    Thirdspace - 1 Question

    I think that scene... the 'sex' one is a marmite thing... you either love it or hate it. I think Claudia carries funny material very well, it's just that my definition of good comedy seems to differ drastically with JMS'.

    How would you reboot B5?

    Hard to say really... It's anyone's best guess what the arc would be. I'm still convinced JMS wouldn't be content to simply tell the same story again. Although, a LOT of his B5 themes and material does get recycled into his earlier comics work, sometimes almost verbatim.

    Nope, definitely mean Martin Sheen. Sorry, when I said ‘opening’, I should have been more specific. I’m thinking of Martin’s rather dramatic entrance as the Soul Hunter when he arrives at the station. The opening scene with Ian McShane was fine, if memory serves me well. Agreed. I tend to...

    Thirdspace - 1 Question

    Whilst I struggled with a lot of Crusade, it did have some good moments and the overall feel was far more interesting than LOTR from the go get. If anything deserved to continue, it was Crusade. I believe LOTR was the result of Sci-fi channel rejecting a continuation of Crusade. So they asked...

    Thirdspace - 1 Question

    I know it wasn’t scripted that way, but the fact that this got past the producers, director and JMS. I remain slack jawed in awe that it wasn’t left on the cutting room floor. Someone should have demanded a reshoot of that scene. At the very least, they could have just kept the CGI, but...

    Thirdspace - 1 Question

    I think the only B5 TV Movie I really rate is ‘In the Beginning’, because it serves a purpose and adds real depth to the story. Thirdspace is strictly okay. As you said, it would have done with being creepier. Also, the ‘kill it with a nuke’ finale was also a tad chliched. It seems like a wasted...

    How would you reboot B5?

    B5 was without doubt one of the best SF series ever made, but it definitely wasn’t perfect. I won’t go into the ins and outs of where I think it fell down, but we all know the show had its flaws. I mean, I kinda love those flaws too, because they’re part and parcel of the B5 experience, but...

    ANYONE OUT THERE? Would be great if someone could sort this out.

    How would you reboot B5?

    Given the pace and amount of projects JMS is tied into, I think it could be a while! :confused: I'm not even that fussed about the rest of the WTHH books (even the first one felt like a bit of a stretch to me, and too padded out), but those audio dramas, I definitely like to hear them.

    How would you reboot B5?

    Maybe those audio dramas will happen EVENTUALLY! (not sexy ones... the ones JMS promoised with the rest of the Crusade WTHH books)

    How would you reboot B5?

    I'm still disappointed we don't yet have a continuity correct B5 porn parody. Trek has one... grumble... :lol:

    Looking for a mod to sort this out... Kevin Long (Republibot 3.0 on here) just posted the following on facebook. Can anyone help him get his account reset?

    My Kid's Reboot

    That’s a really great suggestion. I think the additional races added some texture to the B5 universe, but in the grand scheme of things, they were fairly inconsequential. It did help make the ‘UN in Space’ function of B5 more believable. I also always liked the fact that B5 was a bustling mecca...

    How would you reboot B5?

    Good point. I suppose it really depends where JMS mind is at as to the ‘reboot’. Logically, I would assume he want to use this as a fresh start, so he can set a new baseline and then expand on it from there. The film could lead into a new TV series, with WB blessing, or it could be a series of...

    How would you reboot B5?

    Thank you. I guess this is what happens when I get bored at work. It just seemed to me that some of the major plot points would necessarily have to change, otherwise where’s the fun for us old school fans?! I really must check out the live action Yamoto film, sounds like its worth my time...

    How would you reboot B5?

    Okay, here goes… My B5 reboot would be something like this: -We start from essentially the same point as the original B5 series. The universe is roughly the same, all our favourite key alien races are present and correct with representation on the station. I’d leave some wriggle room for...

    I Have A New WORST B5 Episode, and it is....

    Hard to disagree with that. But the competition isn’t exactly steep is it? Rangers (outright awful!) and The Lost Tales (so, so). I agree Crusade had potential, but it was produced at the wrong time, with an idiotic network, and with the wrong budget (far too low). Crusade felt too much like a...

    I Have A New WORST B5 Episode, and it is....

    I imagine it was a definite contributing factor. I mean, that whole situation left them very little time to get up and running. It must have been a REALLY difficult time for Joe. I can imagine his stress levels being through the roof. The notes being thrown out was a definite setback, and to...

    I Have A New WORST B5 Episode, and it is....

    ‘Infection’ was the one episode that stopped a close friend of mine from watching the show. It’s why I sometimes use a ‘abridged’ season one approach sometimes. After that episode he declared he ‘couldn’t take any more’ despite my reassurances that it was worth persevering with. I find it hard...
