So glad to see more V coming. I think Kenneth Johnson is still involved, but haven't seen his name in any of the press releases. There's a ton they could do with the concept now. JMS even pitched an idea to WB (I think) for more V, way back when. I'm glad that didn't happen, then we might...

Re: Cool stuff in season 1 I always thought season one was woefully underrated, that's the season where I fell in love with the series. Sure, they had a lot of kinks to work out, some of the fist fights were kind of silly, some of the guest acting not so good. But some of the best episodes...

I was watching "Z'ha'dum" tonight, seeing the Shadows arrive at B5. And I remembered seeing a poster in a Starlog magazine in a bookstore around the same time, showing Shadow vessels surrounding the station, as Starfuries launch to try to stop them. Does anyone know what issue that was? Great...

Oookay.... Then who do you think would win in a conventional war, Turkey or Pakistan? ha ha Raw Shark

So I recently re-read the B5 comics # 5-8. I liked them and still believe a good branch of B5's future is in comics. Some of the Star Wars comics were better than the latest round of movies. I can't lie, those movies are bad. Just compare them to the first three, and you have to agree...

So I'm listening to the episode soundtrack for Walkabout right now, and my nomination is for Erika Gimpel as Caitlyn (the spelling changes from place to place) in Walkabout. Babylon 5 is very musical, and has so many references to music and its importance. Her acting was very good, her...

I hadn't heard anything about JMS having issues (ha ha) with DC over B5 comics. What have you heard, Jan? The comics themselves were a real mixed bag, sometimes quite good and sometimes just seeming out to lunch. I had always wondered why they never started them up again, though, so what do...

My feelings are not as mixed as others, I am mostly disappointed. I understand JMS’ point of view, and that his career is taking him in new directions. I certainly agree that B5 has always been under-appreciated in terms of viability, quality and its sheer impact on the way television is made...

I also had a problem with all the fixed-forward weapons on supposedly advanced ships. Even the White Stars only fire forward! In an arc for the beam gun, but still. All you would need for a crew is a pilot who also mans a couple of triggers. What are all those other crewmen for if they can't...

That's it! Thanks. I really like the madgoner site, very ambitious. Speaking of B5 model sites, does anyone know where I can find a good image of the new Centauri cruiser from The Lost Tales? I absolutely love the look of that thing. It looks so skeletal, like it was just born from the...

I take it you mean episodes that show them in action? That's what I would look for. All Alone In the Night Messages from Earth Point of No Return Severed Dreams Moments of Transition (at the very end, nice and wicked) No Surrender, No Retreat Face of the Enemy Between the Darkness and the...

I thought War Zone was underrated too. I think maybe JMS increased the cheese factor in a few scenes just to get TNT off his back, so they'd see that their interference wasn't helping to improve anything. And Tim Thomerson seemed to have no idea what was going on or why he was there. Most of...

Nope, that keeper story is dealt with in the Legions of Fire novel trilogy. Those books are good but not great, maybe because they tell the story of what happens on Centauri Prime as if it's in a bubble, and very little of it has to do with the rest of the galaxy. For a big B5 story, I found...

I agree, B5's too good to ruin with spoilers, don't risk it. These story arcs changed the way tv shows are written, really revolutionary. In the Beginning is sort of a prequel, but gives away far too much. It's a lousy place to start. But it's totally worth the wait, it's a fantastic movie...

Welcome to B5! My B5 Timeline (probably not perfect, all just from memory) The Gathering pilot movie (good call on muddling through this, it’s clunky and experimental, but has important elements. Everything improves vastly after this) Season 1 Comics 1-4 Seasons 2-3...

Yeah, I actually posted this question after re-reading my Dreadstar hardcover. I still love that series after 20 years, and another hardcover is supposed to be out soon. I noticed many similarities with B5 in just the first 12 issues, but then, Dreadstar has many similarities to Star Wars...

So I have a question for all you comic fans out there: Who has one or more favorite space-based, epic-scale comic series? Ones that might be similar in scope or tone to Babylon 5? The Babylon 5 comic does not count for this. One of mine? Dynamo Joe. I have others, but want to see what...
