Actually it seems JMS has said a few things about it. Specifically he's said a couple of times that the three primary languages on B5 are English, Centauri and Interlac, and these are the three languages that are seen on the signs in the docking area. I would guess that most of the characters...

It's a really interesting question. I guess the ambassadors and aides on B5 will communicate in their own languages among themselves and in English with each other, since fluency in English would be part of their job description. For example, I expect Vir and Lennier are speaking English when...

Hmmm.. Planet Earth (3 times), the Queen, Casino Royale, Last King of Scotland. Long live British cultural imperialism..! :) :) Just kidding.. :D

There's only one Rangers movie. 'Legend of the Rangers' would have been the title of the whole series, if it had gone to series, 'To Live and Die in Starlight' was the actual installment, since it would have served as the pilot episode.

I like Tricia Helfer, so I'd be happy too..

And don't forget Lieutenant J.G. David Corwin! :)

OMG..! Does anyone know over what period the rankings are calculated? Does it need to sell the same volume again every day to retain that position?

The next bit of news I'm looking for is word that the blogs have been posted online and where to find them. That and Part 2 of the feature on that CG website, if it shows up. Oh, and hopefully the news that the pre-orders have been so massively successful that a second installment has been...

Not to mention Corwin is always 'Lieutenant' and never 'Mr. Corwin'.. Then of course there's 'Mr. Garibaldi' and 'Mr. Allen' (has a better ring to it than 'Chief Warrant Officer' I suppose).

It's not just Lennier and Spock, anyone remember Star Trek II, where everyone refers to Saavik as Mr. Saavik despite her being a Vulcan and female? [Edit:] Actually I think what it probably means is that Sheridan has unconsciously promoted Lennier to the rank of Lieutenant, since he's the guy...

I agree that it's stupid, but just to play devil's advocate, maybe the policy of never retreating for any reason has migrated over from the Minbari warrior caste and hasn't yet been revised for the current state of affairs? Where you have one third of a planet's population devoted to training...

I think the figure that really says it all is: Babylon 5: Arithmetic mean = 8.8 (1,605 votes) I think that's about right - somehow none of the movies seemed to manage to rise as high as the standards that had already been set within the series itself. Partly I think it may just be that they...

Great news! With luck, the floodgates will open soon, and there'll be no shortage of material for this thread.. I still can't get my head around the fact there's a complete new unseen installment of B5 out there. How long has it been since it was possible to say that? :)

But you can just about tell, at the end of in In the Beginning when Londo turns the TV on and they happen to be showing a rerun of War Without End, that he doesn't have a beard there either..

Should be interesting to see what KoshN posts when we actually get to the TLaDiS episode discussion..

Yeah, but I wasn't thinking specifically about that, I also enjoy watching the music and the effects advance gradually over time (another reason I like to watch them in the order they were released) and the special edition of the Gathering mixes up that progression as well. For example, the...

I always just forget about watching them chronologically and instead watch them in the order they were made, ie. the Gathering before S1 (although that's complicated a bit by the special edition), In the Beginning and then Thirdspace after S4 (although they were filmed the other way round, they...

I think what disappointed me most was that I wanted to see a movie involving that 2263 B5 crew that was hinted at in Objects in Rest - Captain Lochley, Lieutenant Corwin (surely that should be Commander Corwin by now?), Dr Hobbes, Narn Ambassador Ta'Lon, Centauri Ambassador Cotto, Security Chief...

That is also the episode where the marines from the breaching pod burn through the wall, when really they should have burned through the floor (not to say that they couldn't have burned through the floor first, then burned through a bulkhead or two out of spite).
