I'm kidding. It was shit.

Watch it, you lot, or I'll start a Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future mythology surgery topic.
POWER ON!

Our Lady Has Left the Building

Right, you're both going on the list...

Don't forget the real ghostbuster and murder she wrote amongst the other freelance credits on JMS' CV

But in an atempt to redeem this topic how about we actually talk about Babylon 5 -

I for one would like to know if anyone here has seen the legend of the rangers one-off

Foust is SO authentic

Anybody pick up on the subtle similarities between B5's Rangers and Tolkein's Rangers?

Nah.

Similarities you say? Between Babylon 5 and Lord of the Rings? Surely not.

"Right, you're both going on the list..."

She's got us on the list,
she's got us on the list;
And we'll none of us be missed,
we'll none of us be missed.

Hey Lady, we may be on the list, but I'm fixing you with a Care Bear Stare, right now.

You're on my list too. For disliking something beautiful AND for starting an empty thread.

Our Lady Has Left the Building

Care Bear Stare? Too chickenshit for a real bear are we? The Paddington Bear Hard Stare would give you the shits.

Sleaze, Sci-fi has the showing rights to Legend, I don't know whether sci-fi UK has the rights though. There's a B5 movies box-set coming out but I've got a sneaking suspicion that doesn't go any further than the Crusade pilot...

He wrote Real Ghostbusters cartoons? I loved those!

Looking at the adverts for the us version the answer is 'no' - perhaps it will be tacked on to a possible babylon 5: Crusade boxed set...

and here are JMS' s credits

Whenever people ask me why I like Lexx I always answer... well, it's about as far as you can get from Babylon 5, isn't it?

sleazenation

15:11 / 22.09.04

Its great that you feel able to say that in public stoatie...

grant

16:22 / 22.09.04

Those were like the best cartoons ever.

I've kind of avoided Babylon 5 just because it seemed so hooky/continuity intensive, but I'm kinda looking forward to getting some DVDs off netflix now.

Ahh, the anonymity of the internet.

ONLY NICE THINGS

21:16 / 22.09.04

Um... I've only ever seen one episode of Lexx. It had Oberon in. He was married to a bearded midget. The bloke with the doughnut on his head turned into a tree.

What is Lexx actually about?
