Speaking of books, I'm definitely going to get JMS' upcoming book The Glass Box (its sf! Sounds like the first real sf he's written since B5, not counting TRH of course) - annoyingly in the UK it's not due for release by Titan until March and only in paperback, so I'll have to order the hardback...

The ISN newsreader in The Road Home definitely describes it as a "12-world alliance". The B5 wiki lists more than 12 worlds, and to be honest I don't know how trustworthy the wiki is (I'm pretty sure the Enphili were not in the alliance, for example) . The B5 Encyclopedia doesn't list the member...

They're all members of the League of Non-Aligned Worlds, but given that TRH says there's only 12 members of the Alliance, it seems some joined and some haven't (yet). I liked the Iksha's spacecraft and it was a shame we didn't see them again. And yes the Abbai, that was the race where Robin...

While re-watching The Road Home the other day, I noticed that the ISN newsreader said that there were 12 members of the ISA. I set about wondering if I could name them all: Earth Minbar Narn Drazi Brakiri Hyach Pak'ma'ra Gaim Vree Who are the other three members? By this point in the show the...

I think that's a subjective opinion – I don't think it has established anything objectively.

No, it is in Atonement, when Delenn is explaining to the rest of her clan how she is a descendent of Valen. I don't have the episode immediately to hand to confirm myself, but JMS' post that Jan linked to above is dated after WWE part 2 aired, and in it he refers to a forthcoming episode made...

I guess that's always the danger when so much time has passed between when the original show ended and now, and not having many of the original people who developed the look of the show still around and involved (and by the way, in hindsight that In Memory, Still Bright list could and should...

Just to clarify, we don't actually *see* Zathras bring the triluminaries specifically. I had to search for which episode their origin was mentioned in, looks like it was explained by Delenn in Atonement – a detail that was easy to have missed or forgotten (I had!) Btw, welcome to the forum...

No, this version hasn't been released on DVD before, and it's not exactly the same as the Laserdiscs as I don't believe they were taken from the original masters (though someone might correct me on that). This remaster was made around 2021, I think, it's only been made available on streaming...

I really disliked the Shadow vessels in TRH. Why did it have writhing tentacles? JMS has said he mostly let the animation designers use their own creativity, and I'm all for not stifling creativity, but you don't mess with a classic design like the Shadow vessels. Same with the White Star. From...

JMS gets asked this a lot, this is one tweet I found where he responds to those questions about Crusade. I understand his point of view – to WB, and the general audience, it is very niche.

If they'd ended there I would agree with you, but then they just had to go and make those movies... First Contact aside, Picard fixed many of the mistakes of those movies for me!

Whatcha talking about, Picard season 3 was great! With that and B5 coming out on blu-ray, I feel like I'm getting some proper closure on my two favourite science fiction shows.

JMS called it a "love-letter to the fans" but has also talked about it being accessible to new viewers. Maybe that side of things was mandated by WBs not wanting it to be too niche so they could market it better? But I agree that this results in a split personality the film has that is somewhat...

Just watching it again, with the commentary on, and JMS confirms that the woman's voice on the radio on Z'Ha'Dum is Anna, but there wasn't time to explain who she is.

Perhaps. but Sheridan would still remember the details from his own timeline even if the new timeline has different details.

I did think about that when I wrote my review. That was a much more complex situation, since Sheridan had just blown up his ex-wife, who Delenn hadn't told him was still alive, so there was this question of whether Sheridan even trusted her or could forgive her. There was lots of subtext. I...

Amazon came through and sent me The Road Home three days early! And now I've had the pleasure of watching the first new Babylon 5 in 16 years, if my maths is correct. What did I think of it? Well, I'm still not entirely sure what I think of it! [Beware some spoilers in my comments below, but...

IT IS HERE. (@Looney I see what you mean about not getting a perfect slip case.)

Check your bank account – I got a notification from bank last night that money had gone out, but the dispatch note from Amazon didn't come through until this morning.
