Re: \'24\' Season 5 (SPOILERS) Some references to *possible* future events below. Only speculation, no known spoilers. The VP is *way* too quick on the trigger with the whole bypass Congress and declare marshal law under another name bit. It may be too obvious and a red herring, but I'm...

They didn't continue to follow them in B5 because they weren't considered (by JMS) to be part of the same story. They were considered possible sequel stories. There was a short story written about one of their adventures together during that time. It was published in one of the magazines. I...

Re: EpDis: Z\'ha\'dum Possibly slightly counter-dramatic. However, JMS had always, as much as possible, followed the dictum that the logic of the situation will out. Given that he had that glimpse of the future (or possible future) and discussed it Delenn, there is absolutely no way that he...

Possibly. But if it was really going to be a second series (season in US terminology) of the same show, it would imply getting at least the vast majority of the same cast back. If it was to be made in the UK, then you would have a British produced show where almost the entire regular cast (all...

Realistically, the way American TV works, I would have to say that it's highly unlikely. The British TV programming model, where a second series of Fawlty Towers is produced several years after the first, just isn't how the American networks do business.

On the other hand, if some Interfaith Council type of organization was sending a delegation, then that's exactly the kind of make-up that I would expect that delegation to have. I had actually always assumed that was a local church choir of people who lived on the station (since there was never...

Re: Need help ID\'ing random quote stuck in my head... I believe that there are similar lines in His Girl Friday ..... and, for that matter, probably in all of the versions of The Front Page (that's the title of the play that the movie was based upon; and of 2 of the 4 movie versions).

If you're totalling over the whole 2 week or so event and over the whole world, then I don't doubt that there are more total viewers for the Winter Games than for the Super Bowl. However, since the original context in which this came was the cost-benefit ratio for American advertisers buying...

I'll grant that a few of the individual sports with no equipment (ball etc.) *and* no "judges" (in the sense that gymnaistics or diving have "judges" awarding scores to the competitors) have fewer things that need to be defined. However, even in a track race there are considerably more rules...

So what sports don't have "too many rules"?

I can believe that the Olympics coming up so soon may well have been a signiicant factor in those decisions. However, in terms of the US audiance tuned in at any one given time to see an ad ....... There's no way that the Olympic audiance is bigger than the Super Bowl audiance.

Re: \'24\' Season 5 (SPOILERS) Geographically "balancing" the ticket? He managed to be the "first runner up" in the primaries, so trying to "re-unify" the party? He's a good campaigner / fund raiser and Keeler never thought that he would die in office? Logan should really learn to stop...

Re: The CW: UPN & WB merging into one network Fall In this context, this is a ludicrous claim. The combined network will simply have fewer hours of prime time broadcast time than the total of the two networks combined. Therefore, as an absolute minimum impact on the two networks "products"...

It's not entirely clear to me that Kosh was expressing any clear gender bias either. It's important, when saying that he manifested as a father in every case that we saw in the series, to remember that in this case "every case" still represents a pitifully small sample space that does not come...

Except that some of the quotes in the "JMS Speaks" sections of the TLG pages on WWE are phrased along the lines of: "They originated on Epsilon 3[/i]." *If* those quotes are accurate, and JMS was being precise with his phrasing, then ..... :cool:

"But Zathrus do. Zathrus good at doings, not at understandings." :D

I think that the intent when Babylon Squared was filmed was for it to be Sinclair and for that to cause the "blow back". However, that was one of the things that changed in WWE due to the change from Sinclair to Sheridan as commander of B5. I think that at that point it was still Sheridan in...

"Sparky" is the AI personality that comes up when the crew completely reboots the system right after seceeding from EA.

I've seen people make a pretty case that the half season of Crusade that exists is actually better than the equivalent first half of the first season of Babylon 5. Of course, since B5 is such a major example of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts, it is also reasonable to say that...

So far, I've never felt the need to use a sword to go after a bug in my home. ;)
