Having now had the opportunity to see the finale in Britain, I have to feel slightly underwhelmed by the way the show ended ... although I have only dipped into and out of the show and really need to get seasons 3, 4 and 5 (as they are noted in the UK) on DVD and see it properly. That might put...

IIRC the opening narration of each season was written in the past tense spcifically to imply that it was retrospective of the events from sometime in the future ... the most obvious example being The Gathering.

And from what I can tell, very definitely not space-based.

I'll take the largest one you can let me have ... just let me know how you want to sort out postage, PayPal, cheque in the mail, whatever.

Not Bruce Willis? :D

And if people didn't watch it, or buy it on DVD (thereby making it profitable) then they wouldn't do it. Does that say more about the studios or the audience?

Time off for good behaviour? :D Galacid ... you don't say where you are, but IIRC the Complete Universe set was indeed not only an Amazon but specifically an Amazon UK exclusive never available elsewhere. If you are in the UK, the one thing you need to bear in mind is that the UK (or maybe...

hyp. haven't seen it myself but a couple of buddies of mine watched it last weekend and said it was "fine", as long as you ignore the fact that the original even exists and just enjoy it for what it is ... which is a typical Hollywood SF blockbuster. Might check it out, or might wait for the DVD...

Browsing through my Sky magazines at the weekend, I noticed that The Lost Tales are coming to Sky Movies during December ... unfortunately, I appear to have recycled the magazine already, but I don't think there were any specific times given for when it was appearing.

Can't comment on the US version of this, although I did love what I saw of the British version, I just have a burning question that I would genuinely like an answer to. Why does the US so often make its own versions of British TV shows (the other biggie recently being The Office, of course)...

Yeah and I watched it at a maximum rate of one episode per week over five years or so. Imagine that. :D

No question ... it just bugs the hell out of me that the reaction becomes "this is rubbish" rather than "I don't like this" too often.

The script books mean you have already had that wish granted anyway! :D

Strawman. That was never the argument for or against the music in Crusade. JMS came right out and said at the time that he had hired Chen because he wanted music that was completely different from the music in Babylon 5, because it was a different show. The value of Chen's music in Crusade is...

If I remember JMS' postings correctly, I think he said that the cure woudl indeed be found around midway through S2, but that the cure itself wouldn't be what everyone thought it was and no one within the Earth hierarchy would listen to the Excalibur crew when they tried to explain. It was after...

You're absolutely right ... but we did only see 13 episodes of Crusade, and only 5 that weren't subject to the various pushings and pullings of TNT. 5 years of B5 watching should have alerted you to the fact that nothing is ever quite the way it first appears to be. The shame with Crusade is...

No idea ... I was never actually that interested in it in the first place. I am just struggling to think of anything else (bar the obvious things like the Crusade scripts which we already know it isn't going to be) that the fans have been waiting for for the last five years. Unless they have...

But again, that's a matter of taste. I disagree with that, I think it does stand up. Granted it stands up better once you know why certain parts of it turned out the way they did (TNT) and factor that in, but overall I still thought the show stood up by itself even without the crutch of being a...

Actually, that's exactly what I meant ... in the sense that we get to see some of the tech that is implanted in his body ... I just didn't put it very clearly.

I agree with one point you made. In some ways it is a mess, but the blame for that doesn't lie at the door of JMS and the rest of the crew who made it. If memory serves, Trace (the pilot) was added in following a note from TNT that they would like some sort of cocky pilot character, in much...
