Always felt to me like a very mediocre episode of B5 padded out to twice the length. Even the worst B5 has the occasional moment of greatness, but with all honesty (and I know this is going to sound like me being snarky and disingenuous, though I'm not) I don't think I've ever actually watched...

While I don't wholly agree with the first poster, I do agree that B5 was at it's best when dealing with the over-arching story arc rather than one-off stories, and I must quickly point out, Jan, that all of the moments you mention - arguably bar the Vir/Lennier one - are both important points in...

Why would they bother? On CP, they have the place wired with nukes. He can get as drunk as he wants, he still can't do anything there while they have that hanging over him. The dinner on Minbar was probably going to be his best (if not only) ever chance to do something outside the control of the...

Amazon.co.uk lists it as published by Mongoose, and links from it to their other B5 novels (the Rangers one and Claudia Christian's book.) And their synopses read as very 'fannish', too. Hence JMS's reluctance to be involved with them, seemingly. EDIT: Having said that, I finally tracked down...

It was in the Director's commentary. I don't think it was a slip.

I can never work out if I'm horrified with myself, or perversely proud of the fact that I spent £100 on eBay to get Legions of Fire III, and get it fast. Needless to say, even though I'm another UK B5er, I'm reluctant to even let anyone else TOUCH the book let alone borrow it! :^D

Just throwing in something on the In The Beginning, in the beginning or not debate. I'm really ambivalent on the issue. Season 1 is not as good as later seasons (a few brilliant eps leter in the series aside), and the mystery of the hole in Sinclair's mind was a great thread to keep you hooked...

Re: Newbie just starting S3 - Non-Spoilers ONLY! Indeed you will, but don't forget that you've seen one before: War Without End in season 3, when Sheridan visits his future briefly after becoming 'unstuck in time' on B4. A certain Centauri Emperor who's taken Sheridan and Delenn captive...

I imagine that it was a) a joke - the scriptbooks are chock full of hilarious parentheticals, footnotes, tangents, gentle ribbing of B5 cast and crew members and general insanity. b) an oblique reference to the fact that he is writing new B5 scripts again, which I'd feel somewhat smug about if...

I think it's a great idea. JMS was proud of how B5 was at the forefront of bringing this cutting edge technology to television, and I'd love to watch a glorious high-def version of the show with the CGI brought back to the cutting edge once more (while most definitely keeping the aesthetic style...

Here's hoping for some Bill Mumy news! As soon as I heard the idea for 'The Lost Tales', with never-gotten-around to stories for individual characters, all I could think about was finding out what happened to poor Lenier between betraying Sheridan, and his death as alluded to in Sleeping in Light.

Re: Question For People With the Complete Universe Sad to say, it's the latter. I ended up downloading the commentaries for them as mp3s, but that was a frustrating experience given that the mp3 played faster than the DVD on my PC, meaning the commentary and picture would get increasingly out...

Re: Claudia Black in Broken News Tha Day Today was indeed fantastic, and Broken News is a very worthy successor to that program. The channel flipping format is the main distinction from TDT, and is very amusing (especiialy the very short snippets that seem to be of articles covering the short...

Re: B5:SD Needs A Programmer! Very true. Hmm, not sure that holds as often as you might think, but I agree in theory. Sort of. :) As for 'once the context had been made clear', which I presume refers to me, all I did was repeat exactly what the guy had said, and dispute people taking it to...

The crap looking cover was apprently the VHS cover, I read somewhere. A short while ago the proper DVD cover surfaced (minus the B5 logo, as mentioned above), but I guess you just missed it. This may have implications for the Complete Universe boxset I'm planning on getting soon, I venture to...

Re: Subtitles for UK version of The Complete Unive If you can wait two weeks, till after my payday, I'll give you your definitive answer. :)

Re: B5:SD Needs A Programmer! Read, maybe; comprehension, that's the next step. ;) Copyright law '*as is*' must, logically speaking, have been 'made or changed' at some point previously, yes? And if copyright law is considered by someone to be idiotic, then is that not a valid reason for that...

Re: B5:SD Needs A Programmer! Excuse me, but can you people READ? For those taking offence at 'being called idiots' (which you weren't), you're doing a very good job of appearing as such. The quote, once more: "Whenever a copyright law is to be made or changed, the idiots assemble." --Mark...

Hollywood generally maybe, but film studios have shareholders like any other public company, and all *they* care about is profit, regardless of the source. Lots of films get made that don't have a hope of turning a profit without DVD sales. As for what format you'd like to see more B5 in, as...

Actually, that's completely untrue. They make more money now from DVD sales, which are massive and have been steadily increasing for a long time, than the box office, which is declining in recent years as people watch more films at home. This is why the movie studios are so invested in the...
