Yeah, I haven't watched much of it on Legend recently, but managed to catch Voices of Authority on Friday, which means there's some brilliant episodes coming next week!

I think so. There's a post somewhere from JMS, written around season 3 I think, where he says he already knows what the final episode will be, he had already drafted the final scenes, and he had two possible titles for it: Farewell, or Sleeping in Light. But thank goodness they filmed season 4...

I'm close to saying that season 1 is my second favourite season, but then I look at the excellent episodes from seasons 2 and 4 and there's not that much in season 1 to compare to them. But season 1 is the show I fell in love with and have many happy memories of that developing over the course...

What's everyone's favourite season of Babylon 5? I'm not necessarily meaning what's objectively the best season, since we'll never all agree, but what is your personal favourite and why? For me, it's season 3. It hit just at the time that B5 was really becoming super popular among genre fans...

I've been re-watching the X-Files recently. When it was originally shown in the UK in 90s we got the first two seasons free-to-air on the BBC, but then Sky got the rights, so I haven't seen a lot of the episodes that weren't shown by on the BBC. So this is the first time that I've watched a lot...

Those are brilliant, thank you for sharing! Your whole website is cool, I enjoyed looking through the still photos and interviews. And I'd be very interested in your book, please do keep us updated on how that progresses!

Part of me would dearly like a bout of selective amnesia so I can experience the show again without knowing what's going to happen. But then I wonder, would it really be the same experience me watching it now rather than when it first aired and when I was a certain age? So in the words of Dr...

I'll just reiterate what I said in another thread about how it's great to see new - or relatively new in Axionz case – viewers really appreciating Michael O'Hare's performance given how disliked he was by many people during the original run in the 1990s. It's such a tragedy he isn't with us...

It will be interesting to see what they do. When it was last shown on Sky 2, they also showed In The Beginning after season 5, but I don't think they showed any of the other TNT movies. I'm sceptical Legend will show Crusade, as it is only 13 episodes so it's only two-and-a-half weeks of...

I just googled 'John Vornholt interview'.

I found a transcript of an interview with author John Vornholt (who wrote Voices and Blood Oath) online, some interesting stuff. He confirms he had 8 months to a year lead-time when writing them. He also amusingly takes credit for Talia's Control personality, and says JMS "slipped up" when he...

Looking at the publication dates of the first two or three books (1995), I suspect they had indeed not seen much of the show, if you factor in that they probably were given a few months to write each novel, and then the rush to publication. They probably began writing early 1994, so they'd maybe...

I read it back when I was a teenager and the book had just come out. I think I enjoyed it at the time, finishing it in two sittings, but I'm not sure I would enjoy it now. I guess it would make a better Star Trek novel than a Babylon 5 novel. I do remember thinking Clark's Law was good. The...

By coincidence I was just looking at this patch on eBay earlier this week and wondering if it had actually been in the show (same for a lot of those Starfury squadron patches). It's cool that they went to the trouble of creating the patch even if it barely got any screentime. Are the patches on...

According to the Internet he is Director of Operations at Santa Monica Audi, assuming it is the same Macauley Bruton, it looks like him. One thing I never realised was he was Michael O'Hare's dialogue coach - I knew he had a coach but I didn't know it was Bruton, so he deserves some credit for...
