any new B5 is good B5
Interesting. Is Walter Koenig in it?
Indeed...
It was the episode with Michael York, playing a character who thought he was King Arthur. While saving a damsel in distress and somewhat cornered, G'Kar observed and jumped into the middle of it. I pretty much thought, "Okay, now this guy, I like."
Boy, is THAT ever a blast from the Sci-Fi Archives!
I was fascinated with it as a kid. Now I know why.
“And they made a satisfying Thud! when they hit the floor!”
I love that episode.
I liked the one where G’Kar and (oh, what’s his name, the guy with the ear-to-ear Mohawk, Sid from “Hill Street Blues” ...) were stuck in the elevator together.
“I hate my life.”
“So do I!”
The guy was Londo Mollari. That is a good one too!
I love B5, I don’t know if it’s better then BSG but I like it better. BSG is good but B5 has more character or something, that je ne se qua, or I don’t know what... Something.
It has carte blanche but not a blank check.
Sorry, I got a little silly there at the end after looking up how to spell je ne se qua. The second paragraph is from Fulci’s The Beyond.
if you have Dish TV HD package, the HD family channel runs UFO and Thunderbirds every day.
I loved the first three seasons of B5 (Shadow War). The last two were terrible.
Also missed is Dr. Stephen Franklin, played by actor Richard Biggs. he was great as the newsman on the DVD extra feature of the 2004 movie “Dawn of the Dead.” I sometimes rewatch just that part of the DVD instead of the movie.
B5 was a great show! I look forward to seeing this new offering!
BTW, it was fun to work on too! Everyone was very nice. Even got to be a Ranger at least once. I enjoyed B5, because unlike other shows, there was true diversity. You didn’t have to be a skinny actor or actress to work.
I was just thinking the same thing. No G’Kar. Unless they shot it before Andres got too sick, or before G’Kar was killed.
B5 was all about Lando and G’Kar, the rest was a fun little side story. Who else as characters were developed and evolved so much?
Sheridan: “I want you to teach me how to fight them. How to beat them. Because sooner or later, I’m going to Z’ha’dum and I’m going to stop them.”
Kosh: “If you go to Z’ha’dum, you will die.”
Sheridan: “Then I die. But I will not go down easy, and I will not go down alone. You will teach me?”
Kosh: “Yeeeessss.”
That episode always raised the goose bumps.
B5 is one of my all time favs.
