No, I got tired of the forced humour.

Neither great, nor bad, definitely not inspiring. My only real complaints are some bad dialogue and the fact that at this point the Drakh seem to have lost all of their mystery and menace, they just turn up every so often as token villains but never really pose much of a threat to the Excalibur...

I guess the only way out is to start speculating about upper limits on how far military technology can be pushed. Does a million years really equate to a thousand times a thousand years worth of technological progress, or do you advance in fits and starts and eventually hit a ceiling? Do you...

Yeah, it did seem a little silly that after all that talk of them crushing Vorlons and being anti-life itself their main technological advantage seemed to be that they had shields, which could still be taken down by beam weapons. But they could also control groups of minds telepathically, so...

That's a good point. Technology advances fastest in times of war, especially when the two sides are at a roughly equal level. That was more or less the Shadows' game plan. We have the second world war to thank for the development of radar, microwaves, nuclear power, civilian airflight and even...

The docking bay looks great, and should look even more so in motion. The space scenes so far look great. New York looks very CG to me. Something about the perspective doesn't ring true, and with the funny lighting it reminds me too much of Crackdown on the XBox 360. I really prefer the approach...

Thanks! Page 1 is safe to read if you're wary of spoilers. Page 2 contains a major spoiler, but it's the same one as last time.

And more Lost Tales please..

For the JMS commentaries specifically (2 episodes per season), ie. excluding the cast commentaries, they are on: S1 discs 4 & 6 S2 discs 4 & 6 S3 discs 3 & 6 S4 discs 5 & 6 S5 discs 5 & 6 Some of the TV movies have them as well, depending on your region.

So people want attention to detail, a professional and competent marketing campaign, a well-designed website that everyone can access, some indication that the guys in suits understand and 'get' the show, rather than just viewing it as an inexpensive cash cow.. Wait.. we are still talking about...

I quite like it, it doesn't seem like a bad effort for a show that's been on hiatus for eight years now, and B5 has always had a raw edge to its look. Besides, I still remember what it looked like in the good old days (circa 1997): http://web.archive.org/web/19970418095156/http://www.babylon5.com/

Yes, it was notorious then as well (it goes back a couple of hundred years): (from this site: http://www.mywestend.co.uk/westend/community-history-soho.htm) Jack the Ripper was 1888 mainly around Whitechapel and Spitafields in the East End. Harrisford Lane, where Sebastian said he resided...

As a former Londoner I feel obliged to point out that the centre of London's sex industry is Soho, which is very much in the West End. In fact it would almost have been a more logical place for Jack the Ripper to have operated..

The bipulmonary system error still annoys me.. I don't think I'd have confidence in Franklin doing any kind of surgery on me if he can't tell the difference between a heart and a lung.. :D

I think I agree with this actually, as far as BtDatL is concerned. Because it isn't really a standalone episode but a linking episode in the midst of a lot of epic ongoing arcs, it's easy to overlook the fact that when considered in isolation it is pretty poor. It's like isolating a five minute...

There were lots of episodes with modified openings that may or may not have made it to some editions of the DVDs (I think they just copied and pasted one episode's opening to all the others for each season). Season 1: Ko'Dath was credited on Born to the Purple in place of Na'Toth (actually...

I agree that it does have some truly horrible dialogue, although I do find some positives in it, like the battle with the shadow-modified destroyers. And let's not forget there is some okay dialogue, like Garibaldi's 'yeah, I got a receipt from the psi-corps certifying my brain was dry cleaned'...

The original version was also released in the UK on VHS, under the title 'feature length pilot episode', but I reckon you'd need a UK VHS player and a PAL TV to view it. I think both versions are equally good (or should that be bad?). From the original, I enjoy the blocky effects shots, the...

That's interesting. Obviously his name changed (although nobody ever actually called him that in Points of Departure or All Alone in the Night, IIRC, it was only used in the credits). I hadn't noticed him changing caste, but yeah, I guess Kalain does strongly imply that he's religious caste...

Does nobody else think that seeing Myriam Sirois get hot and sweaty doing that makes for some pretty sweet eye-candy? Is that just me? Oh well... :)
