G\'Kar \'Trading Card\' Up At SciFi.com

'Trading card' no. 3 is up at SciFi's site now - it's the G'Kar card.

There are also two new video clips up. SciFi's description: Watch ISN TV-news clips of Ranger Kitaro Sasaki and Citizen G'Kar as they're interviewed about recent Ranger hostile encounters.

I'm still downloading them myself (damn that site is slow!) so I have no idea what they're all about.

Thanks, Kribu.

By the way, here are direct links to the video clips of Kitaro and G'Kar -- so you can save them even if your browser doesn't support JavaScript (or if you simply hate opening video windows as pop-ups).

Yeah, they don't like to give the direct links for downloading out, do they?

My Download Accelerator just started saving the vid right away when I clicked on the javascript link on SciFi's site.

Re: G\'Kar \'Trading Card\' Up At SciFi.com

I've just seen the videos.

Interesting.

I wonder what Lyta has to do with the Rangers... and why Kitaro can't talk about something he obviously knows about (he was there...)

The marketing campaign for the fans is great. Throwing tidbits like that at us. My. It's just... torture.

Re: G\'Kar \'Trading Card\' Up At SciFi.com

The video clips were certainly very smartly done. Saying basically nothing - and yet just enough to make me want to see the movie even more.

I have to say that the promotion stuff is interesting indeed, and rather creative.

As for the video clip in the trading card - ROFL!

Re: G\'Kar \'Trading Card\' Up At SciFi.com

I have nor heard of Pat Tallman being in the B5LR movie, so I do not think we see Lyta. Although she may be in the series.

Lyta has had a long connection with the Rangers. She was working with them in "Divided Loyalties", propbably headed their telepats during the Shadow War and was attached to the crew of Whitestar 1 and 2.

Thanks a lot guys for the links, I have javascript popups blocked (firewall).

G'Kar card - LMAO... I will die of laughter if it turns out it was Dean using his changeling net.

Kitaro clip - Simply amazing look, very stylish... can't believe how better looking B5 has become. We can pretty much rely on JMS to tell the story good, so may as well appreciate the eye candy.
wink.gif
Very interesting discussion, although Doug has already stated they're more powerful than the shadows, however illogical that may seem. Kitaro doesn't really say they succeeded however, merely they survived... which leaves the possibility that the enemy aren't really beaten just held back.

G'kar clip - Lol, well not much to say evidently.

Oh, I agree with you. I was VERY impressed with that clip. Technology's gotten so much better since B5, hasn't it?

Kitaro's reluctance to give the interviewer any information on the new enemy (listen closely, and you'll hear their name!) is VERY telling. It tells me that they -are- still around, even though they might have been beaten once. It informs me that there's a LOT more story where To Live And Die In Starlight left off.

And, eye candy? I'm loving it. Visually, I'm sure this movie will be a treat!

I am in fact very curious as to the budget for the movie with more and more visuals showing up. I didn't believe JMS (IIRC) when he said it was of feature film quality but it really is, in fact a lot of it seems to be mocking some feature films. As I doubt B5 got a feature film budget (a certainty to be sure), yet it blows quite a few feature film CGI out of the water. I know B5 producers were amazing at stretching the penny but this is quite beyond what I expected.

Yes, it seemed as though the character was trying to dance around the issue and get to the next question. Perhaps its the usual run of the mill movie ending, leaving room for a follow-up (as a pilot should do). I expect it to be like thirdspace where they mention how some of the 3rd spacers may have escaped and it was best to be sure. Being in a chaotic fight tends to negate head counts for later inspection. So probably a few ships escape and threaten to release the lion again. Though JMS loves his rope-a-dope and I'll probably be suckered into the wrong conclusion (again... *sigh*).

Nope, the same name. Body part.
