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

    Disappointing outcome. I'd put money on it not happening, despite the statement. If they're not excited enough to pick it up now, I don't see how that changes in a year.

    Remastering Season 1

    I really doubt you'd run into any issues here. Traffic is low and you aren't profiting in any way. Maybe 'go to PM for a torrent link"? But seriously, with a torrent and maybe a VPN you are fairly safe. I for one definitely want a S1 torrent when you are done. Looks amazing and a total...

    The Orville New Horizons (Season 3) 2022.03.10

    I definitely warmed to this show a lot over its run. Started out thinking 'why does this exist?' because it was so close to TNG. But I must admit, it's very comforting viewing and very enjoyable. It's a TNG continuation by stealth.

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

    As a lifelong Trek fan, with TNG up there with my favourite shows, I couldn't believe how BAD Picard was. So much scope, and it was such a pile of turgid trash with zero character development. Plus, I now firmly believe a lot of shows are being ruined by forcing an arc plot, mostly one that...

    Is the Lost Tales DVD a DVD-R?

    If it was direct from Amazon and not a re-seller, then I think it's likely legit. But Amazon returns are super easy if you want to trade it in for another copy.

    Netflix's Live Action Cowboy Bebop

    They fundamentally missed the point of the anime. Good stand alone episodes that can do anything. The Vicious plot line isn't the backbone of the story and we don't need endless extrapolation of that narrative. It looked the part and I mostly liked the cast, but it definitely lacked the heart...

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

    Both the Flash and Sabrina had full 24 episode seasons. Sabrina S2 got 13 episodes. I'd be pretty good with something in the middle. Like 12 episode seasons.

    Dune

    So, I finally got to see Dune at the IMAX last night. Spoiler free review follows: I loved it. It gets so much right. The costuming was beautiful, the composition of shots was gorgeous. The SCALE of it was spot on. The VFX all felt weighty and real, and those things that needed to be imposing...

    Dune

    Wow, then they have fundamentally misunderstood Dune as a whole. I wrote the Dune series because I had this idea that charismatic leaders ought to come with a warning label on their forehead: "May be dangerous to your health." One of the most dangerous presidents we had in this century was...

    Dune

    Yeah, glad to see the cast be more diverse. Makes sense. Had lots of fun laughing at the neckbeard fanboys screaming "DUNE IS RUINED... WOKENESS EVERYWHERE... DUNE ISN'T POLITICAL BRO... Hahahaha. Fucking hell. I am assuming most of them haven't ever read the books. :lol:

    Dune

    Off to see this on Sunday at IMAX. Looking forward to it. Consensus amongst fans seems positive.

    Netflix's Live Action Cowboy Bebop

    Hmmm... this makes me not so sure.

    Any fans of The Expanse in here? (Books or TV Show)

    Probably the best new SF show in quite some time. It reminded me of B5 in its scope, and the production values and acting are all top quality. I felt some seasons lagged a bit, but the payoff has always been very cool. The S3 conclusion had the same 'epic' feeling of later B5 when things started...

    NEW Babylon 5 Series

    For inexplicable reasons... only Children can pilot these giant robots. :borg:

    Dune

    Pretty excited for this. I think Villeneuve has done some good work in the past, I especially enjoyed The Arrival. I disliked Blade Runner II: Electric Boogaloo, but more for the script than the direction. It definitely looked and felt the part, but I struggled to care about any one character or...

    NEW Babylon 5 Series

    Yeah, I use NordVPN for a certain degree of online privacy and you can also use it to fool steaming sites into thinking you are elsewhere. Want the USA catalogue on Netflix, no problem. For instance, I can watch Adult Swim, whilst actually being in the UK. I also will occasionally use torrents...

    NEW Babylon 5 Series

    Pretty sure I've seen CW shows on Netflix UK in the past. Plus, with a VPN, no issues. It's what I do these days. In fact yes, the Sabrina reboot and Arrow are both on Netflix UK.

    NEW Babylon 5 Series

    Oh yes, now that would be an interesting switch up! There really is a LOT of scope for tinkering and making it something distinct from the original show. JMS has made it abundantly clear it will be different. It's weird seeing fans argue about actors and using old story lines. If I see 'do the...

    NEW Babylon 5 Series

    Wild speculation on my part, but I kinda expect a lot of new characters that occupy the same kind of thematic roles as the existing show. So, the trajectory of say 'Londo' is roughly the same but it's 'Kronkulon, the Centauri Ambassador' or whatever, this time around.

    Ohhh, thanks for this! Can I also say, 10/10 for your signature content. Love Kurt Vonnegut.
