Any Babylon 5 Fans Here? OT

I loved B5 and the related show that came out later on, Crusade.

ME ME ME!!!! I'm a JMS groupie, too. Straczynski (I think I mangled that one) used to hang out, in person, on the AOL Sci Fi forum. So did the camera/effects guy, whose name I totally forget. They almost single-handedly created a following just by being accessible and frequently expounding upon storylines, teasing the hell out of very willing victims, and basically being really cool guys. I've always thought it was very cool the way he had every moment of the 5-year seasons planned before anything ever went into production.

Yeah, I was pretty addicted for the first couple of years. I think you'll like season 1 and 2.

Seen every episode at least 5 times, so I guess I am. :o)

Anyone else a fan?

I used to watch it pretty often when it was originally on...

now I watch Stargate... (and Atlantis) Cheryl DRAGON BEADS Flameworked beads and glass

DH is a tremendous fan and we watched them all the way through. I thought it was pretty good.

Then we watched Farscape all the way through. B5 was a little dimmed.

(Some of the people are just too goody-goody and the earth and other politics is a little flat sometimes in B5. But some really cool charectors and situations. BTW JMS ("creator" of B5) seems to be totally nuts and a conspiracy theorist. He writes back on the B5 email list sometimes and DH has shown me some of it :) ).

Watching all the episodes in close proximity to another for a story-arched show is the BEST btw.

T> John's been trying to get me hooked on B5 forever. I never wanted to

We are currently running through Stargate. I LOVE it. I think we are in season 6 now. I miss Daniel Jackson :(:(.

Hoh yeah.

Have you read the books? Written by the same guys, and in the great tradition of Hitchhikers Guide, the books only mildly resemble the show :). They are great science fiction as well as great humor.

What irks me is that they just started the 'summer season' in July and this Friday is the season finale for both SGI and Atlantis.

A'course, that frees up my SciFi time for Enterpise and (whoohoo) the Farscape Mini series.

You're not supposed to tell me that, I'm just in season 6!

But fear not he's back in series 7. I am pretending that series 6 does not exist, apart from the odd ep he's in. :-)

I guess we'll get it over here sometime next year along with Stargate. :-)

By the time it gets here there will actually BE space travel by warp engine.

He'll be back.... LOL Cheryl DRAGON BEADS Flameworked beads and glass

I love Stargate too - is Atlantis any good?>

yeah - it's a little corny at times - a few of the characters are really "take offs" of other sci fi series characters if you pay attention to their behaviors...
