    Still lovin' it

    Re: Still lovin\' it Exactly. The reason the show grabs you is because it is about a few central truths that are ignorable only at great cost... but which, even if not ignored, STILL exert a cost. The show didn't strive for a happy ending, merely a satisfyingly honest one. I think only...

    A new JMS message and hint 4/29

    That "parallel universe" was the one where he said See Prevue magazine's interview while filming. This sounds like a bit of boasting about a long-planned procedure to me... of course, in your parallel universe things may be different. Link, please? Or did JMS tell you this? And have you...

    A new JMS message and hint 4/29

    RS, I can understand your concerns, especially re: TLotRangers. Unlike Crusade, TLotR had no excuses of studio interference, and yet it was worse than Crusade. Some of the things JMS was so proud of beforehand (e.g. the kickboxing weapons console) were some of the worst things about the show...

    A new JMS message and hint 4/29

    And he will say "B5:TMoS has already started. It is too late for the fans to vote." :lol:

    It's (semi)Official: Babylon 5 FEATURE FILM!

    Re: It\'s (semi)Official: Babylon 5 FEATURE FILM! You have obviously never heard of "Depends Undergarments." They make them in three sizes: "small," "medium," "large," and "B5 Fan."

    DVD Actor Commentaries

    Absolutely agree. I think the best commentary was by Boxleitner, Doyle, and Christian. They got into a bit of hijinks, but they also had a lot of interesting things to say. Doyle's stock of interesting things to say was tapped out at that point, and I think he tried too hard to think of...

    A new JMS message and hint 4/29

    Sorry, brainfart. I meant "the coming of the shadows" in Signs and Portents. That is JUST such a cool, and totally unexpected, scene. A true "What the F**K is THAT?" scene.

    A new JMS message and hint 4/29

    Indeed, it would be interesting to find out what percentage of DVDs have been sold via word of mouth or demonstration to non-fans since they started out. I have "sold" three sets just by making people sit down and watch a selected set of eps (the main arc ones) from season 1. Hell, the final...

    IGN's S5 Review...

    Re: IGN\'s S5 Review... I tend to agree that Season 5 is only disappointing if your expectations are based on an impossible extension of Season 4. Five was just icing on the cake - it finished off the story arc elements that didn't get treated in the rush to end things at Four, plus some bits...

    B5: TMoS - My thoughts

    That has been my assumption: that he was told to knock it off. I imagine WB has been getting a surge of phone calls and emails every time he opens his mouth, and that they got kinda tired of it. Just a guess, though - maybe they loved getting the responses but he is just too busy "clearing...

    B5: TMoS - My thoughts

    If "Minority Report" with every familiar SF cliche it could muster included could gross $342,000,000 I think a telepath war could do well enough. especially as there are some potential nice twists in it. My concern is more about whether JMS can write a sustained two hours worth of story and...

    Still lovin' it

    Re: Still lovin\' it I still watch it because there are still things that I haven't caught yet. Just a month or so ago I finally "got" the line in Soul Hunter where Delenn says to Sinclair "I knew you would come." She is talking to Sinclair as Valen (whom she saw in a temple on Minbar as a...

    Season 5 Deleted Scenes

    Didn't see this before I wrote the post above on helmets. You have a very good eye - the design is the same as Sinclair's helmet and like none of the others I have found yet.

    Season 5 Deleted Scenes

    I don't think that's a black omega, I think that's just a trick of vision based on traditional patch shape. I just cannot see people making squadron patches for a supersecret organization! :lol: Could be that "Phobos Wing" was the cover story for the Black Omegas, though, and then the BO...

    Season 5 Deleted Scenes

    Looking at the picture more closely on the DVD, I think you are correct. The General Ivanova helmet seems to have a raised center ridge, which none of the others do. It also appears to be uniformly silver-grey except for the painted pattern, and not striped (the "striping" is a trick of the...

    B5: TMoS - My thoughts

    I don't see why the Teepwar couldn't be made to appeal to a non-B5 fan. Many movies have two sets of fans: those who have seen the series (or genre) in other forms, and those who are just there to watch a stand-alone good flick. The Wrath of Khan worked both as a sequel to a TV episode and as...

    Season 5 Deleted Scenes

    I assumed right off the bat it was her helmet, and still think so. The "Phobos Wing" patch looks a lot like a fighter squadron patch, and she certainly served in a squadron somewhere before she got to B5. I would guess from its prominant place that this was the patch of the fighter squadron...

    JMS interview at IGN

    I don't think this is all that likely, but it s certainly very plausable. If they are announcing a series or film, they will want something appearing on the screen, and that "intro" vidoe might very well be what is "in the can" if that is the correct interpretation of the clue. A little bit of...

    Did "Passing Through Gethsemane" change Garibaldi?

    Re: Did \"Passing Through Gethsemane\" change Garibaldi? I always thought the episode ended on an interesting note of uncertainty: how heartfelt WAS that handshake? It was a fascinating episode. That, and A Late Delivery... were my two favorite non-arc episodes.

    The Illusion of Truth

    Yep. I always thought that the unspoken message of the show was delivered by Sheridan and Delenn, not by Randall. Randall was a political hack, obeying the orders of other political hacks. Knowing that was highly likely the case, Sheridan still allowed "the enemy" and chance to see behind the...
