Agreed, it's an amusing site. For any West Wing fans here, they have named Zoe's boyfriend Pierre Escargoaway.

Just checking the Lurker's Guide and notice he has posted that Season 2 DVDs will be out on April 29th. That's good news.

Another thing that will help with the DVDs is that many people are just now buying their DVD players. Suddenly video tapes have almost disappeared but people who already have most of their favorite shows on tape will be looking for something new in the DVD line. Not everybody can afford to...

The boys in TNG and DS9 both changed the most by virtue of growing seven years older during their late teens. Also Data changed as he tried to become more human, and his appearance changed if you check out the first episode against the final episode you can see quite a change. I thought all...

Re: The date of \"The Gathering\" Does anyone but me think it is amazing that here we are discussing the finer points of a tv pilot that first saw the light of day more than 10 years ago. It makes you realize once again what a wonderful universe JMS created and how lucky we are to have seen it...

Too bad he couldn't have lived long enough to see the Peter Jackson version of LOTR. I wonder if he would have been pleased with the result.

Re: The date of \"The Gathering\" I have just checked my copy of The Shadow Within and the front page has the date November, 2256. When the story begins, Anna Sheridan is in her lab studying the strange artifact which starts the ball rolling before the Icarus takes off to find Z'ha'dum. About...

This happens to be my favorite of the new shows and I was beginning to wonder if it had disappeared into oblivion. However, I see there is to be a new episode next Friday, and I read in a tv column that it has been renewed for the full season. That is good news as far as I am concerned. I'm...

It's hard to remember exactly what JMS said, but it is my impression that Claudia would have played a much more important role in Year 5. He certainly indicated that her telepathic abilities would come into play through her association with Byron. ln the beginning she would just be trying to...

i seem to remember reading that story about G'Kar. Can you tell me which magazine it was carried in?

I've just read Antony's new article and have to agree with the points he makes. SciFi genre TV is in a pretty poor shape right now. There will be almost nothing left when Farscape ends. I don't think there is any quick solution because the networks really want a "sure thing" when they invest...

JMS has stated several times that if Claudia Christian had not left the show she would have been the one that inspired romantic feelings in Byron. I just wondered if JMS would have used the same dialogue if Byron was trying to woo Ivanova. Would she have been impressed with the willow tree...

I haven't checked Amazon.com prices but since I live in Canada I was checking prices for Year One and came across chapters.indigo.ca and found the set listed for $76.51, Canadian funds. I know Antony is committed to Amazon.com but this sale price seems very reasonable if anyone is interested.

I always assumed that when Sheridan went beyond the rim that he became immortal. Apart from the First Ones we don't really know of any others who have gone beyond the rim. I always hoped that when the time came Delenn would follow Sheridan and rejoin him. Since it is all fictional, I can...

A true masterpiece has to stand the test of time. I think Babylon 5 will do that but some of us may not be here to find out. Also, because it is a television show it will depend on whether the technology lasts (videos and DVDs). There are very few real movie masterpieces after 100 years...

IF JMS had known the series would be renewed for Season 5 in time to finish Season 4 the way he wanted to, it is possible Ivanova would not have left. However, given what did happen, I think JMS did very well bringing in Lochley. Also,I would have reduced the Byron segment by half and given...

Delenn was going to be androgenous or masculine during the whole first season until Chrysalis. It was partly the inability to get the voice right that brought about the decision to make the change, which IMO was certainly an improvement. I think there is quite a good writeup about this in...

I remember now the episode in Year 4 where Delenn goes out in a White Star to find the marauder ships and when Lennier tries to contact them he says "they aren't using Interlac, they are speaking Minbari" I'm sorry I can't remember the name of the episode. But I can see it very clearly in my mind.

Sorry for the garbled message above. I meant to edit it but it got away from me. Can anyone remember where language is discussed in one of the early episodes, or do we just assume that the aliens all learned English?

I have often wondered who everyone of every nationality speaks English on Babylon 5. Star Trek has its universal translator but we are left to assume that officers can communicate with all the Ambassadors of every race. Ivanova studied Minbari late in the third year so she could Captain the...
