LOTR wasn't an entirely original story either. Tolkien, a philogist, was a specialist in languages, and had a profound knowledge of myths, legends and folklore. The tradition of the Quest tale is an anciet one, going back to Greek times, probably even before that Tolkien used these myths and...

There are a lot of great moments in B5. Certainly, the moment we find out the truth about Sinclair/Valen is one of my favourites. Here are a few others of mine. Revelations. Delenn walks into the B5 Council Chamber, and we see her new appearance for the first time. I don't think anyone was...

Cartagia not evil? This was a guy who had G'Kar tortured for fun! Yes, he was a mad as a meataxe, but he was also evil. ------------------

I think that we can take To Dream in the City of Sorrows , as prety much being canon - esepecially as the novel was written by the wife of JMS! Near the end of the book, <table bgcolor=black><tr><td bgcolor=black><font size=1 color=white>Spoiler:</font></td></tr><tr><td><font size=2...

Why didn't their minions wake the Shadows? There are several possible reasons for this. One, the minions such as the Drakh were ordered merely to keep watch and guard the sleeping Shadows, not do anything else. The Shadows were greatly weakened during the Last Great Shadow War, and simply...

Bester may have cared for Carolyn in his own twisted way, but it was a selfish, twisted love. It's made pretty clear that the Psi-Corps 'reducation' facilities are no better than concentration camps. Bester took advantage of a woman who had absolutely no rights, and no way of refusing his...

You could well be right. It could well be this other guy that I saw in the Chuck NOrris film - looks like him. I'm not particularly good at identifying people by their looks - rather by their voices. And having never seen or heard Dyan Neal in anything, I honestly couldn't say. Thank-you for...

Maybe someone could answer a query for me. I was waitng for a programme to start the other night on TV The movie before the programme was Logan's War: Bound by Honor, with Chuck Norris. There was also a young actor in it who looked a lot like Dylan Neal. I checked the programme listing, but...

Let us know what you think of it! ------------------

There are several websites that you could try. The Babylon 5 Spoiler Junkies Page is a good one. IN my original post, I did provide the address, but when I tried to find it by clicking on it on my own post, I was told that it couldn't be found. Good old Geocities! This site has screenshots...

Re: \"Divided Loyalties\" The scene where Lyta comes out of of the Vorlon transport is in Passing Through Gethesemene, which is an early third season ep. In Divided LoyaltiesLyta is <table bgcolor=black><tr><td bgcolor=black><font size=1 color=white>Spoiler:</font></td></tr><tr><td><font...

"AGGH - It;s the Mr Hell Show"? Not familiar with that one. Is it like the Simpsons, King of the Hill and South Park? I don't think we get it here. ------------------

Season One. And the Sky Full of Stars. It gives you a pretty good idea of why Sinclair is so troubled, and JUST WHAT IS DELENN UP TO? After this ep, I had her marked down as a baddy - talk about screwing around with your expectations! Chrysalis. Everything is happening at once! Garibaldi is...

There is a another solution. When I wanted copies of all the B5 eps - I hadn't bothered to record then, when they had been on air, I advertised in various papers. Someone had taped them [they weren't available on pre-recorded tapes at the time], and they were willing to let me borrow them for...

ABSO-FRAGGIN-LUTELY!!!!! Both ST and B5 are sci-fi shows, but otherwise, they are totally different shows. It also depends on which, ST you're talking about - TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY. Even those four have a completely different feel to each series. TOS is the funniest, the most 'human' of the St...

There's a third CS, athough she hardly features very much. Caroline SAnderson, Bester's pregnant blip girlfiend, who is taken by the Shadows, and altered so that she can be the central core in a Shadow vessel. ------------------

Okay, choice number one for a trilogy. The Shadow War of a thousand years ago, the story of Sinclair/Valen, and the reformation of Minbari Society. And oh yes, Sinclair/Valen finding Catherine Sakai. A shame that Katharine M Drennan hasn't written any more books - she could do sequels to...

The calender looks okay, but it's not something that I would spend $30 [NZ currency] on. Those of you who have got printers and scanners [I haven't] could create their own indivdualised calenders - there's plenty of great pictures on the Inernet that could be used to create your own unique...

I don't think that the B5 universe is ncesarily dead in the water if the Rangers movie doesn't fly. Please excuse the comparison, but Star Trek managed to retain a loyal following for almost 20 years with no new series being made, and only the occasional movie of variable quality. And there...

An awful lot of people didn't Like RIVER OF SOULS, and no-one is beating them up over it. Some B5 is great, some good - and some well - everyone has their bad days. I reserve judegement ------------------
