S5 Deleted Scenes/History of ATTN JMS Agreed on rastb5m protocol, which actually predates rastb5m. For anyone interested in this historical record, there's this message from the Lurker's Guide's archive of Usenet posts: Certainly Usenet is quieter than it was back in the day, but I've never...

Re: IGN\'s S5 Review... Not sure I agree there. I'm glad S5 got made, because there are a handful of rather good episodes in it. But I do think the quality of the writing declined a bit overall, and I also think that season 5 was as much a prologue to future stories as it was an epilogue to...

Yep, and the same thought occurred to me. The script has the latrine duty bit in it, but no mention of the pike or the helmet. I'm guessing that's an extra flourish the director threw in. Damn directors, always mucking with the writer's vision . . . :)

Ooh, I like that idea very much. Best I had been able to come up with was that it was intended to be Byron's somehow, since it was filmed before Christian left the series. But your idea is much better.

I guess it's possible that if that had been included there'd have been some kind of additional sound added. I just took it as a little nod to what G'Kar said about a part of everyone still being inside the station, and setting up Zack's line about hearing the voices. And J, yeah, I certainly...

I liked Sheridan's long walk down the corridor, but there really wasn't much need for it. I'm glad the commander in bed thing wasn't used - the "surprised by arriving commander/dignitary" thing got used too much. The latrine duty gag was definitely too much. Whose helmet was that at the end of...

Hey Joe. In November, Straczynski posted this on Usenet: And there hasn't been any subsequent word of which I'm aware.

I tend to think he was giving himself some flexibility - a trap door in reverse, in case he decided he had some use for the character. (I remember the "if there's a fifth season, you're frozen" line making the rounds pretty early.) And if he never did, then the impact of the cryo-frozen "mostly...

Re: \"Deconstruction\" commentary There's one more very good reason for the commentary on "Deconstruction." Whether you like the episode or not, there's the most to explain with this ep, and thus a greater likelihood that the commentary will be informative in some way. With this commentary...

Re: Marcus Cole When the WB folks were interviewing fans at the San Diego Con for the DVD featurette, one of the questions they asked at the end of the interview was 'Marcus Cole: Dead or Frozen?' I'm guessing this Easter egg is what they had in mind.

I agree with just about everything you say, Joe, but didn't JMS at least say he liked the new sets and uniforms? I seem to recall many fans sure did -- Gideon's bellhop comment at the end of 'Appearances' was something of a nod to that reaction. Me, I like the black uniforms -- not enough that...

Another thing is, the WB is a separate entity from WB Television Production, and the various arms of WB tend to sometimes keep each other at arm's length. This is particularly an issue in the case of B5-related stuff, because Babylon 5 was once one of the shows on Prime Time Entertainment...

Call to Arms was a lead-in, but not a pilot per se. If I recall the timeline correctly, TNT was already sold on Crusade, and then they decided to do a B5 movie to lead into it. It wasn't like Gathering or To Live and Die in Starlight, where a network was looking to make a decision on whether...
