    Who's going to Phoenix?

    I got my hotel and my ticket to Phoenix, now I need to get to my storage space to grab some stuff for B5 folks and comic authors to sign. Looking forward to it! So who else is going? Let's tear that city apart! Raw Shark "Butt what?" Delenn

    WWZ fiasco

    I just ran across this piece on the myriad problems in making the 'World War Z' film adaptation. http://movies.yahoo.com/news/brad-pitts-world-war-z-200-million-production-203112362.html I enjoyed the book, and was bummed that JMS took his name off of the project, after they brought in...

    Gary Cole on 'Veep'

    HBO. The first season just came out on disc, and I'm still not sure what the internet is. Raw Shark "Is our children learnin'?" George W. Bush

    Gary Cole on 'Veep'

    Looks like Gary Cole is guest starring on 'Veep' this weekend. If anyone hasn't seen it, it's a vicious skewering of Washington political culture. Probably the most creative use of swearing I've seen since 'South Park,' if you're into that sort of thing. Raw Shark "The President is really...

    B5 Books: 2 Important Updates

    Fantastic! I was afraid the Crusade books might have gone the way of JMS' B5 graphic novel that was in the works all those years, never to be seen again. I'm hoping we'll get to learn some things about where the series was going, given that the dialogue was so heavy in hints and foreshadowing...

    Robin Sachs, 1951-2013

    "What glory is there in eliminating an entire race, Coplann?" "Not as much as in the beginning." Robin Sachs has passed away, he was 61. He played four roles on Babylon 5. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/05/robin-sachs-dead_n_2625539.html

    Script Book 2.5 - and a coupon

    Thanks! There was a quick line on the b5scripts site about not being allowed to say what the delay was all about, but that line disappeared. Seemed kinda suspicious... Where does this 'Crusade curse' come from, anyway? Raw Shark "If you live among wolves you have to act like a wolf." Nikita...

    Script Book 2.5 - and a coupon

    So are the Crusade 'What the Hell Happened?' books kaput? They do seem to be moving forward with more B5 books, and haven't mentioned Crusade in some time. If they didn't sell enough to justify further volumes, they could just say so. I sure would like to see them continued. Raw Shark "Make...

    Peter David Suffers a Stroke

    Wow! Sorry to hear this. I've really enjoyed Peter's writing ever since he took over Dreadstar from Jim Starlin in 1989. His wit is tough to beat. I wish him all the best in his recovery. Raw Shark

    Season 1 hump....

    I started with Midnight on the Firing Line. When Garibaldi mentioned the transport being leased by a refugee export service, I knew I was onto something really different. Raw Shark "Minbari... pale, bloodless, look in their eyes and see nothing but mirrors, infinities of reflection. Will not...

    Season 1 hump....

    I love season one. Like B5 itself, it's a great experiment. The results are sometimes brilliant, sometimes clunky. The fist fights are generally not great, some of the guest stars detract from their episodes, some stuff just doesn't work. But the writing was so radically different from...

    Passing of Turhan Bey

    Turhan Bey, who portrayed Emperor Turhan in 'The Coming of Shadows,' has passed away at age 90. A wonderful performance, to be sure. I remember reading somewhere that JMS got some grief for killing off the character after one episode, because people on set enjoyed working with Mr. Bey...

    Passing of Michael O'Hare

    From JMS today via Facebook: "I regret that I must convey the sad news that Michael O'Hare passed away today. He suffered a heart attack on Sunday and was in a coma until his passing this afternoon. This is a terrible loss for all B5 fans and everyone involved with the show wishes to...

    Telepath War

    Ha ha, yes, a 'sci fi' channel would be something to see! Raw Shark "And then there are these other currents, which..." "Vir! Yes or no?!?"

    Telepath War

    There were lots of little details in the last Psi Corps Trilogy book, but they weren't all that revealing. Bester was put on trial as the most notorious war criminal of the conflict. Psi Corps operated a series of concentration camps, which shocked Humanity when they were revealed. Psi...

    Comic-Con 2012

    Hmm. Wasn't there some non-explanation on the b5scripts.com page a while ago? I forget how it went. I miss Crusade, that show had so many great directions to go in. Although whenever I see Captain Gideon now, I think of a mountain lion, Columbian Bam Bam, and people getting kicked out of...

    Comic-Con 2012

    I was referring to what was supposed to be a series of books. The future volumes were announced, but they are not scheduled, and there is no news on whether or not they will be coming out at all. I'm not terribly concerned with the first volume's availability, because I already own it. I had...

    Comic-Con 2012

    Cool that JMS has some new stuff lined up. I'm surprised he's going back to Image, I'm sure there's a story there. Does anyone know what happened to the 'Crusade: What the Hell Happened?' books? Again, surprising they haven't given any explanation for their sudden disappearance. Stupid...

    Explosion in "The Gathering"

    The controlled rotation would have become a wild, uncontrolled rotation. The station moving in directions it was not designed for would have caused shearing force on structural sections and possibly destroy them, one after another. Would have been ugly. Londo might have spilled his drinks...
