Re: More blatant corporate whoring: Good Ol\' Fox Really? That phrasing doesn't sound like what I've registered. What sounds familiar from repeated hearings is "Did you run him through AFIS?" (Without the "the" before "AFIS".) The other thing about that one: The way that it was used always...

Re: Actual B5:TLT News Not 1313 Mockingbird Lane? :cool: :D ;)

Being a guy, that has generally been less of a problem for me. Halloween costume considerations that seem to tend to need to be learned through bitter experiance: 1) Ability to drink without having to remove your "head"; ideally without getting too much nylon from a fake beard in your beer...

Of course the real issue with the Kosh costume for a party is: How hard / easy is it to drink with that outfit on? ;) :p :beer:

Re: 10 years since Z\'ha\'dum And, of course, PTEN's airing strategy meant that the logical place to put a big cliffhanger (*purely* from the POV of the initial airing run) would be at the fourth from last episode of the season.

I would *always* have considered that an *extremely* remote possibillity. Just in terms of what we know about JMS' current non-B5 workload, it seemed a virtual impossibillity that he would be able to finish producing the first and then immediately be able to write the scripts for the second one...

Re: Actual B5:TLT News Ironheart "augmented" Talia, but only after he "became". It's JMS's own repeated comments about disliking "godlike" characters and how he always tried to minimize the existance and roles of such entities that leads me to think that he would be unlikely to take Lyta all...

Sure, fear is a natural, good thing. However, there is a difference between reasonable fear that stops you from doing suicidal things ...... and the kind of irrational phobic fear that tends to be caused by a traumatic event, which blocks out the ability to think analytically and rationally...

The Rangers were not talking about terror in terms of applying "terror" to the criminal. They were talking about the "terror" that had been created in the mind of the Ranger and his need to face / confront that terror so that he would not be reacting from a phobic mindset in the future. The...

Re: Actual B5:TLT News So when previously did JMS ever make claims that crew had been hired or contracts signed with any cast members? I remember him saying that he had been hired to do a draft of a script for TMoS, which so far as I know was true. Even then, I had thought that he had said...

Some notes are innevitable from any network and about any show. Generally the longer and better the track record (either because it has been a hit for them for a few years, or because the show is being run by Steven Boshco or somebody similar) the less they micromanage. One would think that a...

Remember, though, that Crusade was a special case in terms of how egregious the "notes" were. TNT Atlanta was purposely trying to provoke JMS to the point that he would pull the show.

Yeah, but the footage for the Sisko-getting-signature bit could have been culled from anywhere in the TOS series. I have no idea where it actually came from. It could have been the original "Mirror, Mirror", I guess.

Re: 15 \"worst movie mistakes\" Well, I couldn't see the list (I was looking from work, and the site is blocked for one reason or another). I'm not sure what makes one continuity glitch or error worse than another, necessarily ..... unless it's just how much your attention is called to it, or...

First of all, it doesn't need to be "totally and completely 360° on all axes". If you believe what's said in the episode, that this fleet is purposely engaging whoever they find in order to gauge their combat strength, then they would be going out of their way to hit people / places...

The problem is the lack of warning combined with B5 having been purposely positioned to be in the middle of all of the known races (which makes sense for original dimplomatic meeting place mission). B5 could have just happened to have been on their path. *BUT* if they were probing for weakness...

Have you been getting the script books? The appendices in the most recent one has the first half of the script (or whatever the appropriate term is) for a comic book that JMS was writing that was to be put out by DC. It seems that JMS pulled the plug halfway through because DC kept insisting...

No, the story lines weren't "never intended". I don't have the quotes at my fingertips, but from back before S1 JMS had said that he intended the series to show the entire cycle of the war ..... *including* the reconstruction afterwards. And I remember the stuff that KoshFan was talking about...

But that argument ignores the theoretical point of that race's incurssion. If they're looking for beatable targets .... conquerable territory .... as the the episode said ...... Then they should have been probing at the defenses of whoever's territory they got to as they went. It makes no...

It's been a while since I watched it, so some pricise details are a little hazy. They had some warning, as I recall ...... but clearly not enough to get the White Stars back ahead of them (much less cut them off en route). So, by the time they got much of any information just about unknown or...
