Its quite easy 'cos B5 just uses a space setting to tell a grand epic. It's not sci-fi the way people have come to know Trek, Star Wars and the Alien movies. I usually start people off with In the Shadow of Z'ha'dum, all that ancient enemy stuff gets them interested. Then its Coming of Shadows...

I'm not saying she was terrible, she really did have some great scenes in rising star and the long night. It's just that she was surrounded by some real acting heavyweights. Richard Biggs was always great, its his character who was often irritating and self righteous.

cool .sig mate

I would have eliminated those horribly pointless S5 episodes Learning Curve and Strange Relations (keeping the Lyta bareback scene). I would never ever take out Lyta. Talia was so irritating, she sounded like she was about to burst into tears every time she spoke. And Lochley might be older...

Ok lets have a count of how many people each of u has converted to B5. Mine's standing at 4, including somebody who hates all forms of science fiction.

Well I've been away for a while so I've got a few questions: SiL was filmed 4th season, but jms said he left it sitting around in the Avid. Does that mean the cgi was done at the end of season 5? Should I buy the R1 or R2 version, we get multi zone players here. Each version seems to have its...

Re: Movies galore in \'03 Damn, I was hoping he would get some good screen time, as Longstreet was such a major player in 'Gettysburg'

I liked the beard as seen in Endgame and the S5 titles. The goatee in S5 is just ridiculous. It makes Bruce look like.... a politician.

We did see the Primus quite a few times in S2, but never a fleet of them: The emperor's liner in 'Coming of Shadows' 'And now for a word' had another Primus being blown up by a Narn G'qoun The Long, Twilight Struggle' showed us the flagship Valeris with Londo staring through the window as Narn...

Sure, if you like imitations go ahead and get DS9. On the other hand there were some really weird real world coincidences: both DS9 and B5's resident babe (not that B5 ever had any real babes) left at the end of the penultimate season.

Re: Movies galore in \'03 Is Gods and Generals the one with Bruce Boxleitner in it? If so I'll definately try and see it if it comes to SA. Matrix had a really original and thought provoking concept and is well worth seeing, but I hate sequels.

I don't think we ever really saw a Centauri Primus fleet in the series either. The most I can remember are the 2 seen attacking the Narn homeworld in 'Struggle. I would have preferred a fleet of those mile-long Narn Gquon cruisers on the cover, but I guess it doesn't fit in with the colour...

Getting back to the topic, I've always found that showing people: The coming of shadows In the shadow of Z'ha'dum and The long, twilight struggle, gets them hooked real good. I can always go back and fill in the blanks later, I've hooked like half a dozen people so far. When I tried showing the...

Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My TV station fubared the screening of And All My Dreams Torn Asunder. They showed the teaser up to the opening credits, went for a break and showed the teaser up to the opening credits again then after the break started with the second act. I missed the entire presentation of...

Assuming that jms can only do 2 commentaries per season, (now that Jeremiah's gotten the go-ahead and if his current workload stays the same) which episodes would people like him to do in upcoming sets(assuming future seasons get released of course). Here's my picks: S2: The coming of shadows or...

Hi there. I just need some info about Play.com Are they a reliable retailer. Has anyone experienced any problems with them, credit card fraud etc.. Cos. I have a friend in the UK who's returning to SA and I'm thinking of asking him to get the set for me so I don't have to pay customs. And are...

We're up to The Ragged Edge and except for Byron's singing I love S5. Day of the Dead was strange and wonderful, makes me think jms made a mistake by not farming out the spots for Learning Curve, Strange Relations and Secrets of the Soul to freelancers. The cgi is absolutely gorgeous! And we get...

Re: Why B5 Worked and Crusade/Rangers Didn\'t </font><blockquote><font class="small">In reply to:</font><hr /> Am I the only one who much preferred Evan Chen's music for Crusade over Franke's score for B5 I also quite liked it. He was 30 years ahead of his time but most people seem to want...

Hypothetically speaking (note JoeDM) seeing as how so many despise S5 and if the S5 dvd sales are half or less of S3&4, I wonder if WB will release SiL separately? I know quite a few casual fans who tuned out during the telepath arc. I'm trying to get them to return now that Byron's dead...

</font><blockquote><font class="small">In reply to:</font><hr /> Apparently the Shadow vessels are based on a dog's nose. According to the Cinefantastique commemorative double issue for B5, Ron Thornton of FI had seen a documentary on spiders on CBS just before designing the Shadow battlecrab.
