    The Babylon 5 Preservation Project

    Didn't say you had to report it to him. Didn't even think that. I was just making a comment on a message board. You're the one who jumped in and tried to get involved. So the book is like the example I described above, is what you're saying. Ok. I'll judge it properly once I've got the...

    The Babylon 5 Preservation Project

    No, you've taken that completely the wrong way. I've been following his project updates so I am paying attention, thank you very much for your condescension. My profession is writing and editing, a job I've been doing professionally since before 2008, and I know from experience there can be a...

    The Babylon 5 Preservation Project

    Not yet. Although I think a draft of the first book has gone out to proofreaders. I am a bit iffy on how it has expanded to 4 books that we now have to fork out for; there's a fine line between including all the necessary details, and cramming the books with too many unnecessary details...

    EpDis: Conflicts Of Interest

    My point was, Bester not knowing, but some people in Psi Corps seemingly having some idea, isn't played on at all in the story, so the inclusion of the telepath assassins in Conflicts of Interest seems like a thread that is not followed up. I don't doubt Bester is out of the loop on a lot of...

    EpDis: Conflicts Of Interest

    Just bringing this thread back from the dead – I watched this episode the other night, and I was a little bit confused by the presence of the telepath assassins. They seemed to want to get their hands on the cure and kill everyone involved, which implies they knew at least a little bit about...

    I've just seen this about Blake's 7 being released on Blu-ray with a remastered edition. Maybe the Beeb were listening to us after all! https://gizmodo.com/blakes-7-blu-ray-remaster-doctor-who-bbc-terry-nation-2000489914

    Official: Babylon 5 coming to Blu-ray in December

    It is brilliant, isn't it? Though I have to say, I am starting to get a little annoyed by the disks constantly falling out of the packaging whenever I open it - I might have to get a second boxset as security in case any of the disks get scratched!

    B5 Reboot?? Is it true??!!?!

    If it was only on Patreon then it must have got leaked because I'm not on Patreon and I saw all that stuff on Twitter. From what I recall the first inkling we got that something was up was JMS asking for CGI models on Twitter but not saying why other than it wasn't anything bad. I think TripleF...

    Have you ever seen Jonathan Creek, Looney? That's a pretty good mystery show about a magician solving crimes. Indeed, my parents do like watching Dr Blake Mysteries.

    I did enjoy Terrahawks as a child, but then again I was only 4. The only thing I really remember about it now is Zelda. Original Trek is in my top three shows of all time, but there are definitely episodes that are so weird as to be unwatchable. Shore Leave, The Alternative Factor, and that...

    That counts me out then! Whenever I've tried to watch Space: 1999 I've always found it terribly embarrassing. Cool ships, though. UFO, on the other hand, was decent from what I remember. Always liked Ed Straker. Other than that and Red Dwarf, I generally can't get into British TV science...

    B5 Reboot?? Is it true??!!?!

    I'm curious. Was there ever a reason given for why it was made in such secrecy?

    After Michael Mann got bored and went off to do other things, Miami Vice supposedly never manages to recapture its former glories. I can't testify to that yet as I've only seen up to season 3. Sorry I don't have anything to contribute to Blake's 7 discussion, I've never actually seen it. The...

    Yes, I think I said that :) I was more just pointing out for our friends in the US that paying the license fee isn't like subscribing to Netflix, it's basically a tax. I'm no particular fan of the BBC. There's very little that they produce that I want to watch or listen to – Match of the Day...

    If this were to be done, this would be handled by the BBC's commercial arm, which recently reported revenues of around £2 billion. By law if you have a TV set in the UK you must pay the TV licence, unless you can somehow prove it's not set up to receive the BBC. So we are not customers in that...

    @Looney you didn't say what your Koenig experience was! From the guest list for Fall-Con, the only three that I am familiar with are Rebecca Holden from Knight Rider, Eric Roberts obviously and Cynthia Rothrock, and I've never actually seen any of her films, not even China O'Brien.

    I saw Jerry Doyle use a great deal of restraint once at a Wolf 359 con at Heathrow. During a signing everybody was using flash photography to take pictures, which began to cause him a problem, so he asked the organiser to put out an announcement asking if people could refrain from using their...

    What I meant about SDCC is that (from a distance as I've never been - wrong country) it seems very heavily commercialised, like it's there to allow Hollywood and Disney and toy companies to promote their products, rather than to create a fan community experience. But I definitely agree about...

    To a point, I do understand why they sometimes charge so much, because there's a going rate for autographed stuff on the secondary market, and why should they charge so little just for people to then sell their autograph for so much on eBay or whatever? I think the most I've paid for an...

    B5 Books: 2 Important Updates

    Thanks for the list of contents! On closer inspection then, looks like this new streaming package is the material from the Cast Reunions blu-ray, plus the Space City Con material with the exception of Maggie Egan's panel, 'The Promise' panel from Phoenix, a bunch of new short videos, and the UK...
