Sad news.

B-5 was one the best sci-fi series ever.

[dangus]

I don’t know how nationally he is known, but Garibaldi (Jerry Doyle) became an excellent AM talk show host. Unfortunately, they took him off the air because he didn’t worship Allah.

The Jerry Doyle Show isn’t on any more? I used to listen to it on streaming audio off KDWN in Las Vegas. I love his voice, and it was fun when Dwight Schultz would guest-host.

Sorry to hear that. I liked Sinclair better than Sheridan; he was so ... opaque ... in a good way.

I pick up the show in Tulsa. And go with God Mr. O’Hare.

[surrey]

We get Jerry Doyle on WRKO Boston M-F 10PM to 1AM.

[Tax-chick]

Oh, good. I’ll have to get someone to reprogram the station into our internet radio. It was on 3-6 p.m., and it’s not unusual for me to be in the kitchen during those hours.

I liked Sinclair better than Sheridan as well.

[Arthurio]

Ditto

But I liked G’Kar the best.

Zathras honors the One.

That’s too bad. He was one of the only B5 cast members who seemed to understand acting is a skill and not a quality you automatically inherit when a camera’s pointed at you.

That being said, I grew to respect several of the cast members - like the guy who played Sheridan and the female officer - when I watched a commentary track on one of the B5 DVD’s where they all acknowledged their acting in the show was horrible and made fun of their performances.

I thought, “You guys are OK.”

[Revolting cat!]

I thought he wasn’t dead.

I think Tune In Radio carries the show. That is where I listen to Glenn Beck at home and when I am at the gym in the morning. I have the ap on my TV and my smart phone.

Sinclair: No. We have to stay here. And there's a simple reason why. Ask ten different scientists about the environment, population control, genetics, and you'll get ten different answers, but there's one thing every scientist on the planet agrees on. Whether it happens in a hundred years or a thousand years or a million years, eventually our Sun will grow cold and go out. When that happens, it won't just take us. It'll take Marilyn Monroe, and Lao-Tzu, and Einstein, and Morobuto, and Buddy Holly, and Aristophanes…[and] all of this…all of this…was for nothing. Unless we go to the stars.

Bab 5 was my favorite scifi series. Lots of libertarian ideas wrapped up in it along with Christian symbolism. Godspeed, Sinclair. Go to the stars.

And we have to add another name, to the list of B5 stars who are gone: Richard Biggs (1960–2004), Tim Choate (1954–2004), Andreas Katsulas (1946–2006), and now Michael O'Hare.

Sinclair's last words, of the last episode ("Chrysalis") of Season 1, were  "Nothing's the same anymore."

No, it isn't.

RIP Mr. O'Hare.

Damn, another one beyond the rim.
