According to his website, he was G'Dan in "And the Rock Cried Out, No Hiding Place."

Mira is awesome. Me too. It's the look on Sebastian's face as he says it. We get a glimpse into his own private Hell. A brutal interrogation in which the question is not "Where's the bomb?" but "Who are you?" And it's done with such style.

I didn't particularly care for the old show, and if the new one had been a faithful recreation of it, I wouldn't have watched it. That said, I understand why the fans of the old show are angry. Many of them watched the show as kids; the new show is totally inappropriate for children.

I voted average, keeping in mind that "average" for B5 is outstanding for many other shows. I don't like the beginning, though. jms, if you must lecture us on the virtues of gun control, don't insult our intelligence by using a clown to represent the opposite side.

Re: The kinda-strong Darth Librarian sees Serenity It was a good line. Only three episodes left. *sigh*

Re: The kinda-strong Darth Librarian sees Serenity I've now seen "Trash." It was hilarious, and I thoroughly enjoyed the return of the lovely, treacherous Saffron. I especially liked the outraged cry of one of her victims: "I shaved my beard for you, Devil Woman!" The episode shows that Mal...

Re: The kinda-strong Darth Librarian sees Serenity What struck me about the scene in "Bushwhacked" was that Jayne's fear seemed out of character for him. Whatever else Jayne is, he's not a coward. That suggested to me that something deeper was involved -- disillusionment, bitterness...

Re: The kinda-strong Darth Librarian sees Serenity Well, I've seen all the episodes now up to "War Stories." I'll stick to my guns and say that Josh Whedon is better at characterization than jms. Whedon managed to make a loathesome character like Jayne interesting. He is corrupt, but he...

jms obviously can create complex, interesting characters, but I think Whedon is his superior in this regard. Case in point (I'm quoting one of the fine reviews of Entil2001): Now, Babylon 5 is a big, complicated story, and we don't need to know the characters in such exquisite detail to...

Excellent. One of my personal top ten. There was an excellent review at the old Tachyon site. I wish I'd saved a copy of it. Does anyone else have it?

After seeing "Our Mrs. Reynolds," I'm beginning to warm up to Mal. It's obvious from the behavior of the crew that he's set everyone's teeth on edge from time to time, but he's a decent guy. This is my first exposure to a Whedon show, and I am impressed by the deep, intricate interaction between...

He strikes me as liu2 kou3shui3 de5 biao3zi5 he2 hou2zi5 de5 ben4 er2zi5 ("stupid son of a drooling whore and a monkey,") as Simon says. I realize that he's a tough, no-nonsense kind of guy, Simon can be a stuck-up prig, and River a pain in the ass. My perspective may change as I watch more...

I've seen my third episode of Firefly ("Safe.") It comes together for me now. Whedon's world of high-tech Neo-Victorians who mix English and Chinese is real. Simon and River have become people I care about. Mal still sets my teeth on edge, and I'd just as soon see Jayne spaced, but I want to see...

I've seen the series, but not the miniseries. This may not be the right place for this post, but I will leave out spoilers. First of all, I think it's a great show. As good as Babylon 5? I'll tell you when it's over. I've seen too many promising shows crash and burn -- Sliders and Earth: Final...

Re: Lost: \"Do No Harm\" - Episode 20 (spoilers) Agreed. And I didn't like that "however many years the show has." They'll keep it up until they've run the show into the ground.

The first time I saw it, it was just an episode about unpleasant things happening to a character I didn't know very well. The second time (after I had seen the whole series, and had myself become a huge Sheridan fan) I found it deeply moving, and could appreciate Bruce Boxleitner's terrific...

Re: Lost: \"Do No Harm\" - Episode 20 (spoilers) It was awfully predictable. If Boone had survived, but Claire had died in labor, that would have been a twist, and given Jack something to really feel guilty about. I felt sorry for Shannon for the the first time in the show, watching her weep...
