    interesting op/ed on the state of television

    I thought this op/ed by Jonah Goldberg on the decline in the quality of television was pretty interesting for two reasons: 1) The thesis that the "Golden Age" of television in the 50s and 60s wasn't really as golden as the 80s and 90s. I'm not old enough to make a fair comparison myself, but...

    Big B5 update from jms!!!

    Not to gloat, but I just found the exact quote on Lurker (second bullet under "About the series in general"). ;) As a side note, was anyone else ever slightly bothered by the number of times they use big round numbers for time in B5 (1000 years since the last Shadow War, 500 years until the...

    Big B5 update from jms!!!

    Are you sure about that Joe? I seem to recall him stating it the other way (100/1000, not 1000/1,000,000). Anyone have the exact quote?

    Update from JMS

    But they do have access to Nielsen rating demographics.

    Update from JMS

    OK, fair enough Joe. But I'd still like to get your response to the other question I posed to you in my last post: "Also, Joe--as long as I have your attention, I was wondering about the comment you made in an earlier post about WB being pleasantly surprised by the demographics of those who...

    Update from JMS

    Do we know that there *is* a script yet, and not just a concept? You mean like "Dune"? ;) A mini-series that lasts 6 hours with commercials is only 4.5 hours without the commercials. That's only twice as long as a feature film. There *are* examples of different versions of the same story...

    Update from JMS

    Does anyone else think that the way JMS phrased it leaves open the possibility that the second project is really just the first one in an alternate format...like a story that WB may want as a feature film, but their backup plan is to do it as a mini-series?

    Fresh from the Rumor Mill

    It should be noted that the info that's been released on Season 4 extras does *not* include Jason Carter as one of the actors doing an episode commentary. This could be referring to separate interview material though.

    Melissa Gilbert reelected SAG president

    Don't know if this has been posted yet: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1984992 It's funny how the election was between a B5 actor and a Farscape actor...(Kent McCord played John Crichton's father on Farscape.)...with a Star Trek actor winning the job of...

    Season 4 DVDs for R1 in January?

    If Boxleitner, Doyle, Jurasik, and Tallman are all going to be doing commentary for the *same* episode, that narrows down the possibilities for which episode it could be, as I imagine they'd do it for an episode that they all appear in. The only S4 episodes that all four of them appear in are...

    I cannot for the life of me get the tvshowsondvd page to load for me, but you can find the cover art at the very bottom of the page on this thread on the Trek BBS: http://www.trekbbs.com/threads/showflat.php?Board=UBB11&Number=1827343

    Gerry Doyle Interview

    But what I'd like to know is, where did you hear that Boxleitner had an "initial understanding" that he would have a central role in the spinoff series? That's something that I've heard from the rumor mill since 2001, but have never been able to figure out where it came from. I have some...

    Gerry Doyle Interview

    I have two questions: 1) Does anyone know what IGN is refering to when it says that "rumors [are] swirling...about a potential revival of B5"? What rumors have there been outside of this interview? 2) Does anyone know what the story is on the contention that Crusade was initially planned to...

    Major Publicity for Season 3

    Anyone seen the ad for the B5 S3 DVD on the lower right-hand corner of the front page of Yahoo? I'm impressed that WHV shelled out the $ for an ad on such a high traffic site.

    2004 movies I most want to see

    Never mind Spider-Man 2 or Harry Potter 3, or whatever other franchise movies are coming out next year. There's a completely different set of (potential) 2004 releases that I'm looking forward to, based on either premise, writer, director, cast, or some combination thereof. My list of...

    B5 Virgin

    The Centauri Trilogy is definitely out until after you've seen Season 5. Third book of the Telepath Trilogy and third book of the Technomage Trilogy are also out if you've only seen Seasons 1 and 2. I *think* the first two books of those trilogies should be OK....but it's been a while since I...

    How many of IMDB's Top 50 SF movies have you seen?

    Re: How many of IMDB\'s Top 50 SF movies have you s Well, I watched Equilibrium on DVD about a week ago. I'm still trying to sort out in my brain whether I like it or not. I think the answer is a qualified yes. The movie doesn't really add anything to the ground that was already covered by...

    Vanilla Sky

    It's a remake of the 1997 Spanish movie "Open Your Eyes". I haven't seen Vanilla Sky, but I have seen Open Your Eyes, and I loved it. From talking to people and reading reactions on the web, I gather that many who've seen Vanilla Sky but not Open Your Eyes think highly of VS. But most of...
