Coulda been worse. Coulda been Hasselhoff. :) Joe

I'd have to disagree. I think Frodo (and to a lesser degree Sam, and even Smeagol) epitomized the ability of Hobbits to resist the Ring's lure. Frodo used the Ring far more in the year or so of his quest than Bilbo did through all of his adventure and the decades that followed. He also...

I suspect it was more a matter of Kosh have the greater interest in/knowledge of the Younger Races in general and the Minbari in particular (going back to Valen and the previous war) and Ulkesh being content to let Kosh take the lead in getting them to do what needed to be done. That and a...

And that was when they expected production to start over a month earlier than it eventually did, so the estimate from completion of filming to release date was pretty good. Regards, Joe

Well, if you want to get picky about it, the name "Ulkesh" was never uttered on the show at all. It may have been in JMS's notes and maybe even in the character lists and scene descriptions in scripts, but it never made it into the dialogue. But JMS has confirmed many times that Ulkesh and...

He thought the other encounter suit made his ass look fat. :) Regards, Joe

The shaggy, bearded nuclear guy. He's actually known as The Nuclear Caveman on several websites. One current joke is that if he's killed off on Heroes the actor can easily get a gig on ABC's upcoming "Geico Cavemen" sitcom. :) Regards, Joe

If she isn't part of the "Paper Company", why would she be subject to their rules?

I must admit your version did look better. It hurt to have to delete the link. But not as much as ticking JMS off would have hurt, so there you are. :) Regards, Joe

The last four episodes of S1, S2, and S3 all aired immediately before the start of the season that followed owing to PTEN's strange scheduling ideas and their desire to run key episodes during "sweeps" periods. But this did not happen with the S4/S5 transition for the simple reason that S4...

Not to mention the twenty seven eight-by-ten color glossy pictures with the circles and the arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was . :) Joe

That's the normal condition for a B5 fan. Now, allow me to explain the history of the Triluminaries and the timeline of Jeffery Sinclair's life... :D Joe

The second actress they brought in to play Na'Toth basically refused to play the role as written. She kept trying to "soften" the character - despite repeated note and chats with JMS and various directors about how what she was doing was antithetical to the nature of the character. They didn't...

In another post on the subject JMS mentioned toying with the idea of giving G'Kar a new aide very week, a la the ever-changing secretaries on Murphy Brown, and having them all meet with unfortunate airlock accidents or other grisly deaths. But then he ate something sweet and lay down for awhile...

Do you have any idea how much it cost to develop a virtual reality umpire as blind and clueless as a living one? :) This is what the "reality" part of "virutal reality" is all about. Regards, Joe

For some reason when I read the news it didn't even register that Doohan was clearly outside the Academy's so-called guidelines. I say we lobby Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones, who worked with Andreas on The Fugitive. Them the Acadmey might listen to. :) Regards, Joe

Ah, as I suspected, not one of these: :D

Well, that's very disappointing news, but not surprising given that we are talking about the American Motion Picture Academy. ;) I wasn't hold out much hope, but I wish they had fooled me this once. On the plus side I can now dump that sizable hi-def recording from my DVR and save the time...

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that "jumper" in British English denotes a different article of clothing than it does in American English. Although given the historic English fondness for cross-dressing (e.g., Monty Python, Benny Hill, soccer uniforms) I suppose I could be wrong. :)...

Didn't bother watching the Oscars (haven't in years, actually.) I did record it in case someone did or said something interesting (which in the case of the Oscars usually means, "spectacularly stupid") or Andreas made the tribute reel. Did he? Because from what I'm reading about the show...
