Remember that he HAD tried a few words in Delenn's ear, had tried nonviolence, and had tried active cooperation (saving the League a war in the process, and saving the entire Enfili people). His time was running out - Bester got to reclaim him and all of his fellow Teeps after the sixty-day...

Re: Cutting Byron from season 5 But what made him a "genius" in his own mind at least was that he had a plan to overcome the influence of the Corps. But how many of the indoctrinated broke through their indoctrination? Not many, it seems. Did the show say he had not asked what they wanted...

Well, in the former he joins many, many of the charactors (I have alweays been a bit pissed off that Bester waited two episodes too long to shut up Efram Zimbalist Jr) but the in latter case you are right, it was an atrocity and I really wish Bester wasn't such a nice guy and had fried him in...

"The clue is in the opposite of can't" translates as "The clue is in the can." Now, "in the can" is a slang term for "completed and ready for release, as a film or scene of a film" (dictionary.com) so this whole statement reads "the clue is completed and ready for release" - which doesn't help...

Re: Severed Dreams Question ?? Chalk this bit up to the Department of Redundency Department. :lol:

Re: Severed Dreams Question ?? My assumptions always were that the lost chances were the Eye (see Signs and Portents) and the decision to follow Lord Refa and not Vir in making war on the Narns (see The Coming of Shadows). This wasn't a part of SD, however. It was part of Point of No Return...

Yeah, and it will be even better when the whole shebang is out. I must admit that two years ago I never would have thought B5 would make it on DVD. I mean, they STILL haven't done Hill Street Blues, for pete's sake! :mad: But they have done some really excellent Dick Van Dyke Show DVDs, and...

I saw a copy of BB's western/scifi cross Frontier Earth in the store the other day (I guess I knew he had written a couple of these but had forgotten about it) and picked it up without much in the way of expectations. I was really quite surprised at how well-written it was, and how detailed the...

I was the one that led us so far off-topic, and I apologize. To make up for it, I will try to get us back on-topic. It seems to me that the writers, effects people, and whatnot pursued an interesting idea in showing people doing things you normally don't see in TV: living their lives (eating...

It could also be that WB f#cked up (wouldn't THAT astonish us! :lol:) and didn't put the "do not shelve before..." sticker on the boxes that shipped the DVDs. I have seen that happen before.

The worst travesty was changing the beautifully named "Candlestick Park" to "3COM stadium." Probably 99% of people don't even know what business 3COM is in (and the other 1% are unlikely to be influenced by a stadium name), so the "advertising" is wasted. It is pure corporate egotism...

Purest conjecture - fun for its own sake if you like that stuff (and as one of the foremost speculators, I clearly do) but ungrounded in any knowledge. Value it according to what you paid for it.

We don't want to get the site sponsers in trouble, so we must always henceforth refer to it as the "ubiquitous FEDEX orange bowl"! [Apologies to non-nordamericano types who are unfamiliar with the corporatization of the US college football system.]

Re: Now HERE\'S something interesting.... Why would you restart a war based on something you don't care about? I suspect that this was going to have something to do with the tension between the warrier caste leaders and the religious caste leaders - that the warriers had only agreed to stop...

If we are pretending that all of this means something, we can hardly blame the oranges bit on a mythical "director" now can we? :lol:

Re: Now HERE\'S something interesting.... I didn't catch that bit the first time I read it! Now THAT would be an interesting line of speculation. Why would the Minbari resume the war if Sinclair found out the truth about the Battle of the Line? I always said this episode was deep!

I was just about to post the "cheap explanation" that the garlic cloves in the Zoc were there for protection against the B5 vampire (and therefor unavailable at any cost) when I saw your post and decided to refrain.

I like the way you think! :lol: Doesn't explain how Cochise survived all those years, long enough to become a Technomage, but maybe he was visiting Sebastion when the Vorlons knocked on the door.

Now HERE\'S something interesting.... If you go to the Michael O'Hare web site you can find an early script for And the Sky Full of Stars written before all the cast changes between the pilot and the series. The story actually played out quite differently in the final version, though the...

Good catch. I thought he meant BB was from Kansas, but BB is from Illinois (I just found out by googling). That still doesn't tell us where Sheridan was when he was smelling the orange blossoms at age twelve - Kansas doesn't seem like a "fit" to me somehow! :D But I agree that you have...
