    JMS speaks out on Michael O'Hare

    Jerry's a loudmouth jerk. I wouldn't believe he was sincere if he apologized.

    Best SciFi Series of All Time? Vote Here!

    1) Farscape - more fun and relate-able than B5 for me - better characterization 2) B5 - Great arcs but weak dialogue and so-so humor 3) X-Files - some of the best sci fi episodes ever but the show really went off the rails 4) Nu-BSG - Loved it until Season 3, then I just liked it

    Season 5: List of grievances

    I agree that it would have been better to show clear hints of Lennier's jealousy over the years. It did seem out of character to me at the time that he would let Sheridan die over his envy. He had to know that Delenn would never see him as a potential mate. Season 5 was mostly a mess in...

    Vangelis and Franke?

    Eh the first two pairs of notes sound close but the third pair is way off. When it comes to music, I'm sure that things are more likely to be left in someones subconscious than outright stolen in most cases. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Franke works on stuff and doesn't incorporate it into...

    B5 Music

    Lots of stuff. The Battle of the Line and the Centauri bombing Narn are probably my favs. I loved the first soundtrack with extended tracks. Born to the Purple had some good stuff as well. The only music I hated was Evan Chens from Crusade (almost all of it) and parts of the River of Souls...

    WB considering upgrading B5 for Blu Ray

    I think they should pay up to convert some big episodes and see how well they sell on Blu-Ray and go from there. The benefit they get from redoing them is that they can eventually put them up in HD on streaming services.

    WB considering upgrading B5 for Blu Ray

    I'm not putting too much hope into this. but you never know. I'm positive it will be done eventually. http://thewertzone.blogspot.com/2013/11/warner-brothers-considering-hd-update.html https://www.facebook.com/B5Scrolls/posts/554074721347592

    Breaking Bad

    Babylon 5 was the first great serialized TV show for me. But there have been many since then that I may like even more: Farscape The Sopranos (not quite so arc oriented) Deadwood Rome Carnivale The Wire The Shield Breaking Bad Game of Thrones Lost (first 3 seasons) I like Bruce, but there...

    one down..... now lets have one stateside,

    I didn't ask if he arranged the deal. I asked if he knew there was a deal with the UK TV channel before his last statement about it not having a home on TV. Either way it doesn't matter. There are simply too many channels these days for many people to pick up a show like B5 just surfing...

    one down..... now lets have one stateside,

    It is odd that shows like B5 and Farscape don't have a daily spot on SyFy. But then again that channel went to complete crap. Cable TV is really about niches and SyFy pretty much abandoned theirs. And there's no one out there to take their place I guess as they won't make money airing them.

    one down..... now lets have one stateside,

    That's the point. Did JMS start his campaign for B5 on TV after he knew it was going to end up on TV in the UK?

    one down..... now lets have one stateside,

    Hmm. Good point. Hopefully JMS wasn't in on the ruse.

    Script Descriptions

    I wanted to see how he described the ships. She kindly gave several examples and I've learned what I wanted and expected to. I'm simply not into B5 enough anymore to care about more than that.

    Script Descriptions

    This subject certainly deserved its own topic, but it can't be completely separated from the Emmy discussion as it provides evidence for/against JMS deserving credit for a Special FX Emmy. I think I'm done here though. It was interesting to see his descriptions for educational purposes.

    Script Descriptions

    Oh JMS knew about Blakes 7. He often spouted his love of Blakes 7, The Prisoner and the movie Seconds. That's why I investigated all of them. I'm pretty sure the homage to Blakes 7 in both the liberator and "Anna" were public.

    Script Descriptions

    Explain Red Letter Media and their take downs of the Star Wars prequels with TONs of footage. Public discourse doesn't have to be in a classroom to have fair use.

    Script Descriptions

    I'd be curious how JMS described the Drazi ship that looks like the ship from Blakes 7. I assume he also described the Vree ships as saucers. The streib was a weird design that probably wasn't described by JMS. One of the more disappointing ship designs was that of the alien that wanted to...

    Script Descriptions

    I absolutely think you're wrong. What you are doing is providing short excerpts for education, criticism and debate. Totally fair use. You need to provide it all in context, and by all that means whatever paragraphs describe the ships to be rendered. But it's up to you to post what you want...

    Script Descriptions

    Hmm. I never got the impression that the ship was deadly or even strange. It was one of my least favorite ship designs. I did like the idea of them exploring the reaches of known space. As far as posting stuff from the script. I assume just including ship descriptions is more than covered...

    So it appears JMS has taken down B5 scrolls

    Never noticed the footbone thing. I just saw it as a weird mushroom.
