Wise. And thanks for the Gateworld thing. For some reason, this time I really don't fancy doing the usual rounds of spamming forums about the news!?

I hate it when others start sentences like this. . . . . But I’ve got a vague memory :) That Marshal Teague did see it when it was published on the behind the scenes facebook page a few years ago, and made a comment about the weight of the suit (something like 50-70 pounds) . . . I might be...

Only took three years, but that’s B5Scrolls back up – and as always the whole thing is downloadable for free with no strings attached. Lots of new material scattered around the place. http://www.b5scrolls.com/ There’s a couple of gaps in the animations in the mode screens (which now include...

Before my time as a B5 fan – knew it existed but never seen the thing. Saying that, those are some pretty old and (these days largely) obscure file types being used on the disc. Mostly developed in relation to old game engines if memory serves. Would be interesting to drag out one of the old...

Yeah, the original models still exist. At least many of them still do.

Ohhhh . .there’s a few such channels like that on youtube covering ship designs including those on Babylon 5, and they can be pretty difficult to listen to most of the time. But then again, that in-universe type stuff isn't an area I'm interested in. The one that comes to mind is Fleet Yards –...

Sure, whatever (and yeah, I’ve said, and shown – and still maintain - that online there was/is way too much credit being handed to jms for things he had basically nothing to do with). But I thought I was talking about visual FX not being on film and John Copeland talking complete crap (and why...

You’ve no idea. :) And yeah, in many ways I really wish I never started that learning exercise in how to code up a basic web page. You can most certainly learn too much, and it can be a bad thing especially if you make the mistake of telling fans who believe something else (It’s why - after...

Yeah, he’s lying in some attempt to cover his backside, and it’s a pretty outrageous (and rather silly and unnecessary) thing to do at this point. When putting B5Scrolls together we talked about the split as well and all I’ll say about that is he didn't dare to try and come out with that sort...

Deliberately?! Interesting viewpoint. OK. I can accept the possibility that I’m misinterpreting what is quoted in the 1999 article which indicates he wasn’t interesting in working to notes in the first five episodes. and I’m also open to what jms asserted, that the article writer just got...

……. OK. jms says the article – including those quotes it contains - got it wrong. That it was the last 5 scripts rather than the first 5 as stated in the article. I obviously didn’t make it clear, the opinions I have are rarely based on just one thing. For example, here’s a couple of...

Semantics, and arguable, and doesn’t invalid the point. He was digging his heals in, refusing to even discuss the notes for the first five episodes provided by those who were forking out millions to make the thing. Now you can say that was courageous or even ethically the right thing to do...

Warner Bros. Home Video division were the ones who put the money up for The Lost Tales – as mentioned in the interview with John Copeland. jms has unequivocally said on more than one occasion if there’s any new Babylon 5 produced it has to include him or it doesn’t happen. This seems to be...

jms’s take on the events surrounding Crusade is just that, his take on events. They’re also the version of events most folks know about with nothing from the “other side”. But reading over an article that was published around the time which included something from someone at TNT, it’s not so...

That’s exactly how I viewed the change in the CGI stuff – long before ever talking to anyone who worked on the show. At first it looked pretty good but got progressively worse as time went on, or at least included more an more mistakes. I don’t know the details, but I feel a potential lack of...

By the time you got to Crusade the FX were being produced by Netter Digital. There was some beautiful stuff made for Crusade but there was a lot of truly terribly put together shots as well – full of silly mistakes and inconsistencies. Basically the balance (and talent) that had existed in the...

Someone got hold of the alpha demo of Into the Fire…... ….. and has made it available for download! Seems it’s held in an ISO file as it’s a direct copy of the demo CD that was doing the rounds at some cons back in the day. Can be played on even windows 7...

Found it funny that the much better looking seated version (with the extra limbs and potentially animatronics and operators) was considered unsuitable because it would cause issues if N’Grath had to walk around. As it turned out the standing version never really moved anyway, and jms decided to...

New section on the alien prosthetics (NOT part of the download version yet). Interesting interview with Jim McPherson who designed and sculpted N’Grath, along with (as always) some new previously unseen photos, sketches and even video now. Hope to be adding more over the coming months...

Quite a few of the developers used to hang around over at firstones.com who were following the development of the game quite closely. So much so that when it went tits up they created a mirror of the Sierra website. Some of the members also had a copy of the fully playable demo that was...
