Yes, I've managed to get through all four. I cannot decide whether Hyperion or Rise of Endymion is my favourite, probably the latter, just to see all the things he set up in Hyperion play out in The Rise of Endymion. But he does move the goalposts in Rise little with the rival AI factions...

Hmmm. Just thought I'd bring this up as there's not one mention of this book on the forums anywhere. Has anyone read the Hyperion Cantos? I think they're the closest thing to B5's plot, intelligence and majesty I've ever read. BTW, Dan Simmons has a website at www.dansimmons.com And there's...

Hi, Has anyone in the UK received their S2 DVDs yet? I ordered some other stuff at the same time as my B5 DVDs and they've sent these, but looking at my order on the amazon.co.uk website it says it will be dispatched between 4-6 June. Sorry, this isn't so much of a whinge as an excuse to use...

I'm nominating Quantumn Leap; especially the first four or so series. Good speech, and excellent music. In the last year they changed the music almost completely though IIRC. Can you download that anywhere?

Any way I can get a mate interested with only S1 DVD set? I've been rabbitting on about B5 for at least 7 years to him and he's finally taking the bait. BUT I can't think of a good way to get him interested quickly & progressively. Mind you, he is a Trekkie so he might be hooked unknowingly by...

Good points, thanks everyone (sorry Lyta - didn't mean to offend Star Trek fans). This might end up getting all philisophical. I don't know if a sci-fi show should be that raw and stark IMHO. For instance, if all you do is look at depressing shows it makes you depressed. And one thing you don't...

Just seen this ep in the UK. Man am I shocked. I can't believe they actually screened trailers for it during Enterprise - I can't ever see a Trekker watching Jeremiah. 1. What's all this about the God thing? What on earth happened to respecting all religious opinions like we had in B5...

I've just seen my first Jeremiah ep - and after not seeing anything new from JMS for about four years it was teriffic! There were several moments when I thought "this was definately written by JMS" - and the plot was fresh and interesting too. I can see the message of this show coming through...

Definately a masterpeice - You read my mind! JMS seems to have an absurd amount of talent, and I have no doubt will be remembered much beyond his time (and not just for the asteroid thing). He must be something the soul hunters would very much like to get hold of. When I think of works of...

I would really have liked to see how JMS originally ended the story. From what I've picked up Sheridan would've stayed the whole run and be connected with both the Minbari and Vorlon plots and one of the last episodes would have revealed The Great Machine, and not War Without End in Season 2, so...

Thanks Nancy, Markas The most quotable sci fi films tend to last, don't they? I think that's the tendency with Star Wars and Blade Runner ... they're both very quotable, so they become a small part of the language to the point where even people who have little idea who wrote them know what...

Oh damn. I'm only a day late in finding out, aren't I ?? If anyone has a tape with the first ep on, I'd gladly pay postage if I can borrow it. I'm trying to diversify from Babylon 5 into JMS' other work, and Jeremiah seems to be going really well and gaininig steam. But I was A DAY late -...

Creativity by committee never did work. JMS was unique in that he got a book that he wrote onto TV. That never happened before, not even with Star Trek. Because of the recent cancellation of the one committee-created show that did seem to work, Farscape, I've given up with TV shows for good...

Hi I'm new here as well - looked like a good place to start! Favourite quote?? Just about everything Catherine Sakai says in "The Parliament of Dreams" was terriffic. She really made her lines shine like pearls. So... "How's you're brother?" "How's you're uncle?" I particularly like the...
