I agree that B5 was too marginal to effect great change on television, but I think it forced DS9 into a real story arc. That was probably the greatest effect of the series. That...and the DVD sales got us some new stories.

DL is absolutely correct. Mostly, this has been a, shall we say, spirited discussion. If it descends into something else, off to the rant forum for most of it. :borg:

But we can't be free, till we learn to laugh at ourselves. Once you look in the mirror and see just how foolish we can be. Laughter is inevitable. And from laughter comes wisdom.

With the practice I've had a magnificent one, dear boy. ;) That sounds to be good news. I will certainly go see this one as I often live in hope.

Yes. I am concerned. ;) As a Trek lover from way back, Enterprise was a disappointment to me. I had high hopes that were basically dashed from the very beginning. They lost me entirely by the 3rd season. At this point, I have no hope for any more good Trek. I didn't even See ST10...

I don't know how I missed this thread the first time. I have loved space stories since my oldest brother sat me down next to him to watch original Trek when it first aired. I was very angry when they moved the show to Thursday nights at 10, which was past my bedtime. ;) When I saw a few...

I don't hate Janeway, which is a distinction. :p

He annoyed me for 7 years. I couldn't stand Sisko. His coolness left me cold. I don't know how to explain it other than Avery's boredom with the roll showed through his performance, at least for me. Your point, exactly? :rolleyes: :p I'm currently watching B5 S5 again. I just finished The...

Londo had some stunning lines, didn't he? :) "Fools to the left of me, feeders to the right... I need to find a real job." "Ah, arrogance and stupidity all in the same package. How efficient of you!" "Six months ago hardly anyone knew my name. Now everyone wants to be my friend. I wanted...

Quite frankly, when I started watching B5 I stopped watching DS9. As far as "space station" shows, DS9 paled by comparison so much that I couldn't care. I did watch more of DS9 later, but it never captured me. I actually enjoyed Voyager and even Enterprise more. Currently, I am...

Apparently, I went to uni at a very un-bi time. ;)

There are many connotations there....not to be explored in this forum. ;)

I think that some of it is the bi stuff, and some of it is some of the banter between the characters. There is a lot of humor which I find reminiscent of Buffy. No, the dialogue really doens't come close to Whedon's but there is a lot of tongue-in-cheek lines that work well. However, it...

Good point. :D Actually, I think things are a bit different now. Going to conventions and Comicon for years gets these folks used to the attention of fans. They were so very fresh. I mean...I got to play with Virginia Hey's head. :D

I am re-reading Phillip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" trilogy. Currently in the first quarter of "The Subtle Knife". The first book was made into the film "The Golden Compass". I can highly recommend the books.

I loved the series from the first episode. Sure, there are some dogs, but I thought it was spectacularly creative. The writing (and acting) can be intensely emotional, or outstandingly witty. I was fortunate enough to go to the first Farscape convention held in the US. It was an...

Vacantlook is correct about the size of avatars. If you have further difficulty Erelipype, send me a private message and I will assist you.

It is a good question. Frankly, news is news, but many people don't go into that forum because there are times when rants overtake news. I think it is up to the poster if a general news item will go to General or News, depending on the subject. Your last post is a good benchmark, though...

I've heard that his take on the Joker was going to be quite different than Nicholson's. It's too bad that this happened to such a young and talented actor. It was apparently sleeping pills of some sort, or so I've read. He also was apparently having a hard time sleeping, so perhaps it was...

I like cheese with my wine, Chilli. ;) :beer:
