Babylon 5 swallowed by black hole!

Hi,

Your B5 fans out there may have noticed (if you watch it on Sundays) that it
seems to have evaporated, to be replaced by "Mission Impossible" ("Your mission,
if you decide to accept it is to eradicate all evidence of a popular sci-fi
series...").

It appears that Warner Brothers have insisted that Channel 4 wait for the yanks
to catch up before completing the series. Sadly season 5 won't get to that point
in the States until the end of October so we're left with a bit of a
cliffhanger.

For more info on airing times see http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/eplist.html. The
newsgroup alt.babylon5.uk also has info on this.

Do I spot a fierce flame debate developing...

I knew this was coming for quite some time. If it's any consolation we
should get them pretty soon after they do in the states so our wait will be
less than that of the states - they've not had any new eps for nearly 2
months now. This sort of thing happens quite regularly over there....

Anyone seen "In the Begining" yet ? Comments anyone ?

And Gary Cole of Americain Gothic being cast as the Captain in Crusade ?

Hi,
I've seen the B5 film. I was disapointed. It had all the standard B5
FX and actors. But given 1 1/2 hours I expected some new plot material,
but there was none. If you have been watching B5 from the start there will
be no surpises and if you haven't then you're going to be confused.

Well so far they've only briefly mentioned what happened during the war - a
couple of flashbacks etc, so this is probably JMS expanding on what little
he's already shown on the matter. There were extra things in it I don't
remember seeing before....like um...stuff that I probably shouldn't say
without a HUGE blank space in case someone thinks it's a spoiler.

As for those that haven't seen B5 before, well I'd hardly expect them to
want to watch the video anyway. It would be just as silly as someone
watching a random episode and hoping to glean what has happened so far.
Probably why a lot of american programs seem to have a "The story so far..."
bit at the beginning - to let new viewers catch up.

The next film, will probably be more what you'd you expect as I believe it's
set in the future?

It seems likely that people will ask JMS about this at the forthcoming B5
con. If nobody else does, perhaps I will.
