    Coming Attractions!

    I don't mind the trailers - they can be interesting. But te commercials ... ! I don't know how things are in the States or England, but here they often have "public messages" commercials at the movies. Usually, it's something about speeding or drunk-driving. Here, it now costs $13 NZ to go...

    "... videotape is dead, man."

    Re: \"... videotape is dead, man.\" A two-head VCR goes for around $200 NZ here. Four head VCRS are not common here. A six-head VCR starts at around $300. DVD-players [such as the one I've got] start at around $97. I am not sure about the price of dvd-recorders, but I saw one advertised a...

    "... videotape is dead, man."

    Re: \"... videotape is dead, man.\" A few months back, I was in urgent need of some ready cash. So, I packed up some things that I could sell, and headed off to sell them. Among them was a large number of pre-recorded VHS tapes. I got them to a music store which brought and sold second hand...

    The Two Towers - Extended Edition (spoilers)

    Send it back. I don't know how gurantees work in other countries, but here, if you're sent something by post, and it rurns out to be defective, usually the company will pick up the posting tab. Can you e-mail them, explaining your problem? You might not have to send it back As for the TTT...

    Alan Smithee Films

    "But if anyone knows where I can find filmed (vhs or dvd) versions of Patrick Stewart's plays, I would be very grateful. I know that when more famous actors do stage plays there is sometimes a vhs or a dvd film made of one performance of that play" B5 has been the one of only time that I have...

    Season One DVD problems - Anyone else??

    Re: Season Three on video???? Thanks for that. I know what you mean about prices coming down! My mother brought a stereo video in 1986 - price $1800 NZ. The same thing now, which is what I'm probably going to get $299.00. I don't know whether to laugh or weep.

    Season One DVD problems - Anyone else??

    Re: Season Three on video???? B5 has never been repeated here in NZ. It never exactly had a prime-time run as it was - 2 pm or 3pm on a Saturday afternoon - it varied from season to season. As it was, it started running here two years after it did in the States, although that did not prove to...

    Season One DVD problems - Anyone else??

    Re: Season Three on video???? It's been a few years now, but I seem to remember that B5 came out in England and some other countries [even New Zealand] before they did in the States. I have no idea why - copywright or something.aybe? Also, judging by what I read in the genre magazines of...

    HULK

    The Hulk never lost his pants in the Bill Bixby TV series, either!

    Season One DVD problems - Anyone else??

    I have almost all the B5 episodes on VHS. Most of them were recorded when they were shown on TV here, so the quality is somewhat variable, but generally okay. I haven't watched any B5 for a while - my VCR is starting to pack it in, and I am afraid that it will pack my B5 tapes in as well. I...

    Dr. Who for dummies

    Yep, that was funny. The TARDIS materialised as a pipe organ, right in the middle of a disused mechanics workshop! It even had the Doctor {Colin Baker} playing the organ.

    b5 books "shadow within" and "to dream..."

    Re: b5 books \"shadow within\" and \"to dream...\" Have B5 novels becomes collectors items or something? $25 for a used book? I once saw one of the B5 novels for $25 but that was a new one! It isn't easy to get B5 books here. Only a few bookshops sold them when B5 was on. One was a bookshop...

    Would you have believed it?

    When B5 first started, I had G'Kar pinned as a bag guy - didn't like him at all. With Delenn it was hard to tell, although after "And the Sky Full of Stars", it looked pretty much as if she were one of the baddies, too - she was certainly up to something! Londo, I felt sorry for. Ivanova, I...

    S4-Interrogator-Sympathetic?

    Re: S4-Interrogator-Sympathetic Sheridan's interrogation is typical of that used by secret police all over the world. It's a variation on the "good cop/bad cop" routine. Except that in this case, they have one guy who plays both roles. Here, the interrogator seems to be almost the parent of a...

    Seen the B5-actors in other shows ?

    Let's see. I've seen John Vickery [Neroon] as a Cardassian in DS9. He was buried under a tonne of make-up, but there was no mistaking that voice! Bill Mumy was also in DS9. I believe that Patricia Tallman was in a "Voyager" ep, though I didn't see her. Andreas Katsula was the one-armed man in...

    Marcus is a Bum

    I also saw him once on Lois & Clark, The New Adventures of Superman. He played a sleazy rock-singer who sued Superman! ------------------

    B5 Trivia: try to stump each other

    Yep, a Late Delivery From Avalon is one that has Dickens references. Others are, "Signs and Portents" - in that arguement between Londo and G'Kar as they wait for the lift to arrive. They're both squabbling so much that they miss it. Another is Exogenesis. Marcus gets as mad as Hell when...
