Jedit posted:But nobody is going to say that Alan Bradley in the TRON movies is particularly right wing. Even Sheridan isn't especially right wing when considered as a whole. Jerry Doyle may have been Garibaldi, but then he was a broker who decided to have a go at acting; JMS shaped the part around the man because it got a better performance out of him. Boxleitner is an actor, and more than capable of not being himself on screen. I sure wish I could find that speech the future Earthers make Sheridan give about blazing a path across the galaxy through the blood of alien children. But I def agree with you. Honestly Boxleitner can still deliver a stirring enough speech that I'd follow him into battle.

Endless Trash posted:1. Babylon 5 I kind of liked Sense8, though it is a bit difficult to follow. I think the payoff at the end of season 1 is worth it though. I'd say thematically it reminds me of his Rising Stars graphic novel.

Nerdietalk posted:There’s a lot of stuff from his Spider-Man run I like, to the point I partly want to assume his bit on One More Day was something he was pushed into, but I have no evidence to back up that belief and I doubt it exists. I don't think he gets as much flak for One More Day as he gets for Sins Past which, I get the idea behind it, but there was no way to make it work feasibly. Edit: i think his run before it was great though and I love the idea of a Peter Parker who was a Spiderman and had a family that supported him behind it. quote:but Straczynski was on board with the editorial mandate of undoing the Parkers' marriage.[citation needed] That's weird since he spends like three issues getting them back together.

jng2058 posted:I've always thought that was one of the hidden strengths of B5. While there are A- or B- or even C-plots that suck rear end, it's rare that both (or all three in some cases) plots suck. Grey 17 is Missing is often cited as one of if not the worst B5 episode, and the Garibaldi vs. the worst looking rubber suit monster ever A-Plot does indeed suck rear end, but it's splitting time with the actually quite awesome Marcus vs Neroon B-plot. Think the alien probe part of A Day in the Strife is stupid? You're right! But the B-plot with G'kar and Ta'lon is great as is the C-plot with Londo and Vir. And so on and so forth. It's actually pretty hard to find a B5 episode that's terrible from start to finish, where as I can come up with just off the top of my head The Royale, Profit and Lace, and Threshold as TNG, DS9, and VOY episodes that were an entire hour of agony for me, only relieved by the merciful commercial breaks. The Royale is classic. i bet you don't like Up the Long Ladder either.

I always thought a prequel series could depict the Dilgar War. Setting it shortly before and then during the war would nicely lay the groundwork for showing Clark maneuvering into Santiago's VP slot, the slow roll that brought about the rise of fascism on Earth, etc.

If he gets a proper five season commitment from the outset, we can even see what his original idea for a complete fifth season would have been. Dammit, a Farscape continuation would have been perfect for the CW. it's basically a bunch of sexy, horny space criminals.

SlothfulCobra posted:I just realized that the reason I didn't have a real memory of Keffer was because I kept confusing him with Zack. Given that telepaths are a critical weapon in the Shadow War, it's seems like the idea of a telepath underground smuggling humans away from Psi Corps should be plot point where human telepaths would have joined B5 in the Shadow War and worked with Sheridan when the Earth Civil War started.

Londo couldn't just let them go because the Vorlons might still think there were Shadows still had influence over Centauri Republic. Killing Morden and destroying the ships was the only way Londo could show that the Shadows held no sway over them. edit: I always that the eye that does not see was that Centauri treasure?

I wonder if Babylon 5 is the only space station that has that many different species present on it at any one time. I have to imagine that most of the big corporations from all the major and minor governments had offices or representatives on board just for all the deal making and business opportunities that had to be present.

Narsham posted:I’d be curious how many people with military experience have heard commanding officers getting briefed on details they should already be aware of. A scene like this may be truth in television! A colleague of mine was briefing an officer on the overall situation in some country and when he got to slide on our capabilities the guy stopped him and said "I know what we have down there." The whole Sheridan/White Star thing could probably be fixed with a line about Sheridan getting data crystal about the White Star's capabilities and mid-fight Sherida asks Lennier "White Star can do X, right? So we can do yadda yadda and nuke them to hell." And Lennier nods like the sub he is.

CainFortea posted:I don't think there's much info on where the Narn stand in relation to the Centauri before hostilities break out again. Were the Narn basically second class citizens on the galactic stage? Or was their opening of the war more about getting their own back? It was hostile but in the realm of "we'll secretly attack you" ala Midnight on the Firing Line, rather than provoke open conflict. But IIRC the Narn also openly grabbing territory all around them regardless of neutrality or opposition. They just never openly provoked another major power or Non-Aligned world.
