We saw the Great Eye of Z'ha'dum only twice in the series. We saw much more of it in the Technomage novel trilogy. It is a vast, advanced and powerful machine which had tendrils throughout Z'ha'dum, and access to all its sensors, energies and resources. Basically it is like a mega version of...

I would miss it too. Don't pull the plug just yet! Raw Shark "Vir! Yes or no?!?" Londo

A new B5 book project, hmmm... http://b5books.com/ Raw Shark "There is no greater joy than the ecstasy of victory." The Great Eye of Z'ha'dum

I don't blame you, Crusade was building up to some very cool stuff. It really all goes back to the B5 episode 'Infection,' the first one filmed, that goes into the idea that space-faring races have been exterminated all over the galaxy, worlds pulverized and left barren, repeatedly over the...

Jan, I hadn't heard about Warners blocking projects before. Is it possible JMS brought this upon himself? Didn't he say a few years ago that they had mentioned the possibility of other projects, and he told them no, only a big budget film? Do I have that right? It is incredibly sad that B5...

It would be nice if he would write a few more short stories for B5, just to let us know he's serious. I imagine he has many ideas for them. And which piece of news is the one that we should be talking about for a long time? Is it possible JMS is involved in the tv series for Neil Gaiman's...

I think those are the only two actors to appear in both shows. Most of the actors on B5 were Americans, and I think there have only been four Yanks in Thrones. I agree, McShane kind of stole the show on Thrones. B5 and Game of Thrones are so similar in many ways. GoT really distracts me...

Ian McShane (B5: River of Souls) appeared in an episode of Game of Thrones last week. I had never seen him in anything before River of Souls, he's a terrific actor. Raw Shark "I know more about ISIS than the generals, believe me." Donald Trump, American buffoon

I never got into the miniatures, although I bought a few from Agents of Gaming as they were collapsing. I doubt there is a Cyclops miniature. The later books, like the trilogies, are considered more canon than the earlier ones, but not 100%, otherwise JMS might have found himself painted into...

Related to the motherships, I think, yes. I imagine it's a follow-up design, more of a military vessel, either for risky exploration missions (they already lost one ship on such a mission, along with its crew, in the short story 'Genius Loci' by JMS), or because Psi Corps knew they would go to...

Just to break up the monotony 'new passports' for everyone... 'The Nautilus Coil' described a new Psi Corps ship, the Cyclops cruiser. Garibaldi and Lyta find one floating dead over a Vorlon colony world. I haven't seen anything in the Mongoose books or anywhere else on these ships. Were...

I was thinking about that after my last post. I think it's more likely that JMS doesn't want to burn his bridges with TNT and maybe Warner Bros. Via his online statements since B5 began, he has been very honest about how Hollywood works, and sometimes it's not pretty. He may have a reputation...

But Jan, if Cafe Press or JMS is somehow prevented from publishing more Crusade books or anything else because they lack permission from Warners, then why not just say 'Hey folks, those Crusade books we announced we were going to publish have been put on hold indefinitely,' or canceled, or...

I might check this out. So I take it there's been no word on the further 'Crusade: What the Hell Happened?' volumes? They changed their whole site, I didn't see anything about them on there anymore. Maybe I'm the only one who bought it. It's sad that JMS is just letting Crusade die off...

Here's something that instantly reminded me of 'Messages from Earth.' Apparently the ancient Babylonian astronomers called Jupiter the 'White Star.'...

The Vorlons needed to bring the Minbari and the humans together for the final Shadow war, so they planned ahead. Or behind, I don't know. Their allies Sheridan, Delenn and Sinclair used the Great Machine for its time travel capabilities, and stole Babylon 4 to send a thousand years in the...

Theodore Bikel has died at age 91. He played Ranger Lanonn in 'In the Beginning,' as well as Rabbi Koslov in 'TKO'. I loved the character of Lanonn, an ignored and ridiculed figure who never gave up on his cause. I think he was the only one who showed how outcast and peripheral the life of a...

I don't remember issues 2 and 3 all that well, they got too silly, compared to the first. I'll have to dig mine out of storage and see what you're talking about. My favorite part in issue 1 was when they were learning the history of the MInbari war fleet which was fighting the Shadows in the...

Any idea when he said that? The 'In Valen's Name' comic series (3 issues) went into Valen's story a fair amount (no, not really what anyone was hoping for), and what happened after he met the Minbari a thousand years ago. It's told simultaneously with a storyline where Sheridan and company...

I agree, many similarities in structure, character development, and bringing previously unrelated elements together, among others. The White Walkers especially remind me of the legend of the Shadows, an ancient, mysterious threat that has been sleeping for thousands of years and so forth. I...
