That is one of my favorite episodes, and it promted me to read more of his fiction, which then put me off of reading any more of his fiction. Never tried the short stories though. And hey, if bouncing ideas off him helps JMS, then I am all for it. ------------------ "In the Beginning the...

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, arial">quote:</font><HR>That one doesn't believe that something serious will come up doesn't mean that one isn't prepared to meet something that does come up. By your logic, there would be no reason for the Minbari to have a fleet of War Cruisers big...

*Whistles Nonchalantly, then looks up in complete surprise. . .* What, what did I do? Nope, nothing here. No idea what you are talking about. ------------------ "In the Beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad...

Yep, it is very easy, simply take a drink every time anyone says 'We live for the one, we die for the one.' Hmm, wait, on second thoughts that might not be a good idea. How much Alcohol do you need to consume to get alcohol poisoning anyway. . . ------------------ "In the Beginning...

Re: I just don\'t get the negativity...(spoiler) You know, I always wondered if that Swedish Meatballs comment was a sort of homage to Douglas Adams who had that line in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy about how every known race had a drink, not necessarily alcoholic, or even tasting the...

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Irmo: Problem is: The Minbari were always aware that such folks were out there. More, they had contact with the Vorlons. They had fought the Shadows in the past. They have no reason whatsoever to expect to be...

Re: B5:LotR TLaDiS - Some Observations, Questions, etc. (CONTAINS SPOILERS) No one ever said it was the smallest ship that could open a jump gate. It was just incredibly surprising to John Sheridan when he discovered that it could open a jump point, and he was amazed by it. HE then said...

Yes, I actually enjoy it a bit myself. I don't go out of my way to watch it, but if it is on I don't turn it off. It is supposed to be campy, and I think it works. It is entertainment, not a great work of literature. Err, what were we talking about. . . Oh yeah, Harlan Ellison. Now I for...

O.K. Fine, I will rehash a point I made in the other thread, since the point seems to have been ignored. The fact is, the Liandra is an old ship, but it is still a Minbari ship. As far as the Minbari knew, no one else out there was any sort of a match for them technologically. Therefore, why...

Re: B5:LotR TLaDiS - Some Observations, Questions, etc. (CONTAINS SPOILERS) Whoever made the comment about the Narn and the Drazi being new to the alliance wasn't listening carefully. Martel said they were new to the RANGERS, NOT to the alliance. ------------------ "In the Beginning the...

Hey, glad you could drop by. I too loved the show, and loved its potential even more. In terms of Pilots for Sci Fi series, this was one of the best I have ever seen. I mean, Geeze, B5's Pilot BLEW. It made me miss virtually the entire first season. Ditto for Star Trek the Next Generation...

I already made a long post dealing with this subject in the "One thing that disgusted me. . ." thread, so I won't rehash it here. However, I do find myself having to play devil's advocate here and say that I do NOT think it is an efficient design. I think that it is a somewhat backward design...

O.K. Everyone else has had plenty to say about the characters, plot, dialogue, etc. It has all been hashed over a great deal and I find I have nothing new to add, so forget that, and on to something completely different. Can anyone tell me why none of the Rangers had the collapsable fighting...

I have just one comment to make here that ties in with a few other comments about the fact that Minbari are aliens, and do things in an alien way. Is everyone forgetting that compared to the rest of the galaxy (Excepting the old ones, who before the war even the Minbari didn't really know...
