But you've hit the nail on the head. Anything already established as having a retro feel never ages badly. Dad's Army never grows dull. Ok so it was contemporary at the time... but because Star Trek is in itself futuristic, the fact that they travel back in time makes the ageing of that time...

I think one problem here is that you are looking at it from the younger race point of view pre Z Day. The Vorlons themselves weren't in danger from the Shadows... as Sheridan realised, so it's wrong to assume that losing the Shadow War = ultimate defeat for the Vorlons. The only thing that was...

JMS himself infers that Sol's destruction is artificially induced (when asked the question he cited the fact that the solar emissions are mentioned as being atypical and that it could be caused by opening jump points within it's core to reduce the star's mass)

There's a difference between making an apology for a mistake, an error or something you have done wrong, and making an apology for what you have become. Londo isn't just apologising for the pain he caused G'Kar, he's apologising for the entire path he walked that led him to being the person who...

The unfailing teargates for me are when Sheridan is standing at the wall where he gave his major speech, and recalls it.... and C&C going up with added boom compared to the rest of the station going up.

Do you think Tron's programme has "gone bad" in this? After all he looks a bit surly and he's yellow in the trailer and after all... the bad programmes were red/yellow in the original (Flynn turned himself yellow but he is an exception because he is a User... akin to a god).

That was brilliant because they made it look like they were introducing a new "regular" character and being hamfisted about it. So you took an instant dislike to Arzt... and then the payoff comes at the end when you realise they were setting him up for a fall all along. You are supposed as a...

I'll watch it... but I loved the plot to the original and while I don't doubt the plot will be solid, I fear this is going to skew some of the themes explored in the original. Visuals look good though.

Full article here. I really appreciated that article on a fundamental level. He even used two words that have been painfully on my mind of late - "Ivory Towers". I've been starting to follow the JMS comic trail of late. I loved what he did with spider-Man in "The Other", and it seems when...

It's an interesting one. My mind is not made up: On the one hand it makes perfect sense to scuttle the Solar System in order to prevent all technologies getting into wrong hands (after all Sleeping in Light is somewhat of a precedent). However, as an enlightened species at this point (and we...

Pssst don't forget Quantium 40!;)

Me too but I have no hope of seeing this in the UK yet as we don't have Sky, and although a work colleague is taping it... she is on maternity leave and our VHS is kaput!:rolleyes::( I blame Murdoch the antichrist!:p

Irrespective of it's merits (deserved or not), the film industry will back this movie to the hilt from every angle... for business reasons. The newer 3D format technology is supposed to be very hard to illegally copy and is seen by many in the industry as an invaluable tool to combat film...

I find that prospect even more disturbing than the Kraft buyout of Cadbury.

Heheh! I am now Lieutenant Commander "The Doctor" of the Federation CRUISER USS Tardis I could have opted for the Constitution look... but this is supposed to be set several years after the future events referred to in the recent film (in the Prime Universe), so I opted for a more futuresque...

Bit late now... they accepted reuests for closed beta which I didn't get into... but by preordering the game, Open Beta became available. The deadline has passed i think... :-(

Well I've gone the Engineering route... I tend to like tanking and taking the hits while dishing it out. Very close to lieutenancy now... I think the next ship up is the Conny :cool: Look me up if you want I'm The Doctor@Gwalchavad

I keep putting a picture up but it keeps vanishing whenever i come back... here's a link to him.

I've got the game on open beta... feels like there's a lot more bugs in the system than there should be, this close to the proper release... but I'm having a blast. I've utterly geeked out by getting in early and reserving my character name as "The Doctor" and my ship name as "USS Tardis". I've...

As a child of the 80's (by which I mean that my childhood was in the 80's, not my birth year)) I have no problem with that... Murdock was totally my hero at primary school... but then so was Mr Claypole from Rentaghost (God rest his soul) Why do I seem to look up to nutter characters? Do have...
