I think your right, I can’t remember any on screen sequences or dialogue indicating that the Black Omega fighters were particularly stealthy. The only reference I know of is the jms quote shown above - and it's been repeated on various reference sites. But maybe it appears in one of the novels...

If I read it right the Black Omega Squadron set up by Bester for the telepaths are the stealth furies. Going by the date of this the first appearance would be the season 1 episode with ironheart in it (Mind Wars!! – can’t remember the title). http://www.jmsnews.com/msg.aspx?id=1-14228 The...

Was the Lost Tales a failure? I know many folks had problems with it and things like LoTR, though if we’re being honest, a good deal of those complaints revolved around the quality of the writing. Personally I didn’t view TLT negatively (either story), and the indications were it made money...

To say that “it’s not up to him” isn’t exactly accurate. Neither is the idea that Warner are the only ones who can decide on there being new B5 content. He’s pointed out a few times that Warner have approached him about new ideas – some fell through (apparently) some he didn’t like and vetoed...

I know most folks haven’t read through B5Scrolls – and that’s most likely down to the colour scheme and layout – which is understandable (but a major undertaking to change at this point as I’ve moved on). But John Copeland did touch on the reason why it is unlikely to get a detailed...

You read it!! I think I need to hide it better. ; ) I’m with you. I liked jms’s work. His level of determination, skill, imagination, flexibility and sheer energy is bordering on the inspirational. The rant, is just a rant. It may look like it to some, but it’s not (intentionally at...

Hi, It’s been around a year since the last update to B5scrolls, so this one is a bit overdue. Though like the title says, this is likely to be the last one – even though there’s still things to add to it. http://themadgoner.com/B5/B5Scrolls/B5Scrolls.htm As I gave up trying to keep track of...

And why does that annoy you. An insignificant minority of sci-fi fans. You compared them to (religious) fundamentalists – and I can see the similarities. And you do of course know who usually reacts to fundamentalists, who hold up their extreme views to demonstrate x, y or z . . . . . . ...

This is a strange topic. I’m Scottish, live in Scotland and more than half the people I know own the full series of Babylon 5 on DVD. The issue of being a Trek fan or whatever else doesn’t come into it. Mind you, neither does the idea of being a sci-fi fan or not. They range (literally) from...

Check the links page on B5scrolls. That’s should get you to a few of them. (Need to update that actually.) http://themadgoner.com/B5/B5Scrolls/B5Scrolls.htm#Screen4_01_1 Tim Earls also has a site these days, a link to it is on here...

Hi, Never read the novels and the like so can’t help with that personally. Sorry if I sounded a bit snappy with the earlier comments, spending so much time talking with some of the others involved with that aspect of the show (seeing what they did) has made me . . . . . overly sensitive to...

Well, not to put to fine a point on it you may want to do a bit more research into the subject yourself. The Babylon 5 television series that is. I know jms has put no small effort into becoming the public face of the show, but he wasn’t the only creative talent behind it. I found your...

. . . . . . . . . . . . now that you mention it, yeah, he did seem a bit like that.

Don’t know. What I’m looking for is opinions on whether it is something that is worth putting the effort into. I know ‘ripped off’ is in the title but do you honestly think (given who the contributors to the site are) I’d do that. It will be a bloody and most likely futile effort to get...

I have a hypothetical question for everyone who is likely to read this thread. A fair few of you will know the ‘fan site’ I put together for Babylon 5. It’s a long work in progress – a hobby. One of the reasons why it is so factually based with interviews and the like is because, as a...

It’s not a Ranger helmet. They didn’t wear any . . . . . wore hoods sometimes. The red thing was part of the armour worn by the attacking troops of an unknown (at least unnamed race) that was boarding the station. Season 5 episode “ A View from the Gallery”. It's the only episode the race...

You just made those up. : ) [edit] Just as a quick aside, seeing how this thread has wondered off in various directions. On the site; the ‘interview’ with Jack Nichols has been temporarily removed (it and others from folks who didn’t actually work on the show itself will be shunted into a...

Yeah, guilty. Good call, thanks. I read over the thing every now and then and still keep finding typo’s, spelling mistakes, wonderfully imaginative grammer and incorrect references. Just changed that one. You hear it all the time, though I’d guess it’s down to familiarity more than anything...

Nope, that’s regional pronunciation. Like Warwickshire – with or without the silent small w, a bit like good old Fenwick. In the UK (as your probably aware) sceptic is spelled with a C rather than K. Why? Don’t know – don’t care. Though there are some belly button watchers who do enjoy...

Sceptical. SCEPTICAL. Seriously though, three copies of the model were used in the scene. I’ve linked to two quick (and nasty looking) screen grabs below. http://themadgoner.com/B5/B5Scrolls/Pic2.jpg http://themadgoner.com/B5/B5Scrolls/Pic1.jpg You have to look at the full sequence of them...
