It is like the second book in the Techno-mage series. I picked up the other two for reasonable prices on Amazon but book 2 is really expensive. They currently have it listed on Amazon for $9 but then when I click to order it, it says the seller is no longer accepting that price for it. So, that...

Re: Sci-Fi \"Mammoth\" movie. Why stop there? Just go ahead and produce "Mammoths on a Plane."

I just hope Lucas does not use the show to hoist another annoying character on us... Even now, nightmares of a twisted fusion of Ewoks and Jar Jar Binks haunt my dreams. Well, not really but the thought is disturbing

Very true and Earth's diversity was identified as one of its strengths several times throughout the show. If Earth had a single religion and a single-centralized government that would not permit research outside of approved limits, then humanity could well face the fate shown in this episode...

Re: EpDis: In The Shadow Of Z\'ha\'dum I still disagree but I cannot ague against what people enjoy. From my point of view, I just thought Sheridan was being a bit too slow to understand since Kosh was standing right there in the room. At least part of Sheridan's mind must have wondered why...

Well, I make the argument in the sense that Earth is so divided in terms of religious viewpoints. Just as a current example, take the current debate over embryonic stem cells. You have a group of social conservatives who oppose their use in any way, shape, or form. However, they cannot prevent...

Re: EpDis: In The Shadow Of Z\'ha\'dum It is a fine episode indeed in that we get to see Sheridan act like something other than the perfect hero. Too often, shows and movies have heroes that are so "good" that even if they are tempted to do evil that the audience never believes that the...

It is a rather powerful episode and it remains one of my favorites for the reason that it is not a standard TV or Trek ending. We have all seen these types of episodes before and we expect to see Franklin save everyone in the nick of time but that is not what happens here. In that sense, the...

True, but at least as of one million years from now, the humans were still around and on their way to the Vorlon homeworld. Maybe when the humans finally leave, they will throw the Narn and the Centauri in the backseat--metaphorically anyway--and take them along.

I have read that same commentary from JMS and it leads me to ask one more question: Do the Narn and Centauri go beyond the rim anyway? They may not reach the status of First Ones in terms of evolution but if their civilizations do not vanish, they would become rather powerful technologically. If...

I rewatched this episode on DVD tonight and I would have to give it a solid B, mainly due to the G'Kar and Londo scenes. It may not be an arc episode per se but I think it is an important episode leading into Dust to Dust. While G'Kar had already grown as a character from his quasi-villain...

Another strange part of watching The Gathering only after seeing much of the series was spotting Morden working in CNC. Ok...well just Ed Wasser but still...

And episodic sci-fi shows for that matter. My one quibble with the show was that G'Kar's sentencing at the end seemed a bit light for the crime involved. Granted, I did not expect him to get spaced or anything but the 60-day sentence (if I remember it correctly) just seems disproportionate for...

Ah ok, I see how that fits in now. I did not see The Gathering until that same night In the Beginning first aired...so my whole view of the pilot was biased by not having seen it in its original form.

Ah, well that would explain that but it was not entirely clear..to me at least. I had thought that maybe the reason we did not hear the chimes was that it was from Kosh's PoV or something along those lines.

I do wonder why Valen did not warn Kosh not to call him by name when he first saw Sinclair on B5. It surprised me that the Minbari impersonator did not react to Kosh's greeting...at least what we saw in Lyta's mind that is.

First off, I agree with the idea that it is far more efficient to simply bombard something from orbit. I suspect that planetary bombardment in any form might be frowned upon though. We already know that treaties exist surrounding the use of mass drivers. At the very least, planetary...

Re: Latest Update from JMS Thanks for the welcome :) It is also a baseball reference as I have been a Dodger fan since I was about 4 or 5. The line always made me laugh since I can sometimes see myself saying the same thing when the team is struggling. *jumps behind a wall to hide from any...

Re: Latest Update from JMS I just stumbled upon this forum and this news and I am quite thrilled with it. Yes, I am the newbie...so feel free to ignore me :p I would suggest something with Bester but JMS already made that 5th season episode from Bester's perspective so I am not sure that would...
