In my case, that's only true in the sense that what I was expecting (or, more accurately, what I was hoping for) was something somehow new, exciting, or surprising, and the Hand were not that. The Hand had the same 'going back to the well' feeling that season 5 of B5 had for me. If people like...

Well, then, I'll go back to the original question. I DO think the Hand was a mistake, creatively and 'tactically,' even though I enjoyed the movie and think Rangers deserves to be a series on its own merits. My message board surfing isn't as extensive as yours, Joe, and I haven't done a...

Well, you're right, it COULD be an elaborate swerve, but here's something of a turnaround question: if TWS have an agenda in wanting to keep the Liandra alive, why tip off the Liandra to that, and risk them destroying themselves in an act of self-sacrifice? This is one of those cases where I...

Shows you how well I paid attention when I read the books. Although I can now recall wondering exactly what the title of the book referred to, that totally slipped my mind and I was mentally inserting another tower to Saruman's lair. Sheesh. I am not having a good day. Thanks for the...

Are you referring to the point where the minion says 'Release him to us, and you may leave this place unharmed? This solution is preferable to the ones we serve'? Again, that scene seems to me that the Hand are prepared to make a quid pro quo if that's what's necessary to get Kafta back alive...

In fairness, all the comics types JMS has dealt with so far have taken the 'write what you want, Joe, and we'll print it' approach, which was the farthest thing from what he encountered during Crusade. It certainly would not surprise me to hear he got a few extra hours' sleep in the process...

Gotcha. Makes sense. (We need a UBB symbol for a light bulb appearing over the head.) And when it comes right down to it, whether it makes a whit of difference to the series or not, Sci Fi deserves to hear a word of thanks for reviving B5 at all. ------------------ Dave Thomer This Is Not News

Thanks for the link -- I have to say, I liked the line in the pilot issue that said that the Two Towers would be digitally removed from the next Lord of the Rings movie. Nice bit of commentary in that one line. (The line about JMS and the Silmarillion was also a winner.) ------------------...

Well, there was the whole concept that the Hand reward loyalty, which is why they wanted Kafta alive in the first place despite the dubious tactical nature of THAT decision. Maybe they *were* actually inclined to reward the Liandra for working with them. ------------------ Dave Thomer This Is...

I have been reading the other threads, but didn't get that overall impression. (I do recall one 'if you didn't watch the movie because of football, say so' comment that I think came from you, Joe, but I honestly did not recall that sentiment being more widespread.) Sorry. The vibe I was...

Just to add a little follow up to the comics info on Lyta's site: I'm pretty sure that the Price of Peace book that collects issues 1-4 and 11 of the original American B5 comic (the Sinclair murder arc and the Psi Corps propaganda booklet) is the only one available in the US. The rest of the...

Call me crazy and/or unduly negative -- but if the message we're trying to get across is that the East Coast numbers are skewed, wouldn't it be good to try and find people who did not watch the first airing of the movie because of football but intend to watch a series? I mean, I know every...

Actually, given the switch in effects companies from Foundation Imaging to Netter Digital, I'd be willing to bet that the material wasn't lost until after the end of Crusade, when things looked darkest for B5's future and there wasn't an immediate reason to keep them handy. I'm pretty sure that...
