  • Exactly. In the novelization of "In the Beginning," the nanny is named Senna, and she's said to be a retainer of the family of Londo's friend from "Knives" (who the kids also belong to), and no mention is made of them having any kind of friendship. …
  • It's a different Brakiri. I just had a look, and you can see the bald guy (who never speaks) sitting next to the regular, be-haired Brakiri ambassador in the council scene at the end. (As an aside, I remember noticing that on the [url=babylon5.w…
  • They never said. The implicit Shadow Wars before Valen are an even bigger mystery than that one. The only information we have on those is Delenn's flawed knowledge from season two about the Shadows being the enemy of all, and being separate from the…
  • [QUOTE=DarthCaligula;195725]Maybe the Narns actually approached the human and Minbari factions and got this all working together. Normally they'd hate eachother, but they see an opportunity to gain, probably thinking they'd eventually screw over th…
  • You know, a lot of the background plans in Babylon 5 have given me pause recently. I'm totally at a loss for how the Shadow War was supposed to work. It was some huge affront for the Vorlons to step in, so the Shadows killed Kosh in response, but th…
  • It's best when they say, "It's not like they're curing cancer." I think x-rays, radiation therapy, MRIs, and such may have been helped along by particle physics. I also saw this earlier today. [url]http://wtfnasa.com[/url]
  • Fingers crossed for "Phil Coulson: Agent of Shield"!
  • We should also consider that, before the episodes were shuffled around for production reasons, "Legacies" was supposed to come after "Babylon Squared." In fact, it was supposed to be the last episode before the finale (hence the ominous music when t…
  • In "Babylon Squared," Delenn visits the Grey Council, and at the end of the episode, one of the councillors gives her a triluminary, so she can finish building the chrysalis device. In "Legacies," there's a scene where a bunch of Delenn's religious-…
  • I imagine that most of the rioters were the mobsters and such released from the prison (and, apparently, asylum), along with the the poorer folks (like Selena and her friend). My impression was that the bottom 10% was going to town on the top 10%, a…
  • I saw on the TrekBBS that Jinxo teaches an acting class, now. David Warner is always good, though. I was actually a little surprised that those two are coming up next. I've been ripping the episodes from the DVDs recently, and I'm numbering them …
  • Actually, Voyager had a couple of boxing/wrestling episodes. There was one called "The Fight," where aliens telepathically communicate with Chakotay through hallucinations about boxing. The thing I remember most about "Tsunkatse" is how the ads w…
  • [QUOTE=Triple-F;195503]Yeah, and ISNnews stole it from Deadline New York. Naughty, leaving the word exclusive without clarifying where it came from. ; ) [url]http://m.deadline.com/2012/07/comic-con-j-michael-straczynski-hatches-multi-platform-stud…
  • [QUOTE=Stingray;195505]This looks like a 3d model and not an actual existing prototype, so we'll have to wait and see how this develops.[/QUOTE] Oh, yeah, that's just some guy's idea for something. Back in the day, spitballing whatever crazy futu…
  • Well, that wasn't a problem. They washed their hands with blacklights on Babylon 5. Remember how half of the first two seasons took place in the men's room? It was frickin' Ally McBeal in space.
  • So, here's the details. I'm stealing this from [url=http://www.isnnews.net/]ISN News[/url], since aside from their punctuation and spacing issue I fixed, they seemed to have the most info. [quote]JMS ANNOUNCEMENT EXCLUSIVE: J. Michael Straczynsk…
  • You know, I always wondered why they don't make a bluetooth earpiece shaped like [url=http://roadtickle.com/img/life/things-we-have-now-that-star-trek-invented/uhura029.jpg]Uhura's chrome headset[/url] in Star Trek, but it just occurred to me that a…
  • He's also got a show in development on Starz. [url]http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/starz-development-spartacus-thor-348044[/url]
  • [QUOTE=WORF;195469]A few years ago, JMS said something exciting was going to happen and it fell through because he said it. Although, this statement seems a bit more certain than some of his previous ones, so we shall see.[/QUOTE] If it does g…
  • While we're taking about the books, something just occurred to me. I was listening to something mentioning the history of salutes, and I remembered that in the ITB novelization or one of the Centauri Prime books, Londo muses that the providence of t…
  • My biggest issue with the Technomage books was how the second and third ones shoehorned events into the episodes. The most insane example being how "The Geometry of Shadows" had a totally different plot grafted on top of it, to the point where the T…
  • Cool, I feel better about my decision now to switch the shots. It make more sense for the first part to be at "dawn" (what with all the metaphorical light being shined on everything) and a [i]lot[/i] more sense for everyone to be unwinding at the ba…
  • In Act 3 of the episode, between Lennier coming to Sheridan and Ivanova after the question the bad Minbari captain, and the scene in Sheridan's office where Lennier starts to explain what happened at the Battle of the Line, there's an establishing s…
  • [QUOTE=DarthCaligula;195416]I've never heard that Croxis. JMS didn't mention anything like that in his script books either. Do you remember where you read that?[/quote] I believe the bit about interviews and narration with other members of the…
  • [QUOTE=Biggles;195386]How do you do the tracking?[/QUOTE] For the moment, I've been using the tracking features in After Effects CS3. Given how slidey it got with the first shot of this pair, I'm beginning to think I shouldn't rely on it for more…
  • I've [url=http://www.gian-cursio.net/2012/06/b5-2x01-004/]posted the blog entry for this and the previous clip[/url]. The money, though is linked right here. [url=http://www.gian-cursio.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/2x01c_Seq_02c.m4v][img]http:/…
  • I don't think I ever posted my theory here that Avatar took place in the BSG universe. Basically, Pandora was settled by the Rebel Baseship. The planetary network was an evolution of the computer connections in the Cylon Resin, and the Unobtanium wa…
  • Possibly. I think it's more that the bulk of the command sphere and cobra bay is in the way of the vanishing point, so it's easier to imagine it being higher, and the window is wider, so you get a better sense of the up-and-down motion, as oppose to…
  • Actually, since we're talking about it, I'm curious. Was live-action footage of the cast shot on regular SD video? I'm sure it was, but it would warm my heart if I knew it was even theoretically possible that the ITF footage is somewhere in a larger…
