    The merits of Byron

    Yep, they were not well-drawn charactors, by and large. The whole plot line seemed hasty and contrived, and the charactorizations matched the rest of the plot line. I blame the death and sudden resurrection of Season 5: JMS simply didn't have the time to think it all through and make the...

    I think it was originally Santiago Stadium but was renamed Clarke Park. The second name has become unpopular for some reason...

    Well, . . Got my Season 5 dvd. . .

    Re: Well, . . I got MY Season 4 dvd. . . Its a Region 2 thing. WB UK has control of R2 (or at least UK) releases for WB, and they figured as long as they are changing "color" to "colour" and "aluminum" to "aluminium" they may as well change the packaging as well! :lol:

    JMS interview at IGN

    Agreed that if the script required additional shooting it cannot have been done already. However, if it is using something already shot, then, as one might say, "the clue is in the can," or, to put it another way, "'in the can' is the clue." I don't know how to interpret this, nor am I...

    JMS interview at IGN

    Kaleb, you seem to be ignoring the possibility that the deal was signed, sealed, delivered AND COMPLETED. I am not saying that JMS has stated this, but you seem to be arguing that your is the ONLY interpretation, and I am saying that you are incorrect. If the clue really was "in the can" then...

    JMS interview at IGN

    He has already said the new project is finished ("in the can")? Where was that?

    JMS interview at IGN

    "In the can" means that it is done, not that it is going to happen. Don't know exactly how to interpret this, but that is what it means (if, indeed, that is what he was saying). Not ridiulous, just curious, no?

    The merits of Byron

    Re: Cutting Byron from season 5 I was thinking about why I don't like the episodes with Byron in them very much, and I decided that it was because the events are so predictable. The only thing I can think of that Byron did unexpectedly was give Bo a peek inside the mindset of the Starfury pilots.

    ElScorcho, I think you hit the nail on the head. I just finished the second book, and it IS a bit weaker, mostly because all of the real surprises have been triggered, but still very decent, indeed. Too bad the series wasn't finished, considering the crap that gets published daily. Three...

    Well, . . Got my Season 5 dvd. . .

    Yeah, BB says he has started watching the show on DVD, but clearly wasn't up to the current episode. It's a hoot as they all try to remember the name "the Drakh." It's a good cast commentary. No Doyle. I was hoping for more emotion for JMS on his commentary, but he held up pretty well...

    Well, . . Got my Season 5 dvd. . .

    Funny about that. I had my DVDs from Amazon delivered yesterday. All five disks were firmly in place, for the first time.

    JMS interview at IGN

    So you are suggesting that "can" is not the opposite of "can't?" Why is that ridiculous? Or, more specifically, why is "Cannes" being the opposite of "can't" less ridiculous? It is all just speculation, none of it more "ridiculous" than any other (so long as you follow the rules). I would...

    PsiNet was the "front" organization for the PsiCops. Something happened to them, forget exactly why they went on the "path of sorrows."

    Point of No return Question ??

    I stand with KF and CE - Londo's greatest fear was to lose control and be a puppet, and the keeper was thus his greatest fear. Just saw the ep with JMS's commentary, and that was what he focussed on towards the end - that Londo was terrified of the keeper but wouldn't show it. Further, Londo...

    The merits of Byron

    Re: Cutting Byron from season 5 Agree completely. I don't think he was MEANT to be a likable charactor. His story was MEANT to be "tragic" from the beginning, and much of the tragedy was to be laid at the door of his own failings. The "likeable" telepaths get killed because he vastly...

    The merits of Byron

    Re: Cutting Byron from season 5 Tell that to the Birmingham civil rights demonstrators. You cannot successfully publicize a cause unless you can demonstrate that it is a serious problem to a large number of people, and that involves the risk of having "the dogs" set on you. Remember that...

    The merits of Byron

    Re: Cutting Byron from season 5 True, which would make the argument that Byron hadn't personally helped a supportable one. However, that says nothing about anyone in his "group" which is why I am saying that it is a non-argument to state that no one in Byron's "group" ever helped fight the...
