Happy belated Christmas and New Years, Anna! B5 used to be 'stripped' (Run daily) on The Science Fiction Channel for about two years, and I must say I really enjoyed getting a fix every day in the back room at work during my lunch break. It was the way they used to run dead SF shows on UHF...

Even an insincere apology would be a nice gesture. Any way to contact him? Fan club? Blog? Personal secretary? Website?

Read the whole thing. It answered a lot of questions I had, like about the son he adopted (According to Starlog, back in the day) and how, exactly, he passed. I didn't realize he'd recently had a daughter. Sad. I'm somber this time of year. I hate the holidays. Bad stuff always happens, so...

All well and good if it works, and if it helped her, but DOES it work, and did it help her, or is it just an endorsement deal to get a little money? I'm asking. I don't know. This review here...

He's 82. He's got a surprisingly good career. But he's not playing the leading man in an action/adventure series. Yup. True. BSG was able to get two oscar winners on the principle cast by giving them parts that were really, really attractive to them.

Well, "Holding back" isn't lying. I mean, what's he going to say, "Bruce Boxleitner is a jerk who's hard to work with?" Bruce is a working actor, such things could only adversely effect his career. There's no point in saying things like that, unless you want revenge. Also, talking trash about...

I don't think it has much to do with budget, honestly. The show just had a sprawling cast. Eleven characters in the first season alone, plus a couple recurring. Twelve in the second season, plus a couple recurring. That's a LOT of characters to juggle in 44 mnutes of screen time, particularly...

I've never known Joe to lie, not even when it's in his best interests. I'm sure he'd do it under certain circumstances. He told me once about a time he WOULD have lied if he'd had his wits about him, but was so flustered he didn't know what to do. I get the feeling that he would to save someone...

I don't think he thought like that. You're seeing it in terms of Kosh wanting to make a difference, and I don't think he nor any other vorlon thought like that. I think they were perfectly cool with the every-thousand-years-we-have-a-proxy-war thing. It went on for a million years. That's a...

Well, we've already SEEN the war from the rebel's side. I'd much rather see it from the losing side. You get a lot of drama out of the world falling apart around your ears.

In a nutshell: A couple centuries hence, mysterious aliens start bombing the earth with asteroids for no adequately explained reason. This kills most of the population, and everyone lives in hastily-constructed underground cities. The earth space force (which has no FTL) attempts to fight the...

A little old, don't you think? He's pushing 60

That's A definition of it, certainly. Others include "Not simply giving up" and "Not simply going along with everyone else." I suspect a large part of Kosh's bravery was the latter. I think he GREW to like them, largely through Sheridan. I don't think he inherently liked him. I imagine his...

Yeah. Pretty much if I can't sit at a physical keyboard and type with my physical fingers, I don't bother to do anything at all.

I know the books are supposed to be canon, or varying degrees of canon, but honestly I don't take them terribly seriously. I take 'em more seriously than Trek novels or Star Wars comics, but less seriously than Dr. Who Audioplays, in the grand scheme of things. If JMS had written them, sure...

Forgive me if this has come up before or not on the side, but have we ever discussed the similarities between "Star Blazers" and "Crusade?" Both have a ticking clock. The Excalibur has 5 years to find a cure for the Drakh plague. THe Argo has 1 year to get a cure for the radiation that is...

Sure! I hate typing on a phone.

Well, as we're talking about recasting the Gideon part, it makes sense, right?

I was joking. It is curious to me, though, that her lines and Max's lines from Crusade have the same cadence and candor. Almost like her character were a rough draft of his. And, yeah, thirdspace sucked. Honestly, none of the TV movies were very good.

No offence, but I disagree with just about every bit of that statement. First: Kosh was immeasurabley old. Probably hundreds of thousands of years. He'd lived through hundreds of these Shadow wars. Both sides fought by proxy, manipulating lesser species to do their biddings, only showing...
