One of the most brilliant episodes of B5 was the one with the space janitors... I mean. SPACE JANITORS. They've got to be there, but what other show actually admitted it?

Well Starwars had air in space (as we see people standing in open unshielded hanger-bays,) but the only sci-fi that I remember specifically not having sound in space was Firefly.

Naw, you weren't paying attention, there was an atmo shield up keeping the air contained. Same as they used in ST:TNG and subsequent ST shows.

I agree. I was soooo mad he died...

Don't be mad. JMS wrote a short story for Amazing Stories a good while back where Marcus was defrosted after they figured out the Healing/Life Drain machine and he was restored to life. Kinda of a sad adventure followed though...

[MarcusCole]

I was also kinda sad to see the end of the B5 RPG, but it had a lot of issues (Why are all of my players telepaths or Anla'Shok???)

[Autolycus]

Amazing sci-fi, just wondering how many other fans are on these forums (and also maybe create a few new fans.)

B5 is my favorite sci-fi series. I remember waiting for it each week when it was in production. I keep hoping to find it in syndication, but will probably break down and buy the DVDs soon.

When I went to create an id, I tried MacrcusCole, but it was already in use

I have Lennier's, Garabaldi's, Delenn's, and Vir's. THree are on a group pix plus several singles. Bill Mumy Being my favourites and hangs in my house with pride next to Tom Baker's and the Cast of Star Trek: TOS (no Deforest or Majel's, but got all the rest. My prized possession)

Need Sheridan's

you know, I watched Scarecrow and Mrs. King after I watched B5? I knew then I was a fan!

Anywho Just finished season 3 with it's walkabouts, Catholic Preists, Valen, Lord Refa, and such.

...Z'Ha'Dum psycho-analysis awaits along with a mad Emperor...and my favourite season...the WAR. But that will be tomorrow.

[MarcusCole]

I really need to watch through all of that again. Planetkillers, First Ones, and Vir'slittlewavetoMr.Morden, Oh My!

[mandanbar]

Does anyone know if more B5 shows are coming out??? I know they did put a dvd with some short story's on it a few years ago.

[MarcusCole]

I doubt it, its hard to imagine what else JMS would write about. (sinclair as valen?)

This thread brought my attention back around to whether another Lost Tales would be coming. The last information - from good old Wikipedia - was from 2008 where JMS stated until such time that Warner Brothers wanted to put more money into the project, he would rather not tell sub-par stories. Bummer, too, because the next one was to focus on Garibaldi and Londo. We can only hope for more someday.

Regarding Lost Tales, I enjoyed the intro with G'kar's voice more than either of the two stories themselves. It was amazing to hear his voice and words - knowing Andreas is gone made it even more poignant.

I believe that when we leave a place, part of it goes with us, and part of us remains. Go anywhere in the station when it is quiet and just listen. After a while, you will hear the echoes of all our conversations, every thought and word we've exchanged. Long after we have gone, our voices will linger in these walls. - G'Kar

I have a cast picture, not sure of the exact season, but it has Marcus in it. What is interesting about it is that everyone is flipping the bird. Had a friend who picked it up at a convention for me. No signatures though...just fingers flying high.

BEST moment in B5--Vir's little Wave.

I think Vir character, as a character, was one the most enjoyable to watch. He was the everyman, not the "hero", or "fated one", or "beautiful" or "talented" or "selfish"--he was...normal. To see him come so far and doing what I wanted to Mr.Morden that ALL of us wanted to do...

/wave

Getting there. Rewatched the first 4 episodes of season 4...


Best discription of Daffy Duck, " It's the Egyptian god of fustration"

[Epitome]

Nobody ever listens to Zathras....

[Hewage]

Vir telling Morden exactly what he wants (to see your head on a pike as a warning to all Centauri that some things come at too great a cost) and then much later getting it - yes, very cool moment.

Some of my favorites involve Kosh. When he took Sheridan down below to show him "one moment of perfect beauty". Better yet, when Sheridan demands help against the shadows and Kosh responds that he won't be able to help him at Z'ha'dum. The resignation in Kosh's voice when he tells Sheridan "you do not understand, but you will".

Londo and G'kar's entire story arcs, inextricably entwined together - excellent writing and acting from both the entire stretch and such tremendous, yet believable, changes.

Space janitors - well, that was part of season 5...

Going to have to rewatch them again now - thanks for taking away valuable game time.

Zach Allen was another "everyman" on the show, but falls short of Vir for maintaining interest level. I just never really connected or enjoyed Zach's character much.
