Having thought about it for a couple months now, I'm torn. On the one hand, there's no real NEED for a reboot, and there's many neat moments that would be lost if it was rebooted. On the other hand, as JMS has said, there's a lot of stuff that could have been done better, or ideas he wasn't able...

So is anyone watching the new "Cosmos" on Fox? Got any thoughts on it? Personally, I thought the first ep was awful, the 2nd ep was a significant improvement, and the 3rd one was pretty good. That said, there's a number of things I don't like (Crappy animation, lame soundtrack), one of...

I personally saw that stuff as a case of carrot and stick: We COULD have destroyed earth, and here's proof, but we didn't. So be our friends. It's a veiled threat masquerading as an invitation to a party. But I could see that as the first stage in "The Great Sheridonian Empire" if JMS had...

Oddly, it never struck me that David shold have been there for the Last Supper, but, yeah, he shoulda'.

Generally it doesn't. And then you throw Warners into the mix, and it's vastly worse.

Might not have related at all. Lots of times we want to do things, and don't get the chance. We want to redeem ourselves for something, and we get hit by a bus, or caught up in a war, or whatever. His redemption may have been learning to put his own need for redemption aside and doing what was...

Ok, if you think it works you think it works. That means it works for you, that's good enough, I won't argue. What I was trying to say is sometimes people will shoot scenes that they know won't be in the finished cut, or are unlikely to be in the finished cut, or will be HEAVILY altered in the...

WHOA! What? wow! Please tell me everything you know about this, including why it got cut.

I've occasionally wondered if JMS wanted to do a "Secret" episode (The "Lost" thing I refer to in the thread title). We see flash forwards here and there through the series, most relating to "The David Sheridan Incident." Sometimes I wonder if JMS had planned to essentially film that entire...

Huh. Well, I'm just damn wrong, I guess. That's what I like about this site as opposed to Trek or Gate sites: People here know their stuff, don't just natter and attack. (Gate sites do that less than Trek sites, but still) Anyway, thank you. I think I prefer what I daydreamed over what JMS...

I'd agree with that. I think O'Hare's worst moment was when he was pretending to be a thug conning a nightclub owner. I think Boxleitner's worst moment was when he was in the cafeteria sitting my himself randomly laughing as though he's having a brilliant idea, but it's just cringingly fake. I...

Probably not. I heard him somewhere mention that the network wanted a new Telepath to pick up where Talia left off. They seemed opposed to the idea of Lyta returning, but they agreed to bring her on as a guest star for an ep or two. Joe wasn't particularly pleased with the idea of Teep #3, and...

Word salad! As it happens, I'm friends with one of his ex-wives. No such animal, alas. A lot of that I think has to do with the fact that a lot of the early New Wave synth guys BUILT those synths themselves, or had friends who did. There were a lot of unique and interesting sounds, and...

That's what they pay me the big bucks for. Yup. Lotta' that going around. Particularly in Nebraska in winter. There are points in our lives where things just click, and they become part of the fiber of who we were. TNG was *NOT* one of those for me. Not meaning to be insulting, just making...

I'd also have to say David Warner in "Grail" just kinda' sleepwalking his way through it. And honestly I thought Mack and Bo from "A View from the Gallery" were stagey as hell. Ok, what do you think is the worst scene or performance by a member of the principle cast? Meaning no disrespect...

Ok, we're getting a little twisty and turny here, and that's my fault for not being clear. I said I thought that JMS and Mumy had a falling out. Probably I'm wrong about that. Let's assume for sure I *am* wrong about that. That still doesn't mean that JMS couldn't have changed his mind about...

Actually, it was like the Dresden orchestra, or something like that, wasn't it? Eastern Europe had lots of orchestras that played for tips practically right after the Cold War ended. But yeah, I don't get the synthestra thing for major movies and stuff. TV, sure. Budget. Films? No. I'm no fan...

First of all, Ubik, let me say you have the Coolest. Screen. Name. Ever! At risk of starting a flame war, I've frequently said that the weakest thing about B5 was the music. There are pieces I like: The Season 5 theme, the season 3 theme, that scene when the Gropos are boarding and the Narn...

Hey. On another thread we were talking about whether or not Lannier was always intended to die in the Telepath Wars, or in some other fashion. I agree he was dead by the time of Sleeping In Light, as was Lyta, Londo, and G'kar, but I think he was intended for a bigger, more heroic end than a...
