He did, honestly. Remember the Liandra was an old ship that was apparently haunted, and was even going to be ‘alive’ to some degree, apparently it was going to have a personality. The Valen was a new design to show co-operation between Minbari & Humans, and the flying brick thing wasn’t a...

Pretty irrelevant (to this argument at least). jms made a conscious decision to have things like the ship designs look very different – presumably to show there was more to the B5 ‘verse than had already been seen. One failing that the show didn’t have was a lack of CGI, extras walking about...

The biggest problem for any sequel to overcome – movie, tv show or comic – is the expectations of the viewer. There is none, or very little, for the original but a follow-up has an immense uphill struggle to prove itself in it’s own terms – a child in the shadow of a famous parent.. Saying...

Sorry I just realised I cleared out the directory in preparation of starting to upload the new stuff. Here’s a new link so you can have an idea how it looks. Any suggestions on how to make it more readable, now would be the time to make them. ; )...

After playing around with things, decided that I’ll put the site back up while converting it over to a new layout AND zip the whole lot together when it’s finally done and offer it as a download for anyone that cares to take it. While doing this I’ll be contacting a few of the contributors so...

Cheers. That answer that.

It was something Ron Thornton was talking about (can’t link to it of course right now). jms’s first idea was to have the ship ‘tractored’ into the station, but it was suggested that it would make a good early opportunity to reinforce the physics do da which Fi introduced in Midnight. So...

I couldn’t afford them. Which is a bit of a bugger. One of the things I wanted to know was what was this about a different version of the Soul Hunter episode being written – basically what was the differences between it and what appeared on screen. It didn’t have anything to do with the...

The actual blessing is made up as far as I know and was a line Harlan Ellison came out with. There’s a fair chance though that it is an amalgam of existing blessings from any number of religions. Though rumour has it, Harlan is pretty familiar with Egyptian lore. I have read that some folks...

Still not decided what to do about the site. I think there are (online) backups but the owner of TMG is busy with real world stuff and getting B5Scrolls back up and running is understandably of low priority. Which is also kind of my situation as well. There’s a variety of new content to be...

Jesus, that’s an old version of the thing. I just noticed the thread a couple down from this one – “Probably the last update to B5Scrolls” . . . . . there’s a joke in there somewhere. :wtf:

I have absolutely no knowledge of what’s involved in setting up forums and ‘sites’ on a host, so have no idea what happened. But from what I can gather it was a general “hack”, but the upshot is that the directories containing B5Scrolls, a Red Dwarf site, Star Trek site and a pile of artwork...

(I’ll just post this on here, as I guess most active B5 fans visit B5tv from time to time) Just a quick note for those that look over the B5Scrolls site. It’s kaput. A few days back someone decided to ‘hack’ the folks who are hosting it, don’t know the details other than it made a bit of a...

Easier said than done without some help unfortunately. Actually that might be unfortunately worded seeing how you said “keep it up, it’s looking good” ; ) The main reason is images though, or the lack there of. One or three per page of interview is a rate I don’t think can be maintained as I...

Possibly. I read over that ‘rant’ quite recently and thought what the hell was I thinking. Reading up on so much of B5 (on-line) did leave an impression, and I wanted to comment on how it felt for me as a newbie. The first example or two is not bad, as is the ‘expert’ on ripping off ships...

Cheers. As it happens I started ‘doodling’ with the thing a couple of days back to see if I could make it a bit easier to read (a few folks mentioned it’s a bit dark). Fell back to the original format (the reason why it’s called B5 Scrolls). Jury is still out if it’s worth the effort, or if...

I have both on DVD (long story), the packaging is identical. There’s a few edits to bring the pilot movie into line with how the story arc (and the Kosh character) developed during the run of the show. Kosh – in the new version - says e’til’za (sp.) when first meeting sinclair (or the asasin...

Completely agree (with everything you just said). All the comments I come out with are more discussion for discussion sake than anything else. The quote you used and the one I did is actually a good example of what I was referring to with regards to never knowing the full picture. In one...

I think we can both/all agree that jms is an artist, a wordsmith, a workaholic, has standards and isn’t afraid to speak his mind. But, he’s also a producer who needs to make a living by selling a product. A point that is worth bearing in mind when reading the actual content of what says. He...

We actually see eye to eye on a lot of things (believe it or not ; ). That warping thing & levels of destruction idea did jump out a bit, as did the whole attack the only race/power that ever stopped the Centauri in the past! ! ! ! ! Eh, when the f*ck did Earth do that – though I admit I’ve...
