But they also showed their stupidity at the same time. The one line about crusade failing because of "the music."
Idiots.

It is said that the civilized man seeks out good and intelligent company, so that by learned discourse, he may rise above the savage, and be closer to God. Personally, however, I like to start the day with a total dickhead to remind me that I'm best.

Hey, I'm just glad Aint-it-cool is reporting it, as Harry's audience is huge....
And since it's a positive review, all the better for snagging potential viewers, or old B5 viewers that for whatever reason haven't kept up with things.
As far as the plot of the show, I'm keeping an open mind. But also a biased one; I know it will rock.

I think it sounds great. I look forward to it. I don't know about the "kunk fu" weapons statement. This could be a blurp about as accurate as "crusade was cancelled because of the music". I will wait and see, and I am thrilled.

Yeah, I'm not all that crazy about another "ancient enemy" thing. Regardless, we'll just have to wait and see... though I do want to see the whole thing as of yesterday!

I think it's also worth mentioning that the AICN article is one great big spoiler! Perhaps you can edit your message to warn people of that, PsionTen?

Re: Ain\'t It Cool News Has A Review Of B5:Rangers!!!!!!
hmmn I dunno about this review it makes this B5LR sound like it not very good and I also feel this guy has a hudge unreliable streak...HEH I guess I am not trusting of it cause he seems to be misinformed about B5. Example his comment about Crusade music.
Many things on that web site turn out to be wrong or slightly twisted but then again allot of dead on heh..
Well I personally didn't liek his review it made B5LR sound like a cross between thirdspace and um heh dunno somthing yucky.
After saying that I have mass faith in JMS.
Time will tell.

Re: Ain\'t It Cool News Has A Review Of B5:Rangers!!!!!!
AICN is a fan (or "fanboy"
) run site, and gets a lot of its information from folks who are far from professional writers, but who happen upon information. Some of it is accurate, some of it isn't. They don't do much in the way of editing submissions, either, they just post them as-is.
I used to supply them with stories myself, in the early days of the DVD format, when I knew some people who knew some people who could get me information from the studios.
Their TV stuff used to be much better when a guy named Glen was in charge. (He was also a B5 fan, so my view may be a bit biased.) But AICN broke the story about the infamous "TNT/Crusade Memo", the one that contributed to the first production shut down, and Glen ran very favorable reviews of "Racing the Night" and (I think) "The Path of Sorrows" when he saw them in rough-cut form.
The current editors seem to have taken one look at B5, noticed that it wasn't Star Trek and reached for the remote. This review is actually a pertty good sign, maybe if Rangers makes enough noise generally they'll be forced to cover it.
Regards,
Joe

Me neither. After the huge (and meaningful) struggle to get the First Ones to leave the galaxy, this sounds like a bit of a cop-out. It's almost as if jms is admitting that the Babylon 5 universe is not quite the same without at least one "ancient enemy" running around, stirring things up.
I did enjoy the reviewer's references to "Captain Martel's piece of crap ship"

Re: Ain\'t It Cool News Has A Review Of B5:Rangers!!!!!!
Hmm, that comment about Crusade and music sounded to me as if the guy writing the review was trying to be humorous/ironic/perhaps even sarcastic, not that he seriously meant it.
However, there was one thing that caught my eye (especially if, as he says, he's never watched an episode of B5). It could of course just be a mistake by him:
<table bgcolor=black><tr><td bgcolor=black><font size=1 color=white>Spoiler:</font></td></tr><tr><td><font size=2 color=black>He says "G'Kar and *the other* ambassadors - that left me confused. He's just plain Citizen in the movie, right? Anyway, methinks the guy has seen at least some of B5, he just doesn't want to acknowledge it.
</font></td></tr></table>
Otherwise, it doesn't sound too bad.
So there are elements reminiscent of Thirdspace but IMHO the worst part of Thirdspace was not the premise but the execution. It came out boring. And at least this time we won't have Sheridan saving the day with a couple of nukes.

Re: Ain\'t It Cool News Has A Review Of B5:Rangers!!!!!!
"Moriarty" is one of the staff at "AICN" He wrote the introduction to the review, and he's the one who mentioned never having watched B5. The review itself is written (badly) by someone named "Reflux" The way the intro is written doesn't make this clear, but the article is signed at the bottom, and Moriarty can at least spell, so he's unlikely to have written the review proper.
I don't think Reflux is kidding about Crusade. There are lots of folks who have no idea what really happened with the show, and assume that it was just cancelled for poor ratings when it aired.

Either way, he could be addressed as "Ambassador" So this one may or may not be an error.</font></td></tr></table>

Re: Ain\'t It Cool News Has A Review Of B5:Rangers!!!!!!
Thanks for the clarification, Joe.
Although in that latter case, why does e.g. the SciFi.com Rangers site cast section refer to "Citizen G'Kar"?
Ah, whatever. I suppose we'll find out everything once the movie airs, anyway.
