    just typical .....

    Even I, who live in Canada, was aware of the tremendous job of advertising done by the SciFi network. I have not yet seen TLaDiS so I can't comment on whether it was good or bad. However, the only thing that matters to the SciFi network is whether it will pay its way. Can they sell enough...

    In the beginning

    I'm really happy to find someone else who liked Thirdspace. It's one of my favorites. However, the main reason I enjoyed ItB was because it tied all the loose threads together. That said, I would advise a newcomer to B5 to wait until after "War Without End" before watching it. There are too...

    First Ones, Second Ones, stragglers, and checkers

    It's an open question and only JMS can really answer. It was my impression that the First Ones were those races who had survived since the distant past (millions of years ago) most of whom had already moved beyond the Rim. This includes the Vorlons and Shadows who remained behind to look after...

    Giants playing Chess

    Is it really necessary for us to put SPOILERS when we're discussing Babylon 5? As someone said, the show ended three years ago. I realize there are still a few newcomers on the SciFi Network but when we're asking hypothetical questions about things that may or may not have happened I find it a...

    JMS and his decision

    I think a younger crew in their mid 20's is about right. Any younger, and they wouldn't have had time to be trained and get posted to a ship. Also, if there should be a series they can all get to be five years older (or some of them can). A few older rangers could always turn up in a...

    What do you think?

    I'm just hoping it will be picked up by a Canadian network because I'd like to see it. ------------------ I always seem to be diagonally parked in a parallel universe.

    A kid's show with Jeremiah's premise?

    Re: A kid\'s show with Jeremiah\'s premise? I caught the beginning of the show on YTV the other night but it was so juvenile (to me) that I turned it off fast. I'm sure it is aimed at young viewers whereas Jeremiah is an adult show. The characters are about 26 years old (10 years after the...

    Doyle answers 10 questions (and a little B5 talk, too)

    IIRC it was TNT who wanted a sixth season, as well as some of the actors. JMS came up with Crusade as an alternative but he always said B5 was a five-year show. ------------------ I always seem to be diagonally parked in a parallel universe.

    Dissension within Babyon 5.

    I bought and read all the books as they came out and except for 7 and 9 they were definitely not canon. However, some of them were quite good and others were just plain silly. I kept a few and gave the rest away because I never wanted to read them again. ------------------ I always seem to...

    Room For Rangers?

    Since LEXX is just finishing its fourth season it has enough episodes for syndication and I don't think they ever expected it to last this long. It is a German/Canadian production and the lead actress is a German actress who is quite well known in Germany. ------------------ I always seem to...

    What is your favorite credits sequence?

    Season 5, then season 3,4,2,1 in that order. ------------------ I always seem to be diagonally parked in a parallel universe.

    Worker Caste

    The warrior caste is quite an obvious division. They would have to be trained in the art of combat and attached to some sort of military group, such as a battalion to be accepted as part of the Warrior Caste. However, the Religious caste may be a little broader in scope. Since people are born...

    the raiders?

    I'm not sure which raiders you are talking about. To answer your question I can't remember coming across the raiders in any of the books, and I have read them all. ------------------ I always seem to be diagonally parked in a parallel universe.

    Cover of Centaurri Trilogy book III and Sheridan's beard

    Re: Cover of Centaurri Trilogy book III and Sheridan\'s beard IIRC Sheridan's beard appeared to grow during Intersections in Real Time and he didn't shave it off. However by the start of Season 5 he had changed the style and removed as much as he could and still call it a beard. JMS wanted a...

    Why did Sheridan really replace Sinclair?

    If Joe DeM were here he could answer your question, citing chapter and verse. However, IIRC there was always going to be a Sheridan type character introduced in Year 2. There were two separate story lines and JMS thought it was too much to expect one person to be Valen, go to Z'ha'Dum, win the...

    telemovie ratings - the real story behind the figures?

    Those of us who post on this board are pretty rabid fans of Babylon 5. It's three years since the series ended and we still talk (write) about it every day. I don't know how many fans post here and at the SCIFI BB but I'm sure at best it is in the low thousands. To get a good rating a tv...

    The Passing of the Techno-Mages

    Just to be different, I enjoyed the first of the Telepath books best, and got fed up with the other two because I really wasn't that interested in Bester. I liked the Centauri trilogy, because it tied up a lot of loose ends, and it was nice to see Vir grow into a serious character. The...
