I think I agree with you guys about the length.. If TLT is the runaway success we all know it will be, and runs to 50+ installments, then of course it won't matter. :) However given what happened with Crusade, LotR, TMoS, and in fact every attempted B5 renaissance since B5 itself, there's got...

I had the episode on the VHS release before In the Beginning was made, and I don't remember it being any different. I think having watched the scene that it looks like the line might have been added over Ivanova's cutaway after filming, in which case it would have been to clarify the plot point...

The trapdoor was always there for Marcus to come back and rejoin the cast of either spinoff if necessary, however badly it may have undermined the drama of his sacrifice (remember Spock?) at least until that canon short story about him was written (maybe even then). Franklin would have been...

It definitely has repercussions, since he would be a serious threat to Londo's legitimacy as Emperor. As this would put his life in danger, perhaps he's come to Sheridan for sanctuary? And perhaps Sheridan has a hard time believing that the Londo he knew would sanction murder? So perhaps Galen...

Had some time just now, so dug out this post on JMSnews from 29th Oct 1999:

I am pretty sure, although can't remember how I got this impression, that the rangers idea was dropped from Crusade because TNT wanted another season of B5, and when they didn't get it they pushed for Crusade to be a new, self-contained show with as few direct references as possible to events in...

Another (presumably intentional) outcome is that the 15th volume itself becomes an extremely rare and desirable collectible - both because of its content, and as however successful the promotion is only a very small number of people are likely going to pay the $420 for the first 14, so that it's...

Assuming it is simply a dream, could it be some kind of warning from Galen about Prince Regent Vintari? Speaking of whom, isn't that a picture of the Prince Regent in a Starfury? What is he doing there? Is Sheridan chasing him? Does he take after his Dad? Does he have a keeper? What's the...

The Vorlon seen briefly with Rathenn on Minbar in War Without End pt1 - I assume then that's Ulkesh in his ambassadorial role, despite his translator flashing differently? I was never sure if that was supposed to be him or a random Vorlon..

It always struck me that JCB seemed to be wearing almost as much facial makeup as Guinevere Corey in There All the Honor Lies as she did as Na'Toth in S1 - I guess that may be because her skin was still recovering at that point, even after that much time.. I would guess when these actresses say...

I guess the main setting would have been Minbar? Otherwise it sounds almost more like a direct continuation (season 6?) than a spin-off. It sounds good though.. TNT were holding out for a sixth season, IIRC, maybe this was pitch was a compromise?

I would've liked to see that Minbari Warrior caste character. I really liked Neroon, and having someone like him stomping around the Excalibur would've been fun. I don't remember any reason being given for Zathras not ending up in there either (although TNT didn't seem too keen on having links...

But it should be possible to override the software.. I played around with some basic rendering software (Imagine 3D) on my Amiga at around that time, and although I can't remember exactly how it handled relative scales, I'm sure the animators may not be averse to moving the scale slider bar of...

Netter Digital did seem to have a 'quantity before quality' attitude, which I seem to remember finding slightly annoying at the time. But actually I think I prefer that they were ambitious and tried to do too much than if they'd held back and polished every shot, even if it did become more hit...

No, I did mean you.. Really love the site!! :) :) I guess it's inevitable that with the models being rebuilt from scratch by another company after so much time some of the internal consistency will be gone, which is a shame, but then I guess we might not be seeing much of these ships anyway...

It does make sense to try to build up momentum again before doing something big like a theatrical movie. But it would certainly help if TLT was actually publicly broadcast.. otherwise it may in effect just be preaching to the converted..

This is an excellent site for B5 ships (hope the owner doesn't mind me plugging it here :) ): http://www.themadgoner.com/TMG/Sci_Fi/SciPages/Babylon5/Front_Page/Mark4_Build.htm The corvette is recognisable by its conning tower on top and the two towers sticking out on either side - the Narn...

Just noticed the red docking bay light and the running lights are off, so it's definitely meant to be a recreation of the SiL scene. Also, as B5_obsessed has pointed out on the jmsnews forum, either the Minbari or the Centauri warship is massively out of scale :D

Quick addendum: just popped the disc in and watched the original scene again, and all these ships are there (including the EA corvette, although it's at the front edge of the screen and quite hard to see). There were some Centauri fighters in the original shot that aren't here, as well as some...

It's an Earth Force corvette, as seen in In the Beginning (in the scene where it and a bunch of Starfuries get blown away during Londo's narration). I don't remember it ever appearing in the series proper. That one is a Narn heavy cruiser, seen from the front. It does have some atmosphere -...
