    Is JMS a Scientologist?

    They're not trying to say what you should think, from what I can see, just trying to provide background information on an organization that has been found to operate against the law in the past, information that the organization tries to keep secret themselves. The Church actively works against...

    Is JMS a Scientologist?

    As long as they strive to be accurate, why not? Brochures seem pretty innocuous to me. edit: I just read through one, and they actually state they're legally considered "an anti-constitutional movement with a criminogenic structure". Warning people against such an organisation with brochures...

    Is JMS a Scientologist?

    If you're willing to operate in the way they do, I see no problem in checking if they are at least upholding the law. I mean, if you see what lengths they're willing to go to fight those critical of them, and what they do to people who want to leave, I'd say it's warranted. They keep secret a...

    Is JMS a Scientologist?

    Nope, they aren't outlawed here. Far as I know they still have their big office somewhere around the area behind Dam Square in Amsterdam. You may be confusing us with our eastern neighbours, or some of the Scandinavian countries. What you may have heard of in passing is a fairly high profile...

    Is JMS a Scientologist?

    I've talked with one of their 'ministers' once, they had this big recruiting tent on the city square here one week. It was weird how fast he 'deduced' that I 1) had severe mental problems, 2) was under medication for this, 3) was taking this medication unneeded, and 4) could help me kick the...

    Is JMS a Scientologist?

    They tend to sue over things like copyright infringement and such. Just saying that they're generally an abhorrent lot, using methods and tactics that are almost downright evil, should actually be fine. And yeah, couldn't see JMS being too sympathetic to them, which apparently he isn't. The...

    B5:TLT Actual DISCUSSION Thread

    I also just noticed that they didn't even bother to update the copyright notice on the new website, it still says 2006. It indeed seems they really put as little effort as possible into the new site. Oh well, the trailer is still cool, though it would be really nice if they released a higher...

    New official Babylon 5 Website...

    Yup. A good trailer can compensate for a lot of bad website design. :D

    B5:TLT Actual DISCUSSION Thread

    Yes, that was my feeling too. If you look in the TLT gallery section, you will see an image of the TLT titles that match that ending shot of a nebula thing. And seconded on a higher resolution trailer. It was done in HD, show is some of that nice detail you paid all that money for, WB! :)

    T-Shirt

    I just realized that I'm not really sure about b5tv.com's standards on this, but I know some online communities where it is considered bad manners to have your very first post be a link to something you can buy, or to promotional material. I mean, at least it's topical here (though I'm not quite...

    New official Babylon 5 Website...

    It pretty much makes every obvious mistake in webdesign and flashdesign, so yeah, 'my first flash project' sounds accurate. Visually it doesn't look great, and in usability terms it's using some really bad design ideas. I mean, take that auto playing video for instance. It doesn't have an...

    B5:TLT Actual DISCUSSION Thread

    I guess I should've worded it more carefully, but I meant that he might've played of his personal reputation of having things blow up because of "creative differences", not some way to slyly hint at there being some trouble with WB at this point or in the past. I mean, it has been kind of...

    B5:TLT Actual DISCUSSION Thread

    Think the sock puppet thing might've been JMS's way to poke a bit of fun at his (deservedly or not) reputation of always having big creative differences with "the suits" and the studios? Well, it was funny either way. :D

Aftermath: Quicktime - Windows Media Player Reunion: Quicktime - Windows Media Player Bruce Boxleitner: Quicktime - Windows Media Player Joe's First Day: Quicktime -...

    I think you're reading too much into it, and my comment, which really was only intended as a joke. See the ;) smiley there?

    Don't think of it as slow, think of it as deliberate and dignified, Boxie. ;)

    Ok, I managed to put my cybersleuthing skills to good use, and after having been told about this first Diary, I managed to uncover 2 others. :D I listed all 3 below: "The Reunion" "The Aftermath" "Visual FX"

    B5:TLT -- just the news. And we mean that.

    It seems the first of the promised TLT video blogs has just been released. You can find it here. Providing a look to the behind the scenes of the TLT Visual Effects at Atmosphere, it also features the first look to the new B5 CG in motion. It looks pretty darn amazing. Note, discussion about...
