit by bit. He got up to the introduction of Aragorn and had absolutely no idea where the story was going--no plan whatsoever--and a friend writer...

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

    I hope this doesn't sound pluggy, I'm honestly just trying to start an interesting discussion topic... but I'm an aspiring novelist and one of my most inspiring writers is JMS--in particular for his brilliant execution of the idea of an entire saga with a story arc rather than episode to episode...

    Star Trek (SPOILERS)

    Oh dear holy mother of !@#$$# you've just given me nightmares for years that the rest of Trek is going to be a high budget re-hash of Voyager... Did I just see the one of the best movies of all time just to suffer through thirty brainless labotomized voyager-writer trek-hash movies that I'll...

    Star Trek (SPOILERS)

    That would have defeated the only purpose of the movie. The whole point is we can do new things now, that we have no idea what to expect. Otherwise we should just pull down every succeeding Star Trek book, film, and episode off our shelves, and just just watch them sequentially again while...

    Star Trek (SPOILERS)

    OK, so I find it a really bizarre coincidence that I wore a Babylon 5 shirt to Star Trek on Friday and just happened to find this board today searching for a Matrix quote... Anyway I have tons of thoughts so here go my thoughts on this thread. To preface, I thought the movie was one of the...

    SPOILER thoughts on Matrix Reloaded

    >> Here's the question: Is Persephone a program or a human? I searched the net for this question and this thread came up. I just watched Revolutions and something had always bothered me. At the beginning, to the power plant guy, Neo says he's never heard a program "speak of love." This is...
