Very true. Once the opening scenes play the rest will follow a set pattern.

Re: Children of Dune Looking back from today's perspective the 1984 DUNE is not that good from a technical standpoint but when it first came out it was a "ground breaker." I always did like the 1984 version and have an original four hour tape. I also have a tape and DVD for DUNE 2000. Wasn't...

Re: Children of Dune Just finished watching CoD and am not too impressed. Had its good points but also its bad points. I'll give it 3 on a scale of 5.

Antony, When I tried to log in I kept getting "incorrect password." The password I used was the same one I've used on this board since I joined. Finally got in by getting a temporary password. Suggestions?

True. There are very few shows with a real "arc" so I suspect the viewing public's attention span is short so they like "stand alone" or "mini-arc" eps with good CGI and lots of action over a well thought out story, also with good CGI and action, that builds over time.

Watching SG-1 last night got me wondering why shows like SG-1, Buffy and X-Files, consisting primarily of 'stand-alone' and 'mini-arc' episodes, go into Seasons Six, Seven and so on but shows with an 'arc' end after the arc is completed and spin-offs from an arc-based series rarely succeed? Any...

And you kept quiet? For shame!

I suspect most of us would like to see something done with the Telepath War and with Pat Tallman back as Lyta.

Excellent! Enid Raye-Adams is a very talented actress and I hope she finally gets a long-term part where she can show her abilities.

Sounds like a good idea, Fas. But I would suggest a 6-hr mini-series like CoD with, as you suggested Walter Koening as Bester and with Patricia Tallman back as Lyta.

Given the B5 Universe is slipping but far from dead so what can be done to jump start the B5 universe? Suggestions, anyone?

Who's "Dun?" <tongue-in-cheek>

No problem. One of the lessons I've learned in life is when you make a mistake, admit it, fix it if you can, and go on.

That it does, Joe. That it does. It's called "LIFE."

Makes me wonder how much is actual Roddenberry's and how much is additions by Majel? Not hard to take a few notes written about a possible plot, add one's own ideas and claim it came Roddenberry himself. Just call me, "The Skeptical Gangster."

Actually it was a typo, Recoil, so corrected it. At 71, the fingers get ahead of the brain so reverse letters sometimes. I am doing that more and more. They call it "Old Timer's Disease." <G>

Re: There\'s nothing left for me to watch I'm afraid SF has gone downhill in the past few years, mainly I suspect because no one has put out a quality series. The Trek writers have run out new ideas so viewers turn it off more and more. When the producers/advertisers see this fall off, they...

Sadly, I've noticed a deciline in posts about B5 and B5 related shows like Crusade and Rangers over the past few months and it makes me wonder if the B5 Univrese is dying or, hopefully, just taking a nap? Scifi Channel's relegating B5 to the "filler" category doesn't help. Comments?

Re: Warren\'s Projects As the old newsreels in movies used to say, "Time Marches On."

That is certainly something none of us want to do with the exception of convincing her she is burnt out and it is time for her to look for a new job.
