Fine, fine, fine, everyone but me loves Max. Swell. Who would you cast to play him nowadays? I'm sticking with Cobb as my choice. Furthermore, who would you cast as Durena and as Dr. Chambers?

I think that's an "All the world is Hollywood" thing. H'wood just naturally assumes they know everything that's worth knowing, and what they don't know they can simply fake. Thus in Jericho, for instance, a town in central Kansas can see a city in Colorado blowing up. Or on X-files they can...

In "Infection" an inspection was done by a guy physically poking through someone's luggage and noticing a false bottom. It's not really high-tech.

Yeah, I think ultimately Crusade probably would have been a pretty good show, but I have to confess the idea of a ship-based show struck me as pretty disappointing at the time.

Thank you!

Meh. I think Shari Bellefonte did a better job.

Where I come from (Nebraska) we use a different word for "Almost." It's called "Didn't." As in, "I almost got shot at!" Ah, so what you're saying is you didn't get shot at. A studio DID see the value of it, they DID make the show. Also, the idea of a station-based show was a major part of...

Doctor Who. But let's assume you don't count that for some reason: that there's none on the air now doesn't change the fact that there have been two galacticas, five treks, one ship-based stargate show, Firefly, Red Dwarf, Farscape, Lost in Space, three star blazers, space: above and beyond...

Yeah, that's the most obvious choice, but not the one I'd go with. If I did that, though, I'd keep Woodward and ditch Dobro. It'd be childsplay to edit her out of the existing footage and insert a new actress. Me, personally, I'd probably keep the Drakh plague, but I'd ditch the ship-based...

I think a B5 series should be ABOUT B5. Particularly when there's so many ship-based and ship-combat based shows already. Zipping off to the side is great, like they did all the time in season 4, but B5 should be the primary dramatic locus and the focus of the story. B5 is the pivot about which...

Well, Matt Smith is free...:) Hm. Honestly, I think Ben Browder as Gideon. He's a great lead, and he's got a really good acting style (He interacts differently with each character on the cast, it's kind of neat to watch) Drew van Acker as Lt. Matheson, I think. Woodward could still do...

Hm. Well, Kosh's purpose in coming to B5 was to make sure Sinclair-the-arrow flew when and how and why he was supposed to. Then Sinclair left the station, and Kosh got sidetracked. Part of his job was evidently to screen messianic types, and in at least 400 years, probably longer, he never...

That's interesting. We both felt that we were looking at multiple versions of the same character (Though not the same ones)

Thanks to Jan's link here http://www.geekplanetonline.com/hosting/originals/babbleon/?p=episode&name=2011-07-31_gpo_babbleon_012b.mp3&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheBabbleOnProject+%28GeekPlanetOnline%3A+The+Babble+On+Project%29&utm_content=FeedBurner we now know...

Yes, thanks, I know what the definition of a 'reboot' is. I also know the difference between a 'Pilot" and a "First Episode" and a "Backdoor Pilot." People get confused about that, though, and frequently use the wrong terms, and since I'm hearing about all this third-hand, presumably with some...

Having just listened to the podcast Jan pointed me at regarding the reboot, I'm intrigued, I'd have watched it, but I agree: I don't like the idea. Honestly I like my idea better, which is not something I say very often W/R/T JMS. Of course I only know the barebones, not enough to really make a...

Whoah! I totally did not see that coming. Wow. Thank you for pointing that out to me. I'm staggered.

Yup. Kosh is right. It's a lot like Universal and "Battlestar Galactica," which sat on a shelf for a quarter century without anyone even really bothering to think about it, until someone from outside pointed out exactly what wasted potential they were sitting on top of. OTOH, this is NOTHING...

Ok. One theory is that the Vorlons are inherently a big blob-like entity, a gestalt (not a physical blob, mind you). They bud off bits of themselves as needed to do functions away from the gestalt, and these are re-absorbed after the job is done. Kosh was away from the blob for so long that his...
