Yup. I liked Crusade a bit better as the music was frequently somewhat at odds with what we saw onscreen, and the dissonance intrigued me. The music doesn't stand on its own, though. I've tried playing it just as music, not as background, and it doesn't work much. Conversely, I think the Joel...

Well, if you're not that interested and it's a choice between a 2-hour movie and a 13 hour TV series, go for the movie. The FX are nice, the soundtrack is great, and the acting is pretty good. Much of it is on youtube if you want to try to check it out. On the other hand, if you're a purist...

Animation: Headache-inducing Dubbing: Cringingly bad. American Script/Censoring: I suppose it COULD have been worse... Overall Japanese Original: Kinda' silly-but-cool Thing is, with all that going against it, I will always love SB/SBY. It was the first arc-driven cartoon, nay, the first...

Tessa. His final wife. I wrote and recorded and sing the theme song for her internet radio show. I discovered him my freshman year in college, and pretty much absorbed everything he wrote in one long several-months-long epic feeding frenzy. Check out "Divine Invasions: A life of Philip K...

The Erotica thing isn't hard to figure: it's hard to read a book with only one hand, and when you're other hand is free you kinda' don't feel like reading any more. <G> I *have* toyed with the idea. I haven't really done anything with it, but it would be cakework to do. That's a good idea...

Thank you, that's really helpful! The 4th book (Also an anthology) is called "The Bones of an Angel," and the artwork is an angel skeleton that's being excavated by archeologists or paelontologists or whatever. I just thought it was a neat image/mood kinda' thing. It does relate directly to...

Hey, everybody. I need some advice: I have written and self-published three books in the last three years, and a fourth one is probably coming out in less than a month. I've got 'em up on Amazon and Smashwords, I plug 'em on both my sites (Which have no readers) and I plug 'em on Republibot...

Meaning no disrespect to Hatch, who's a super-nice guy, but he misremembers a lot. Listen to the commentary track for the BSG box set. The others are all like, "Yeah, I remember this scene. Right after this I got a haircut" and "Oh, sure, they signed me as a recurring character, but you guys got...

Yup! Someone on io9 said "They'll gender-swap starbuck into a guy, and then people will complain about it."

No, B5 has a good track record with chicks in charge. Ivonova was wonderful. Lochley had a few good moments (Such as her speech about not getting to choose which orders you follow), but the character suffered from not a lot of development time, being born in a rush, and then being uncomfortably...

Actually, I think Singer said his impression is that the new movie will be unrelated to either series, and probably mid-way between them in terms of tone and subject matter. I don't think Singer's attached to it, though, so take that with a grain of salt. My HUNCH is that they're hoping to...

26 wasn't that bad. There were only 78 shows on the air at the time. Generaly speaking in those days any show that was in the top 50% got renewed. Larson thought he was going to get a 2nd season if he could bring the cost-per-episode down, and was dumbstruck by te cancellation. (Network...

Nope. Had it gone to a 2nd season, they'd have killed off most of the sprawling supporting cast, and given double-duty to the remainders. The season premier was to be called "The Return of the Pegasus" and it might actually have been good. It would have killed off Tigh, Dr. Salik, Dr. Wilker...

I liked her MUCH better on Crusade than on B5. I also liked her in "Lost Tales." "Boss man in drag" is a serious problem with SF, I agree. Or as I call it, "Captain Kirk in a Dress."

I get the feeling G'Kar's cybernetic eye was supposed to play more of a part than it did. They went to all the trouble of setting it up with no payoff.

No matter how much they scream and shout about "The comics are canon" or "The novels are canon" or "The cartoons are canon,", or whatever, they never really are. They're always just a way to keep the brand name alive. Imagine you're JJ Abrams, and you're making Star Wars 7: when you're...

Honestly, I think you just proved me full of crap there. I may no longer know what I'm talking about. I gave up on TDC, TSC, etc, around the time "Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull" came out and the networks were essentially running feature-length commercials for the film disguised as...

I'd agree with all of that excepting the 'market saturated with excellent science programming' part. Yeah, we've got TDC and TSC and suchlike, but they're continually running shows about the Chupacabra and Ancient Astronauts and horse-crap like that. Honestly, the best science shows still come...

Oh, good, I'm not the only one who's noticed that. I'm somewhat religion-obsessed, I tend to see things in religious terms (Part of the reason I love B5 so much), so sometimes I'm not sure if I'm actually seeing a bias or merely imagining it. I'm relieved and disappointed to know it's not the...
