    Flash can be OK when done well or used sparingly. Unfortunately you're as likely to see either of those things as you are likely to see a Centauri eat fresh spoo! :D

    Looks like we were right, Shabaz. :)

    B5:TLT Actual DISCUSSION Thread

    Yeah, just seen that picture and it's exactly the same, only the video is missing the title. So apart from the less-than-stellar site it looks for all the world like they've managed to put a slightly borked version of the trailer up, it seems to me. I think I'll email them tonight pointing this...

    B5:TLT Actual DISCUSSION Thread

    Love the trailer. Let's hope this is 'a beginning', eh? Of Lost Tales releases that is. :^) Does anyone else think the funny little 'bang' and puff of dust or whatever it is at the end looks like it's where the 'Babylon 5: The Lost Tales' title should be? I'd really like to see a large, high...

    Naff as it is, it *does* now have a sweet, sweet TLT trailer on it. :^)

    You're not wrong. That video that plays as soon as you enter the menu is a less than stellar mish-mash of clips that looks like some fan-made YouTube B5 trailer, too. Still, looking forward to the TLT trailer! :)

    Confessions and Lamentations similarity to BSG/Spoiler

    For another, he fought in the first cylon war, shortly after the chrome-job cylon centurions were invented and supposedly before the cylons had 'evolved' into their skin-job versions at all. Not to mention there was an ancient temple that was seemingly related to those four and the undisclosed...

    The Gathering -- Original Version

    Hmm, I value B5 episodes for their story content rather than some historical value in their production limitations. And while I love me some guitar licks, I always found the Stewart Copeland soundtrack embarrassingly poor. The newer version is still no masterpiece, but I feel the impotrant...

    The Gathering -- Original Version

    I bought the Complete B5 Universe boxset here in the UK just a few months back, and the Gathering was most definitely the original version. I'm a little ticked off, as it really is vastly inferior to the revised version.

    Lost Season 3 Spoiler Thread

    I read they were looking to do 48 episodes anyway, as two 24-ep seasons, and that the only thing ABC changed was suggesting splitting those eps up into three seasons running straight through 16 eps each rather than 2 seasons that would have to have breaks. Some cynics suggested this was to turn...

    Iron Man armor revealed

    Yes, 'reboot thing' sums it up quite well. The original thinking was that the 40-year histories and convoluted back-stories of the main Marvel characters made them very inaccessible to new readers, so Marvel made new 'Ultimate' versions of it's main characters (Ultimate Spider-Man, Ultimate...

    Sci-Fi Debate

    Really? I never felt that way. There are obviously aspects of the series that modern science has contradicted (like the cellular race-memory that the Bene Gesserit Reverend Mothers can access), but I definitely always saw it as science fiction. Just science fiction with little focus on...

    Sci-Fi Debate

    There are some guys I work with who are adamant that they hate science fiction. They watch Lost and Heroes though, so I'm loving needling them by pointing out all the sci-fi they're watching at the mo. :^) According to JMS at different times, either Arthur C. Clarke or Isaac Asimov once said...

    I'd have thought cling film (plastic wrap?) would have made more sense in that case. Clearly I'm just a newbie in the 'hiding vegetables in your underwear' world. :)

    I never could work out why it was wrapped in tin foil, anyway.

    Disturbing Image

    I agree on all fronts. They are rather tacky menus, and do produce freaky morphs, that frequently elicited either chuckles or cries of horror from me and the friend who last watched B5 with me. Marcvanova was indeed the worst. Although there was one where Sheridan grows breasts that never ceased...

    Babylon 5 Books

    From the quoting of prices in ££s, I'm assuming you're a UK resident? I'm from Huddersfield in West Yorkshire, and as another young guy (we're both 23) who only recently got into B5 and found Legions of Fire III hard to get hold of, I sympathise. If you can promise to treat it carefully (I ended...

    Why should it suck? We don't even understand what a 'double feature' is, apparently. :rolleyes:

    Grindhouse

    You wanna hear the sucky news? Despite the local cinemas playing the truly awesome 'Grindhouse' trailer quite a bit, by the time the film makes it over to this side of the Atlantic, it'll actually be two films, Grindhouse: Planet Terror and Grindhouse: Death Proof. This, we are patronisingly...
