Re: Lise\'s Ex-Husband and child?
That's how I see it, RW. One of the "curses" to creating involved and "real" characters is that things get complex very quickly. Hmm. Just like Real Life. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
If JMS had been able to explain every detail of every character's life I would have been disappointed.
And you have to keep some of the details open in case future projects can come about. If they don't involve Jerry Doyle, or others, personally I can say that's fine with me. I'd love to see some of the back again. But doubt I ever will. Except on this dvd.
I don't know if I can even figure out how to play commentaries on my new dvd player. I hope they are only on a few episodes. Like disk 4 or something? Argh, I can't even figure out how to fast forward past one episode to get to the next.
I need my vacation time to figure out my new equipment. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Re: Lise\'s Ex-Husband and child?
Good luck with it, RW. What little I know about epic kind of writing is this: keep a "score sheet". /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
I don't know what the pros would call it, but bascially a detailed outline.
Otherwise you might get befuddled by your own work. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

AARGH!!! *Bangs head against the wall*
I just now noticed that the guy's name is Franz. I always thought it would be written France or something like that because it is pronounced so far off in the series I didn't recognise it
Franz is a old Austrian name from the days of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, but it is still very common nowadays around here. (I'm sure it excists in other countries too but in austria if you go into the boonies and find a provincial, conservative little village - every second person you'll meet will be called Franz) There where several austrian royalities called Franz or Franz-Something another. Franz-Josef, Franz-Ferdinand. Though still common nowadays it is considered VERY stuffy - It's kind of equivalent towards British names like Archibald, Edward, .... There is a very heavy clichee on that name.
Cool. So there was probably/maybe an austrian character on Babylon 5 /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
