Babylon 5 ... I thought it was a pretty good show
Would be great to see it on the sci fi channel, yes?

Re: what ever happened to babylon 5?
Sat, November 25, 2006 - 9:03 AMFrom what I recall, J. Michael Straczynski only meant for it to run as long as it did. He had almost the entire thing scripted before he even began the first season. I agree that it was an amazing series,I also appreciate when people know to quit before they jump the shark...heh heh....
You can buy or rent it on dvd....which is better than dealing with commercials anyways. -

Sun, December 3, 2006 - 3:41 PMThey did show it daily, beginning to end, on SciFi a couple of years ago. But after running through it a few time in a year they shelved it. i think they even ran the 13 ep's of Crusade. Legend of the Rangers (felt like a spin off pilot to me) was made for SciFi.
I'm not sure if I'm glad the spin off's didn't fly. While I like re-visiting the B5 universe, I'd prefer to see someone develop something else new & cool. -

Wed, January 31, 2007 - 11:11 PMMy personal favorite is Parliament of Dreams, from Season One. It had everything: romance, intrigue, hired killers, Londo at his best, the introduction of Lennier, and the stunning showcase of Earth's dominant belief systems as a receiving line in the central corridor! -

Sun, February 4, 2007 - 6:27 AMi like that one too. I think it's where G'Kar is warned of an assassin coming for him & he thinks it's his new aide (Na'Toth). But the best line is at the end the put the would be assassin on the ship that went something like:
Na'toth: "You will know fear."
G'Kar: "You will know pain."
Na'Toth: "Then you will die."
G'Kar: Have a pleasant flight."

I try to block the Rangers show from my memory, but I think we really missed out on some awesome storytelling when Crusade was cancelled. There were so many story holes that show could've covered, not to mention there's Galen. We got to see a few parlor tricks but I wanted to see his destruction spell in action, plus didn't he uncover a whole bunch of one-character spells by the end of the 3rd novel?
