Re: Actual B5:TLT News Fair enough, and I didn't mean to imply that your opinion was uninformed while I was stating what was informing mine. :) So, what did you think of my quilt metaphor? Do you think that could happen, and do you think it would work better with his talents and your tastes if...

I haven't read the book either (though I have been hearing good things about it for a while), but one of the primary appeals to it seems to me the scope of the book. I too doubt it will do the whole faux history book type format build up from various reports, what seems to be basically a short...

Re: Actual B5:TLT News The closest thing to an anthology I've seen (or rather, heard) from JMS is this anthology radio show called City of Dreams done for SciFi, and I thought at least some of those were really neat. They very much felt like standalone short stories, and not really episodic (if...

Re: Actual B5:TLT News That could be interesting, in-story interviews. Although I have a feeling, based on nothing substantial really, that these won't necessarily feature the main actors of the two main Voices episodes. Since it would mean getting them up in Canada again for February, and that...

Re: Actual B5:TLT News Hey, I tried to offer up something vaguely on topic looking. :P Ok, how about those "number of original short pieces that will be filmed in February which feature glimpses into the future of Babylon 5 and her characters" that JMS mentioned in the scripts mailing list...

Re: Actual B5:TLT News I'll just take your word for it then. :) And yeah, some small collaboration between the two could be pretty neat, I suppose. Ok, let me post something slightly more on topic than Whedon's tastes in this thread of "Actual B5:TLT News". :P I don't think this has been...

Re: Actual B5:TLT News Ah, I didn't know that. That's pretty neat. To be honest, I haven't really watched Buffy beyond some stray episodes here and there. I do have Firefly and Serenity on my DVD shelf here, but still on the "to watch" stack.

Re: Actual B5:TLT News That's pretty interesting. I, however, have never read about it. I don't suppose you have any reference links to satisfy my curiosity? Can't find anything on him being a B5 fan or not after googling a bit.

Re: Actual B5:TLT News Well, I know you said it wasn't targeted at Recoil in particular, but I thought his post was pretty mild and not expressed in any way something I would qualify as insulting hand wringing, in tiny bits or otherwise. It's perfectly natural to have both hopes and doubts, I...

Re: Actual B5:TLT News Isn't that a wee bit of an over reaction? I mean, I have my own theories why LotR failed story wise, and why those failures will or will not be able to carry over to TLT, and personally I think that if TLT has problems in the writing department, they will be of a...

Re: Actual B5:TLT News Well, through a fault of whoever wrote up the TLT press release, we know the DVDs did 44 million last year (most likely last financial year): And there is of course the oft cited 500 million number, which JMS cited for the first time in September 2004, and is the number...

That's still pretty blatant copyright infringement guys. And if I'm not totally misinformed, I'm pretty sure the people running this place would rather you not use this forum for doing that. The B5 short stories are even harder to find, and JMS made it clear that the trading of digital copies...

Re: How Will The B-5 Universe Change when JMS is g I asked just that to JMS a few months ago, on the newsgroup. Here is what he answered: I personally would like to see it if possible, mostly to get CGI and composited scenes that aren't cropped. We had a fairly lengthy discussion about it here...

Re: Actual B5:TLT News In case anyone was wondering, the listing by IMDB of Atmosphere for TLT we discussed earlier in this thread is accurate. I decided to just ask one of the people listed by IMDB, and send an e-mail to Alec McClymont. He was helpful enough to confirm for me that they're...

I on the other hand quite liked Visitors, since the x-files is probably one of the few shows I ever watched religiously for years on end on television (i.e. not on DVD, which is how end up watching most shows I really like now). It wasn't great, but it was fun seeing (fellow x-files fan) JMS...

I didn't expect a thread about a newsgroup to get me all hungry. :p Just wondering, but looking through the source of the rastb5.mod messages, is the modbot located at deepthot.org? Because if I punch that in on my browser it loads, suggesting that there is something there that is up. But I...

Re: Actual B5:TLT News Yeah, I do. :) And I don't mind. I suppose "ready for the release" of TLT in the UK implies that the region 2 DVD will be released after it pretty strongly. But the way it's worded is ambiguous enough for it to still mean just that November '07 happens to be a moment that...

Maybe it's just me, but the Hand screamed MCGuffin and classic JMS misdirection to me. The reaction a lot people had to them, "oh, another super powerful race, that likes to operate from the shadows, uses a lot of other races to fight by proxy, has lain dormant in a sense but is now coming back...

Re: JMS\'s 12/1 post One of the primary effects houses working on BSG is Zoic I believe, who is LA based, so they probably won't be involved for that reason alone, since JMS said post production would be done in Vancouver too. However, and I posted this on the JMSNews forum before, IMDB now...

Re: Actual B5:TLT News Thanks Darth. :) Although it's Shabaz, with one "z". I wouldn't want people to think I ascribe to Malcolm X's ancient African tribe. ;) Without the extra z, it's just an unrelated name of moderate popularity among South Asian Muslims.
