    Is the board supposed to be acting up?

    The First Rule of Mod Club is you do not talk about Mod Club. The Second Rule of Mod Club is you DO NOT talk about Mod Club. :D

    A B5 Complaint From a Newbie

    "Pitching machines" Thanks for re-explaining that, because obvously some people missed this line in in my earlier post: :) Joe

    I've just sent that link to my brother-in-law and my two nephews, the golfers in the family. :) Joe

    A B5 Complaint From a Newbie

    I'm pretty sure Boxleitner had a "don't make me look like a dork playing hacky-sack" clause in his contract, so that would have been out. :) Yeah, I bet he'd be rubbish too, attempting a practice routine he'd never done for a sport he'd never played and that nobody he knew remotely cared...

    A B5 Complaint From a Newbie

    Well, the same can be said for virtually every scene in a TV show or movie. But in this case the fact that Sheridan is playing baseball has nothing at all to do with the plot. He and Garibaldi could have had the same conversation in Sheridan's quarters or the Zocalo or any number of other...

    Yeah, that's what he told everybody they were, the old pervert. ;) Joe

    A B5 Complaint From a Newbie

    Ooohh, I like the way you think. :) A holo-brothel. The very thing the station needs. ;) And maybe they still have Kosh's data-crystal of Talia lying around. ;) Regards, Joe

    A B5 Complaint From a Newbie

    Sure, that's all we'd've needed - a Zarg on a caffine jag. :) Actually "Grey 17" might make for a nice Lost Tale. Presumably Jeremiah and his people were rounded up and moved out of there shortly after the episode, but I doubt anyone was able to give the place much thought for the next...

    Babylon 5: Leap of Faith

    This isn't a "book" in the sense of "a novel" at all. There's nothing to read here. It is a guide book for a game, not a narrative. And it is from a company that JMS has very publicly dissociated himself from. So I don't know in what sense this can be considered "still B5". Basically it is...

    Is the board supposed to be acting up?

    Speaking of which, am I the only one who sees those Lunesta sleeping pill commercials and thinks, "Damned nosey Vorlons"? :) I, too, have lost an entire thread, one what was started a couple of days before the problems: Missing Very funny thread about a thread on another site: "Best FARK...

    A B5 Complaint From a Newbie

    Grass produces oxygen, too. If you look at many of the shots from the central core, you'll see large areas of green, presumably parks. The batting area could have been part of one of those, with the field used at other times for picnics, soccer and other games. The importance of "green space"...

    Babylon 5: Leap of Faith

    Well, that's pretty much the nature of move and series tie-in books that aren't actual adaptations of screen material. Their target audience is the fan, they don't exist to bring people who have never heard of a given universe to it. Like Peter David? :) How about J. Gregory Keyes? Jeanne...

    Babylon 5: Leap of Faith

    Been awhile since I've read any of the authorized short stories, but I'm quite sure I wouldn't call any of them "appalling", and remember rather liking Avery's "True Seeker" It was fun to pick up some of the left over threads from the series, visit post-war Narn and see Na'Toth again. There...

    Could The Crusade Storyline Incorporate a New Crew?

    Gee, if we put David Martel in command and give him a Minbari XO who can see dead people, we could kill two birds with one stone and revive Rangers as well. ;) Regards, Joe

    Could The Crusade Storyline Incorporate a New Crew?

    You are absolutely right and I do mostly humbly apologize. In writing what you did you covered so many of the familiar tropes favored by another of your species that I completely lost track of which Vorlon was which. I should know to check the names by now, and I just screwed up. I will...

    Could The Crusade Storyline Incorporate a New Crew?

    Yeah, 'cause that was my objection to your earlier idea - them looking for Excalibur on purpose. :eek: You truly have a gift for totally missing other people's points. That's also my main idea. Mine has the advantage of doing this by allowing JMS to tell the "Crusade" story in the context...

    Could The Crusade Storyline Incorporate a New Crew?

    Maybe what they could do is re-start Crusade from scratch and make it look like the 13 eps were all just a dream that someone had. JMS writes his way into a new scenario. ??? Why bother? Again - 110 to 154 total episodes projected, 13 finished. In TV terms hardly anyone every saw said 13...

    Some general background on Direct-to-DVD in the U.S.

    Not directly related to B5:TLT, but does provide some useful background. Besides, TLT is the only D2DVD project we're currently discussing, so I think this is still the right forum. :) This article from Video Business concentrates on theatrical D2DVD films, but gives an idea of the kind of...

    Could The Crusade Storyline Incorporate a New Crew?

    I don't remember JMS saying anything along those lines, although I suppose I could have missed something. The last episode of Crusade finished shooting 8 years ago this month. Even assuming that a great success for TLT might lead WB to consider relaunching Crusade as a D2DVD project (or get...
