There's a new interview with Bill Mumy by the Star Trek: Enterprise guys: It's mostly about his career as a child actor, but he does talk about B5. Nothing really enlightening – mostly him moaning about the make-up and the story about Susan Kellerman losing it in the make-up chair while...

I did wonder about that. If I remember rightly, TNT asked for the movies, and presumably stumped up all the cash to make them, whereas I'm guessing season 5 was at least part-funded by WB. Or maybe season 5 does have the same contractual problems as the movies, but perhaps WB paid for the...

The last time that B5 aired on broadcast television in the UK, which was about 5 years ago on one of the Sky channels, they showed the TNT movies. This was prior to the HD remasters. And TNT's involvement has never prevented the movies or Crusade being issued on DVD. So whatever has changed has...

Of course, don't forget I work in publishing. Our cover prices keep having to go up in response to printing and paper costs. But everytime our price goes up, we lose readers because people's earnings are not rising at the same rate. Book prices seem to have stabilised a bit because they have...

I think I actually bought your copy of 2.5 from you. I didn't get it when it was originally released I think because of finances, but I had no idea there were two versions of PoD so I was quite curious. There was also the CD that came with it, whether that was enough to balance out the price I...

So... what is this? I thought there were only 3 volumes, is this a spiral bound proof of content that ended up in the other books?

Ah, by cramming I actually meant the opposite – cramming it so full of detail it potentially becomes impenetrable. I was probably a bit harsh in my statements. I appreciate it's difficult to get the balance right between brevity and detail. I can tell from the updates it's going to be the best...

Fair enough, I should have used a different word to feedback as I wasn't literally expecting Jason Davis to read this message board, nor is it really my place to give him feedback on a project I've not seen yet, plus I doubt he'd want some random person on the Internet telling him what to write...

Didn't say you had to report it to him. Didn't even think that. I was just making a comment on a message board. You're the one who jumped in and tried to get involved. So the book is like the example I described above, is what you're saying. Ok. I'll judge it properly once I've got the...

No, you've taken that completely the wrong way. I've been following his project updates so I am paying attention, thank you very much for your condescension. My profession is writing and editing, a job I've been doing professionally since before 2008, and I know from experience there can be a...

Not yet. Although I think a draft of the first book has gone out to proofreaders. I am a bit iffy on how it has expanded to 4 books that we now have to fork out for; there's a fine line between including all the necessary details, and cramming the books with too many unnecessary details...

My point was, Bester not knowing, but some people in Psi Corps seemingly having some idea, isn't played on at all in the story, so the inclusion of the telepath assassins in Conflicts of Interest seems like a thread that is not followed up. I don't doubt Bester is out of the loop on a lot of...

Just bringing this thread back from the dead – I watched this episode the other night, and I was a little bit confused by the presence of the telepath assassins. They seemed to want to get their hands on the cure and kill everyone involved, which implies they knew at least a little bit about...

I've just seen this about Blake's 7 being released on Blu-ray with a remastered edition. Maybe the Beeb were listening to us after all! https://gizmodo.com/blakes-7-blu-ray-remaster-doctor-who-bbc-terry-nation-2000489914

It is brilliant, isn't it? Though I have to say, I am starting to get a little annoyed by the disks constantly falling out of the packaging whenever I open it - I might have to get a second boxset as security in case any of the disks get scratched!

If it was only on Patreon then it must have got leaked because I'm not on Patreon and I saw all that stuff on Twitter. From what I recall the first inkling we got that something was up was JMS asking for CGI models on Twitter but not saying why other than it wasn't anything bad. I think TripleF...

Have you ever seen Jonathan Creek, Looney? That's a pretty good mystery show about a magician solving crimes. Indeed, my parents do like watching Dr Blake Mysteries.

I did enjoy Terrahawks as a child, but then again I was only 4. The only thing I really remember about it now is Zelda. Original Trek is in my top three shows of all time, but there are definitely episodes that are so weird as to be unwatchable. Shore Leave, The Alternative Factor, and that...

That counts me out then! Whenever I've tried to watch Space: 1999 I've always found it terribly embarrassing. Cool ships, though. UFO, on the other hand, was decent from what I remember. Always liked Ed Straker. Other than that and Red Dwarf, I generally can't get into British TV science...

I'm curious. Was there ever a reason given for why it was made in such secrecy?
