    What is SciFi Channel Waiting For?

    Okay, so the ratings were skewed by one of the most exciting playoff football games filled with controvercy and covered with much snow. The west coast ratings, where the game was not a factor, were 3.2 to 3.6 in various markets, according to the JMS post. If you're with the SciFi channel and...

    Let me end the silence...(some spoilers)

    Fellow B5 fans: I am optimistic dammit!!! And, I hope you start feeling more of the same. I've never seen a demographics/psychographics breakdown of B5. Shooting from the hip, I'd say that it is very male-dominated. I don't mean to offend women by saying this. At the risk of sounding...

    So, when do the ratings come in?

    BTW, USA Today has published Nielsen Top 20 Ratings for last week. I don't think any of us were expecting to breach the top 20, and we did not. Here's the link if you're interested: USA Today Nielsen Top 20 All this tells us is that Rangers got less than a 9.7. Of course, most predictions...

    Gunnery Pod (spoilers)

    I'm not too concerned about stamina. Yes, it can be an issue. But bear in mind that boxers go fifteen rounds, albeit they can rest in between rounds. The biggest problem with the kick-boxing fire control is reaction time! Throwing three punches takes a hell of a lot longer than twitching a...

    Cure for the Plague, (I think this would do it)

    In the Centauri book trilogy, we learned that: <table bgcolor=black><tr><td bgcolor=black><font size=1 color=white>Spoiler:</font></td></tr><tr><td><font size=2 color=black> the plague was meant for Minbar. The Drakh only had enough material for one planet, according to Gwynn or Finian in the...

    War Zone - Eeuuuuuuuwwwwwww!

    I enjoyed the episdoe, "War Zone"! I thought the forced introductory stuff on many of the new characters was a bit trite but overall I loved it. To me, one of the most painful things to watch these days is "Earth Final Conflict" in the current season. While that series has never been nearly...

    Crusade VCD Review - (bought from ebay)

    Sounds interesting, these VCD's... Another advantage VCD's should have over VHS, depending on how they're structured, is the ability to move in a non-linear manner whereas VHS is linear (fast forward from one point to through all others in between that and the one you're heading to). Were you...

    Gunnery Pod (spoilers)

    "Silent", "Recoil", and "Lennier" made some points that I agree with regarding the gunnery pod. I would like to add another point. Generally, I like the separate pod floating thing. Though "Recoil's" (?) point about having fire control in the bridge with multiple people accessing it is a good...

    More hope for DVD boxed sets?

    For those that do not know what is meant by 'region' in the context of DVD and/or CVD, our DVD players and our discs are coded with region codes. This enables content owners, such as Warner Brothers, to release content in one region and prevent people in other regions from playing the content...

    Crusade Trivia: Try to Stump each other!

    I don't know the name of the mage that created the nanovirus on that planet or the name of the planet. However, Galen believed that the Circle did not want mages to go to this planet because they wished to hide the shame of a mage using their powers for destruction, for genocide!!! Eirik...

    Cure for the Plague, (I think this would do it)

    I vaguely recall G'Kar saying something about a scream was heard and most of the telepaths died. G'Quan and the other remaining mindwalkers then chased the Shadows off. If I'm remembering that correctly, then I don't think it was a virus as we understand it. ------------------ It never ends...

    Cure for the Plague, (I think this would do it)

    In the episode that aired today for Crusade, we learned that the virus is not limited to humans. It infected the 'lost tribe' from Zander Prime. As for the Drakh/Shadow plague 'learning', I think that quite probable. And therefore I don't think there is a central computer rather a distributed...

    Cure for the Plague, (I think this would do it)

    I think our new friend's idea about: <table bgcolor=black><tr><td bgcolor=black><font size=1 color=white>Spoiler:</font></td></tr><tr><td><font size=2 color=black> the cure to the telepath plague being adapted to treat/cure the Drakh/Shadow plague </font></td></tr></table> is terrific. As...

    Galen, tech, and Crusade: Technomage trilogy spoilers

    How does Lyta know its the "Eye"? I ask that because when characters in a story make conclusions and suppositions, they're always subject to error or misinterpretation. Did the "Eye" introduce itself to Lyta? Hi Lyta; I'm the "Eye". Or, maybe Lyta learned of the existance of the "Eye" from...

    Galen, tech, and Crusade: Technomage trilogy spoilers

    I too think that Lyta, Delenn, and Ivanova were facing Shadows at Z'Hadum rather than a rebuilt/back-up 'Eye'. Although, I could accept the 'Eye' as an explanation. Generally, I think the Shadows could do just about anything...if they CHOSE. With Sheridan's Whitestar and Galen's actions...

    Unaired Scripts

    Let's inject a little optimism in here despite the valid points expressed about the hurdles. When B5 moved to TNT, it moved to a station whose demographic was simply a mismatch. TNT, except for its movies, targets a more, dare I say it, base market. This market consists of people that not...

    Crusade Trivia: Try to Stump each other!

    Gale! Gale! Gale! Some people don't seem to like you! I want everyone to love you like I do. Please come back and show everybody how wonderful you are! Can you hear me? Are you happy? Well, readers of the mage novels would know who I'm mimicking. Galen is far in the way my favorite...

    Galen, tech, and Crusade: Technomage trilogy spoilers

    Excellent post Lennier!!! My head was nodding the whole time I read it. I too look forward to story details on the conflict between the Drakh and the Mages. And oh yes, I believe the Drakh could have vital pieces of how to create the tech. If they had all the knowledge required to make tech...
