It could also be suggested he was in cahoots with Lex Luthor to sabotage that plane/shuttle thing he was riding in in the last Superman movie. And he has a beard. Very evil trait, that, particularly a neatly trimmed one.

Quick correction (we seem to be in nitpicky mode recently, so it's in keeping :) ) but the Capital of the Minbari Federation (as stated in To Dream in the City of Sorrows) is Yedor. Tuzanor (spelling :) ) was an ancient and somewhat holy city that was home to the traditional training centre of...

For my part at least, that wouldn't have been the case. I'm glad there's as little of her as there is.

Actually I still disagree with your interpretation of things. The way you describe things there still assumes there is some inherent 'wrongness' in the concept of the act, even if only hypothetical. You're essentially saying that: - Some people would say the intent to do this 'wrong' thing is...

Hey Jan, I've seen where JMS said this in the CGSociety article, but out of interest is there anywhere I can read Doug's words, or someone (yourself?) who heard him say it who can give me the gist? Cheers

No, it's whether you consider somebody can be considered an 'injured party' when the incident in question hasn't 'injured' or effected them in any measurable way. :)

I'm with Ellipsis on this one. The corpse I leave behind when I die will not be me. In fact, as much of it as may have use for others should be harvested (organ donation), and I really don't care what happens to the rest. If I saw someone do something like this to a grave of someone I cared...

I can see his part in the plot (in a general sense), but I think the telepath arc in S5 feels a little laboured and stretched out, and he muscles his way into episodes that aren't really about that arc too. Those are symptoms of the whole S4/S5/Claudia Christian leaving debacle, I'm sure. Also...

I already changed mine.* My BSG should arrive today, and with luck my TLT (no art cards) should ship today. Whoever came up with that exclusive seriously underestimated demand for B5 (shock, horror!) it seems. * At the minute I think I've ordered my three copies of TLT no fewer than 5 times...

Also, Vintari refers to it as 'the new Valen-class cruiser'. While the obvious inference is that the ship is new, he could also mean that there is a new 'Valen-class'. This might be a major overhaul and replacement of the Valen-class design, that just happens to look nothing like the old...

Yeah, JMS ditched him because he looked a little rubbish, and the only time he's mentioned after S1 is in S5, Learning Curve, when the cockney thug whose name I can't remember moves in to fill the underworld power vacuum n'grath left behind.

Well if we're being nit-picky, you don't have to register with Wikipedia to edit most articles, you can do it just as a random reader of the page. :^) The way such a big thing was made about re-using Valen's title of Entil'Zha for the first time in a thousand years, I don't think just any...

The one with the art cards is unavailable at the mo.

I think that's just JMS's characters talking the way JMS talks. As for people having 'problems taking a beautiful woman seriously as an authority figure', do people really find Tracy Scoggins beautiful? I know it's in the eye of the beholder and all, but to put it politely I really wouldn't...

I thought RAD was quite good as Morann, and I even thought he did quite well with Byron, and some of the writing for the character was quite good. I think the problem was that he was a character who could have been ok in small doses, but we just got too damn much of him.

In The Gathering it turned out that G'Kar was involved in the plot to assassinate Kosh and frame Sinclair for it, in order to trigger an interstellar war so that the Narn could benefit (selling weapons as in In The Beginning, forming alliances for the purposes of conquering worlds as he tries to...

You're right about introducing the telepaths earlier, but I'm pretty sure in the script books JMS said their story would've been briefer, and Byron's in particular (the Byron-Ivanova relationship only encompassing an episode or so).

There's a bit of an exaggeration here. Dourif has played many psychotic and strange characters, true enough. And I can see the similarities between characters like Grima Wormtongue, Piter de Vries from Dune, and the serial killer he played on Voyager's crew, for example. But his (absolutely...

I'm trying to remember the name of the Anla'Shok Na (but not Entil'Zha) from In The Beginning, but anyway there's an example of a leader of the rangers who wasn't Entil'Zha.

If you're not Byron fans you should rather like how it was originally planned than how it ended up panning out. If the Civil War arc had carried over into season 5, the Byron-Ivanova relationship (instead of Byron-Lyta) and Tradgedy of Telepaths storyline would have been over in a scant few...
