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:

That's starting to sound like homework.

It would be great to see her back on television again. Is the series any good? I notice you mention name recognition.

That is really great news. I'd say it's about time, he's had such a widely spanning career and didn't exactly have an ideal childhood. HIs biography could really inspire a lot of people, especially kids who are not in a good place.

He certainly did that. And still got to follow something of his original story, too. Maybe not as impressive as the Valen backstory, but hey it did resolve a horrible cyclic war that wasted entire planetary systems. That's pretty good, too. :) BIG ;)

:lol: Yea, as usual JMS seems to have been the first in the USA, at least. After B5, stories with arcs did suddenly become all the rage. Now, shows are being allowed to write a wrap up at least, or so it seems to me. It isn't like the old days where it was common for shows to just suddenly...

That is a good question. I agree with Kraig. Saying "I serve life, one or a million doesn't matter" is like a mission statement. Saying "we had to choose between losing millions or billions" is more like a status report. It's not your ideal, just your unfortunate reality.

It is pretty amazing that JMS could adjust to all sorts of changes (actors leaving, aliens or plots not working as you had hoped, your network destructing then a sudden extra season. No one can say he wasn't flexible. And it is great to know people are still discovering this wonderful...

:rommie: Well, it's been a long time since we've seen our saccharine Shadow rep. That was a lot of fun, thanks for sharing it. :)

I never saw another series the meant as much to me. Nothing like it has ever been made since, either. It really was an amazing, glorious event in science fiction television history.

Thanks a lot, Kraig! :beer::dancing:

I have no idea. Yes, I had read/heard the fan theory that the undead Dragon was the real objective of the Night King. I'm almost uncaring who wins the throne. I just want to know where Arya will end up. :) In this universe, Daenerys might make sense as a world leader. But she kind of...

I actually have to go and watch the last episode of this season. It's still on my DVR (starting up the new academic year had some complications, it's been busy at work). I'll come back and read the thread after that. :)

I actually have to catch up on tonight's episode and maybe even last week's. I'm getting behind on a lot of things, here. :o
