    Zagros 7 and the jumpgate

    This taken from the Lurkers Guide for the episode A Distant Star.

    Zagros 7 and the jumpgate

    I know, my point is how do they navigate? How do they get to new planets? If they travel in hyperspace, which they must do, there must be a way of getting around without beacons. In which case, destroying a systems jump gate does not render it inaccessible for the rest of time.

    Zagros 7 and the jumpgate

    OK then. So what about Explorer class ships like the Cortez (A Distant Star). They build new jump gates when they discover interesting worlds. How do they get to those worlds in the first place? Surely they don't travel via normal space? So, there must be a way of navigating hyperspace...

    Zagros 7 and the jumpgate

    I did wonder this myself, but then how do you get a new gate to a previously non-gate world? Additionally, ships with jump engines seem to easily get to worlds that have no jump gate, e.g. (unless I'm very much mistaken) Zha'ha'dum? There must be other ways of navigating without using man made...

    Zagros 7 and the jumpgate

    I'm sure there's a very good reason, but why would it not be possible for a ship with jump engines to jump to the Markab world after the gate was destroyed?

    Londo's 3/5 chances

    Re: Londo\'s 3/5 chances Neither was I. But it was amusing to see Joe contradict himself: Actually not true. Londo took advantage of not killing the one who is already dead. He released him. By your own admission then this is all he needed to do, but not so. He still has to give in to...

    Londo's 3/5 chances

    Re: Londo\'s 3/5 chances I've always thought that: "You must save the eye that does not see" refers to G'Kar. Londo must save him as he serves a pivotal role later. "Do not kill the one who is already dead" is referring to Sheridan, by saving him and Delenn they in turn promise to free...

    New start date for S2

    Well I for one hope that the show does go on, it just seemed worrying, but them as I said, I don't know much about the US TV network system! :)

    New start date for S2

    I haven't followed any behind the scenes info on Jeremiah, but surely the fact that it only has, what, 13 episodes in S2 rather than a full 24 or so can't be a good sign of confidence from the channel who funds it?

    Deconstuction Of Fallen Stars

    Re: Reconstuction Of Fallen Stars Quite true, you can read a bit of the details in the JMS Speaks section for that episode over on the Lurkers Guide. The Deconstruction of Falling Stars: JMS Speaks

    Season 2 First Thoughts

    Re: Have a look at this won\'t you Interestingly, play.com list the R1 version of S3 as being available on 12th August, but the R2 version isn't available until 10th November?! I'll be buying the R1 version again! :)

    Season 2 - R1 vs R2

    I noticed no distortion in CoS, so it can't be that bad. The cropping is annoying in places, but it's not common enough to be completely outrageous.

    Firefly, WTF!

    I blame vegetarians.

    DS9 -- Season Three

    :) Yes, it's a very British phrase meaning "really quite good indeed". I have no idea why, or the origin og the phrase.

    Firefly, WTF!

    Ah, if we're talking about shows we'd like to see renewed, but almost certainly wouldn't be, then I'd have to say, in order of preference: 1. Farscape 2. Futurama 3. Family Guy 4. Odyssey 5 (started to show promis toward the end). Oh, and how about bringing back Doctor Who, Blake's 7 and...

    Firefly, WTF!

    I coulnd't get past a whole episode of Firefly. Mind you, it's not as bad as Mutant X! Oh, and I don't like Buffy or Angel either. Bring back Farscape! :)

    Season 2 - R1 vs R2

    Does the R2 version have the strange font that the R1 version has? Different to S1, and different to the closing credits?

    Season 2 - R1 vs R2

    The bad cropping is in the R1 version. I don't recall seeing any distortion in CoS, so it can't have been that noticable.

    Universal <shakes head>

    Eh? Universal don't want the words "Miami Vice" to appear on a web site listing shows they'd like to see on DVD? That really make no sense to, well, anyone, quite frankly.

    Saturn Awards nomination for Jeremiah!

    As much as I like Jeremiah, I'm glad Farscape got the award. It was a great show. And to get an award after Sci Fi cancelled the show only goes to show that Sci Fi really are a bunch of morons.
