    A Thought About the Vorlons

    Thanks! Yeah, one or two loose ends out there. It's crazy re-watching and realizing just how thick the dialogue is with clues, indications, signs and portents, as it were. I remember going back to 'Infection,' and Garibaldi is telling the story to a reporter, in an off-hand kind of way, about...

    A Thought About the Vorlons

    The Vorlons always wanted to appear to be more protective of their tech than they really were. Similarly, they claimed 'We take no interest in the affairs of others,' which was a lie. They had visited alien homeworlds for a very long time, manipulated aliens' DNA and histories, and their...

    Legions of Fire: Out of the Darkness. WTH?

    Hmm, had a couple of indications you were someone I know. I looked in the two most likely spots and it's not in either, so it's probably in my storage space. I'll take a look next time I'm there. I own the three paperbacks, but later bought the hardcover collection, so no need for the...

    Legions of Fire: Out of the Darkness. WTH?

    I'd be happy to part with my copy, but would this book by any chance be taken to Antarctica? Raw Shark "Let's blow this cocktail stand!" Shandra C.

    Probably, the last update to B5Scrolls.

    Artifacts From Beyond the Rim?

    Has anyone bought this book yet? I'm wondering if others have found it worthwhile? Raw Shark "This isn't holding a grudge, it just happened!" Peter Weller, Fifty/Fifty

    Scripts Vol. 15 question

    The Warrior Caste is a surly lot, surely they could find time for another civil war, especially if they found out about Sinclair/Valen. Xenophobic, racist/purist, feeling betrayed by the Council once again... we've seen that they have a breaking point, beyond which they are compelled to fight...

    Scripts Vol. 15 question

    Thanks once again, Jan! I think I had read about half of those details on other threads, but knew I must have missed some things. Obviously most of those events would not work in the version of B5 that was immortalized, but we saw EarthForce preparing for the next war from the very first episode...

    Scripts Vol. 15 question

    So I'm wondering if there were any details given about the Second Earth-Minbari War in Vol. 15? I read somewhere on these boards that Earth wins the next one, presumably armed with Shadow tech. Londo says of the eventual revealing of the secret that ended the first war, "That... is another...

    More B5 on the way?

    Jan, I seem to remember JMS saying that total creative control would be unheard of in a feature film, unless you're a Spielberg or a Lucas (shudder). But I'm not sure how that would work in this case, since he owns the rights to the movie option. Sounds like a Hollywood stand-off in the...

    More B5 on the way?

    Jan, I thought JMS said he would only consider a feature film? I don't remember him mentioning anything about 'settling' for a series. I would gladly 'settle' for a series, that would be the best format for more B5. I'm going to hold my breath until April. Or until I pass out and have wild...

    JMS To Quit Monthly Comics

    I never, ever got the impression that anyone who was Robin was capable of being Batman one day. They've been out of ideas for a long time. Sounds like red Hulks and blue Hulks, etc: not interesting. 'The Cult' is one of my favorite Batman stories, but it's also one that put a lot of people...

    JMS To Quit Monthly Comics

    A graphic novel is also more likely to feature gratuitous sex and horrific violence, if you're into those things. Stray Toasters springs to mind. Or Sex Warrior. Or Miracleman #15. Raw Shark "If there's one thing I can't stand... it's greed." Robert Vaughn, Superman III

    JMS To Quit Monthly Comics

    Unless someone has a better definition, graphic novels are finite stories rather than ongoing series, intended more for adult readers than kids. Someone figured out years ago that many people who read comics as kids were growing up, and had outgrown the way the stories were told in the monthly...

    If you could create your own B5 spinoff...

    I would like to read some of your spin-off ideas. Not sure if you want to post them or send them privately, either way. Raw Shark "Actually Mr. President, that wasn't a bunker, it was a hospital. But it was a hell of a strike." Rip Torn, Canadian Bacon

    Superman: Earth One

    I remember the other film with George C. Scott, I liked it. But I thought JMS had written something in advance of Changeling's release describing it as a supernatural movie. I could be wrong. I was happier when it turned out to be historical, showing that he can write things other than sci...

    Superman: Earth One

    Thanks Jan! I've had it with buying comics I later regret reading, much less buying. Now I'm careful. I liked Changeling a lot, but I do seem to remember there being some early word that it was going to be a supernatural kind of movie, do I have that right? Ninja Assassin was an enjoyable...

    The races of Babylon 5 based on fictional sci-fi books

    JMS said at some point that the Narns are like the Israelis. They're so traumatized by their past that they have adopted a form of ultra-nationalism, which sometimes blinds them to the consequences of their actions. And their will to resist the Centauri at every turn eventually leads them...
