That does sound interesting, and a very different style and genre. Thanks a lot for sharing the information!

It almost seems that the last light of hope for B5's future is going the way of my hope for my nation. I mean, I have been struggling with the essential notion that something like 38% of the people around me think that Donald Trump is basically doing a fine job. Isn't that some kind of...

That is sad news. He wrote clever stories, with a kind of poetic tone. More like Bradbury than Asimov, and that can be tricky to pull off with science fiction. I thought I read something about an adaptation of his "Repent, Harlequin..." recently, too.

Yea, if it were me I'd just be sleeping in late. JMS never seems to stop for a minute. I look forward to hear what he's been up to.

Yea, there is a discussion on another thread about that. Amazon may only have it available in the USA, or our region, possibly. It's about time, B5 should have been showing in syndication a long time ago. It will be great to see it again.

What a nice way of putting it. Lowering the priority is a good description. We seem to be stick in a decades-long rut when it comes to comic-book movie adaptations. They can be great, but do we really need so many of them? :rommie: I also need to see Arrival, maybe I will this summer, even...

I just heard a rumor that Babylon 5 will be available on Amazon Prime sometime soon. That would certainly be a step in the right direction.

I've learned to hate spoilers, I have ever since Star Trek TNG. And they do make earplugs you can wear at concerts. I actually learned about them here, at this board, many years ago. They are meant to keep your ability to hear, just edit out the most damaging decibels, I think...

I probably won't see it until it gets to HBO. But if it's still playing in the town north of me in another couple of weeks, perhaps I'll actually see a movie in the theater again. With earplugs. :)

Darn, sorry I missed it. Happy birthday, Jan!

That is a very good point. At least here, I think in England B5 had more of a normal following than it did here in the USA.

:lol: Yea. That is the truth. :bolian:

These days, doesn't everyone just plug into their phone and let the driver have the auto's radio?

Next time, buy a car which has a window between the back and front seat. Like in a limo. You can make him sit in the back. :p

:eek: Wow. Yes, very different. But I think you'd have heard that it was still alive after the first couple of seasons. You were meant to see Babylon 5. :angel:

I think JMS gave the Star Trek guys a detailed overview of his vision for Babylon 5. And then, suddenly, Star Trek does its first series not set on a starship but on a space station. With Star Trek's first arc-planned storyline. And a leader who become a religious figure. And... but sadly I...

Yea. It's depressingly familiar to me. Maybe I should shun JMS. My fandom seems to be the kiss of death, sometimes. Although, I seem to be doing better in recent years. Back in B5's day, I'd start watching series a few episodes before they were cancelled.

There is nothing wrong with having a strong cast. I just don't watch as much television as I used to since I discovered podcasts. Often I'm watching Netflix or Amazon but podcasts are really nice. You can still do housework and exercise and such, while hearing a story or newscast. I feel out...

Yea, I sometimes find myself amazed at how twisted the world of entertainment can be. It is more than just making a lot of money (though that is the first consideration, I'd think). It is more like having to destroy what you can't have. So you want to kill it so no one else can have it...

There's a man who loves his work. :thumbsup:
