Oatley\'s book is finally out! Well, it's taken a while, but it's finally happened! As some of you may recall, I have spent the better part of 2 years writing a book, which meant my self-enforced exile from this wonderful internet community for a good while. In any event, it is finally...

It's been a good year for seeing old fading rock stars - in May I saw Jethro Tull for the first time, and now last night I saw Rick Wakeman up close and personal. Who is Rick Wakeman I hear you ask? He is the keyboard player for the band 'Yes'. Who are 'Yes' I hear you ask? They are a...

I thought it might be a good idea to see what books people around here are reading at the moment, maybe we might get a good review which might inspire people to get a particularly good read. Firstly me - at the moment I am plowing through Colleen McCullough's 'Masters Of Rome' series. Six books...

They've done it to us AGAIN!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: I have just picked up the Region 4 copy of the Movies Box Set and guess what? There are only commentaries for 'Thirdspace', 'River Of Souls' and 'Call To Arms'! I have just checked Amazon.co.uk and it looks (from the blurb) like that it is the...

As Ranger Marcus would say: Bastards!!!!! Has anyone else had a problem with their B5 Season 5 discs? Specifically Disc 5, Episode: The Fall of Centauri Prime. The problem? The episode starts 3 minutes in, at the title credits! It misses the "Previously on Babylon 5" recap, and the...

I was searching the Wikipedia open content encycopedia for some stuff for a report I am writing, when I stumbled on this entry... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylon_5 Who would have thought B5 would have an entry in an encyclopedia...

Given how much we love Christopher Franke's music for B5, I wonder how many people here have gone out and listened to his work in Tangerine Dream, and what they think of it? I must admit that I haven't, so I am curious if anyone else has.

I have just finished this book "The Trouble with Islam: A Muslim's Call for Reform in Her Faith" by Irshad Manji, and I must say that it is brilliant. A gay Moslem activist, living in Canada, of Pakistani origin, via Southern Africa. Witty and insightful, it speaks of her coming to terms with...

I got in the post yesterday the Region 2 first season of Blakes 7, the best British telefantasy ever made. I have been hanging out for this for ages, to replace my ageing VHS tapes that I bought over 10 years ago. I watched the first episode last night, and it just reminded me why I liked this...

Hey, hey, hey! I have just sat through the Extended Version of The Two Towers (all 3 hours and 45 minutes), and all I can say is WOW! Many more scenes have been added or extended (as per the first movie), and the additons are seamless. Like the first EE, it improves the movie a great deal...

Is anyone hanging out to see the third Matrix flick next week, or has Reloaded squashed everyone's enthusiasm? I must admit to waiting with baited breath, but I wasn't put off by Reloaded. Though I must admit that you need to see Reloaded at least twice to start to really 'get it'.

Having just seen a JMS quote in the B5 forum, I noticed that in the signoff, JMS has specifically refused SFX magazine permission to use his quotes in any way. What's the story behind this?

Oatley1\'s Halloween Entry OK, since others have posted theirs, I'll give mine a whirl... The Waking Dream “This is not good.” Lightning flashed across the sky. Rain poured down every crevice in a flood of despair. “You have forgotten something…” a voice intoned. He turned to face the...

Hi everyone. I don't know whether this is old news, or whether people already know about this website, but this site allows people to rate episodes from a number of TV sci-fi shows, including B5. If people are interested, here is the link. http://www.geos.tv/

I was thinking about the upcoming DVD release, and what extras it contained. It started me thinking about what extras I would like to see in the future season releases. If I were wanting to see some specific extras for future seasons, they would probably be: 1. JMS (and director) commentary for...
