    Babylon 5 is still extant? Or do you mean you exhumed some musty, crusty old tape? The whole leather and obedience thang wearied me, yea even unto the Shadow stuff. Click heels & hand over brain, ask not .. etc but what you can do for the Hegemon.

  • Amphibious

    Oh, sorry, I see that you acknowledged earlier (?) down the list that you were delving deep. Can’t be doing with this Twit thingummy.

    I just downloaded the entire series, plus all the movies. 50GB of disk space! I do miss that era of TV storytelling. Have you seen the various TV movies?

  • Amphibious

    Speak you of BABYLON 5 movies? I was not aware of their existence.
    Not sure that I want to reimmerse myself in that recruiting-for-galactic-police oeuvre again though I would like to know what was the deal with Shadows, did they play nice in the end?
    In the Antipodes we were ill served by a FTA channel that monopolised the TREK  franchise but only broadcast the prequel, ENTERPRISE, intermittently and out of order, then stopped.
    However the various glimpses of D’Paul nekkid were well worth the rest of the cowboys-in-space ethos.
    There has been NO skiffy at all on our FTA netwroks for the last year or more.

    There were four B5 movies: “In The Beginning”, “Thirdspace”, “A Call To Arms” and “Legend of the Rangers”.  The original pilot, “The Gathering”, is also considered a movie, as is the failed movie serial, “The Lost Tales”.  Of the bunch, “In The Beginning” is superb, and “The Lost Tales” is pretty good, too.  “A Call to Arms” is entertaining, but is just the set-up for the failed series, “Crusade.”  The other movies are sort of bland.  “Legend of the Rangers” is just awful.
