I liked the TNT movies, and I liked season 5. There are episodes I didn't care for at all, like Learning Curve. Do I wish they were never made? Nope. I simply skip over them when I watch the DVDs. Hardly a big deal. JMS did say that everything would be tied up and answered by the end of...

It's been hours, is there truly no word?!? I'm thinking the B5 news is something about the script books (but it won't be Crusade, damnit). I don't understand his refusal to tell any further B5 stories as novels, comics or short stories. Sad. Raw Shark "No... no, I was meditating!" Captain...

http://news.yahoo.com/efrem-zimbalist-jr-star-fbi-dead-95-043831108.html I got a lot out of the William Edgars storyline. It was such a key piece of the slowly-revealed telepath situation. 'The Exercise of Vital Powers' was really unexpected, a largely dialogue episode, just after the EA...

Richard Compton directed 'Infection' and 'Midnight on the Firing Line,' both of which I thought were terrific. Some of his other episodes tended to be clunky, some of the ones which aren't considered among the best. But the first season was very clunky in some places and very polished in...

Hmm, I haven't heard anything about Bill Mumy and a falling out or anything like that. He was at the Phoenix convention, no problems that I could see. But the circumstances of Andrea Thompson and Claudia Christian were less than ideal, and they were there too. Yes, just a theory of mine...

"Don't write off the Goose until you see the box going into the hole!" Mad Max Once the script is changed, then I would say yes, all bets are off. Lyta was written out of the series after 'The Gathering,' with Harlan Ellison joking that she must not have been a very good telepath because she...

I think I'm the one who summarized it before. 'Wars of the Mind' was intended to be a feature film. Looks like there’s a short story in the ‘TV Movies’ script book I didn’t see before. Patricia Tallman was supposed to be in the Crusade episode 'The Path of Sorrows,' which was to depict Lyta's...

A script treatment (a partial one, really, just the set-up) appeared in one of the B5 script books, 'War of the Mind' I think it was called. After Lyta's Resistance stepped up their campaign against Psi Corps with terrorist attacks and abductions, the Corps retaliated. The conflict was...

There was a fair amount of emotion on display in Phoenix. I loved the stories about Jerry Doyle living with Andreas Katsulas, and the free ham he was obsessed with getting his hands on. And that part about several of the cast watching Galaxy Quest together one night was very funny. But my...

Thanks! I looked up Michael O'Hare's bio on Wikipedia, and it mentions the stress of playing a character with his own mental issues as being overwhelming for him, and in turn making O'Hare's own problems worse. I suppose that would be a real danger for an actor immersing himself in a...

I think the comics have been deemed 'somewhat canon' or 'mostly canon,' it's on the Lurker's Guide page someplace. As far as what in them is canon and what is not, you're on your own like the rest of us, no further details given. JMS ran into a weird problem with DC Comics, or at least an...

I was really disappointed when Michael O'Hare left the series. The character and O'Hare's performance really grew on me. I always thought it was plausible that the rumors were true, Warner Bros. wanted him replaced in order to renew the show for a second season. It just sounded right, partly...

I was never convinced that Bester was telling the truth about her being dissected, that seemed more like an opportunity to screw with Sheridan and Company, and inform them that they would never know for sure what happened to Talia. If she was dissected, why would he tell them THAT? Better...

When did all this happen? I looked at JMS Facebook page and didn't find it. Too bad, I really liked the b5scrolls page. I'm not sure what harm it was causing, or capable of causing. One gets the impression that Warners would prefer to have B5 disappear from the face of the Earth. Pity...

PHP]Interesting. I hadn't heard that. So why is Bester on the run in Crusade? Why isn't he with the Corps forces? [/PHP] I hope this quote thing works, grumble grumble... Bester was described in the Psi Corps trilogy as an example of the most dedicated telepath the Corps had produced, an...

HBO's series budgets vary. The reason I saw for Deadwood being canceled was that each episode cost $5 million, which was more than HBO was willing to continue funding. That figure was largely due to location shooting in the California mountains, and a small army of extras who were kept on the...

While watching Crusade, I was also never reminded of Star Trek. Beyond the basic format of a crew on a spaceship, the series was very different in tone, style, storytelling and characterization. The dense backstory, while not usually necessary to follow the storylines, really sets it apart...

I made it there in time for the Q&A with Claudia Christian, which was very funny. She's a firecracker, and always smiling or laughing. Then the JMS Q&A, which was also funny, but interesting, too. He answered some questions for a half hour, then spoke for another half hour on working with and...

Just got to my hotel, better get over there. I've been trying to get the online schedule, but the whole Phoenix Comic Con site is down. What timing! Raw Shark
