This show keeps getting better and better. In the U.S. we're just past the halfway mark of season 6 (which is only 10 episodes instead of the usual 13.) This was originally planned as the last season, with the show coming back after an extended break following S5 for 10 last episodes to wrap...

I'm bad. When the e-mail announcing a reply to this thread popped up in my in-box, I misread the subject line as "Reply to post 'Doreena's rack'" Imagine my disappointment when I clicked on the link and came to this forum insted of NC-17. ;) Regards, Joe

Right. Because it isn't like an artist might ever throw in a reference to one of his work in a completely unrelated one just for fun, or as an in-joke for fans of both. That's certainly never happened in the history art, literature, or the dramatic arts. ;) (Who was the guy on one of JMS's...

Occam's razor, anyone? There is a perfectly plausible and extremely easy way that the "second" plane could have been faked. Why invoke interdimensional rifts? Also, while this might "explain" the 2nd flight 815, it explains literally nothing else we've seen on the show. The Island, the...

The only "evidence" for this is Juliet's reference to almost being done collecting samples from the "Losties" and that she should have Austen's by that night. It sounds to me like she's collecting specemins from several females on the beach, maybe even all of them (since for her research she'd...

Actually, we didn't, that was the problem. The various estimates and reports of the ship's last known position were mostly off by varying degrees. Ballard's expedition found the ship by looking in the "wrong" area. Also, the Titanic was in waters much deeper than what Naomi suggested flight...

And Dureena's make-up was altered between ACtA and the series, IIRC, so I think there is even less of a resemblance in the Crusade episodes. Regards, Joe

Of course, that isn't quite what JMS said on the commentary track: "One of the dangers in doing a prequel is trying to make people who hadn't met before meet. And all the fans said, 'We never heard about Franklin having gone on this mission with Sheridan before. They never mentioned it in...

General critique: You keep taking everything the characters say as literal truth. Why? People lie to others and themselves all the time. What a character believes to be the case from his own point of view, or to be essentially true, is not always the literal truth. - In his tale the...

It depends on where she is, at least until August 21st. That's when Hayden Panettiere turns 18. (And no I don't know this off the top of my head, I looked it up on the IMDB.) Until then she's legal in a number of states where the age of consent is as low as 16, and a few where it is either 17...

Josh Dial posted this explanation of the time travel issues on in this thread on The Home Theater Forum. I think it is the clearest and most plausible account of what we've seen so far that I've encountered anywhere. Rather than try to summarize it myself, I got Josh's permission to cross-post...

Not necessarily a problem: We don't know how and when Peter got the scar, and we don't know the exact parameters of the healing power he acquired from Claire. We also don't know that the events we've seen in "our" timeline correspond exactly to the events in the future we glimpsed after...

Tim Kring has said that he envisions the show as a series of self-contained books (seasons) that maintain continuity and build on one another, rather than a single over-arching story told across multiple volumes. (More Sherlock Holmes than Babylon 5 or Lord of the Rings.) So each season will...

Or not. ;) I don't think Parkman knew that Sylar had replaced Nathan at some point. Just knowing that Nathan himself was a secret mutant who had made his career crusading against them (leading men like Parkman to have to chose sides and lose their families) was more than enough to explain any...

Because they aren't "episodes" and were never intended to be. JMS always envisioned the "Lost Tales" as being like short stories, little sidelights on the B5 universe that never quite fit into the main series, closer to 20 or 30 minutes in length than the 42 or so of the broadcast shows...

He didn't intend for Sinclair to leave at all. The original plan was to have the "Sheridan-like" character (who wasn't quite Sheridan as we know him because he didn't need to be) added to the story in essence to fight the Shadow War, which he would do with the advice and help of Sinclair...

Education in Cenaturi (or one of the Centauri languages - why does everyone assume all alien races have only one language?) was probably compulsory on Narn during the occupation, so I suspect that quite a few Narn are still fluent in the language. Imperial powers almost always insist on...

I'd say that's a pretty safe bet. ;) #5! :D :beer: :D :beer: :D Rounding out the Top Ten: 1. Planet Earth - The Complete BBC Series 2. The Queen 3. Night at the Museum (Widescreen Edition) 4. The Secret (Extended Edition) 5. Babylon 5 - The Lost Tales 6. Planet Earth - The...
