JMS doing this as a passion project could mean it's either awesome or terrible, and I'll take that gamble because it'll at least be interesting. But yeah if it were someone trying to find an IP they can pin a new streaming service on, I'd be much more skeptical.

I had a screenshot of a promo letter I received from the CW touting the new shows they're airing next fall - leading off with a space station. But then I woke up.

We had purchased from Vudu some years ago, but I haven't checked if they are updated at all. Anyone know offhand?

My wife did the same thing, I had called it "a thinking man's sci fi" or something like that and she was like "whatever you say, dear" during S1. By the time we finished Sleeping in Light she immediately turned to me and said in no uncertain terms we were going to immediately watch again starting from S1.

SlothfulCobra posted:I don't think there's ever really a "comeuppance" for the Centauri. For Londo, maybe, but the Centauri aren't grandly defeated, they just pull back from Narn and go back into anew form of decline as the story mostly loses sight on the Centauri as a whole.

Trying not to hold my breath for a proper full remaster. It's on time for a 30th anniversary edition Blu ray though....

I'd settle for Bear McCreary or Michael Giacchino doing their best Franke ripoffs.

I said come in! posted:So that turned out to be a nothing burger. I dunno, I couldn't be any less interested in this. I can't help but be disappointed when what I really wanted was a good remaster. But I will do my best to give this a fair shot. Now an audio drama, I would have been right there with you.

Rappaport posted:The obvious example is Asimov's "the Mule", who more or less derails all of society with his psychic powers. Asimov's robots also wind up figuring out telepathy, but a lot of the stories portray it as either a full negative (LIAR!), or something to be guarded as a secret (Daneel and Giskard). There's Niven's Teela Brown, whose sort-of-psy-powers are (spoiler alert for a fifty-year-old book) revealed to have been the main instigator for everything that happens in the plot of Ringworld. Niven's "Known Space" also contains the Slavers, and there's some stories depicting how they ran a galaxy-wide empire with their telepathy powers while being absolute dumb-asses themselves, but granted these are not humans. It's hard to imagine a functional telepath not being a threat. To my thinking it's the kind of power advantage over "mundanes" that a billionaire has.

Waiting for the details seems wise. I'm in for now, but not in enough to preorder. I mean it has to be an upgrade over the DVDs, though, right?

Had some major life disruptions going on for a while, but I finally got around to watching The Road Home and I'm here to post about it. I had a blast with it! It was kinda fanservicey, but not in an obnoxious way, and the writing all seemed on point. The cold open with the socks was a great way to get it going, it felt like home immediately. If I'm a sucker, I'm loving every minute of it.

Pantaloon Pontiff posted:You made the assertion that it's hard to make a case that Minbari are worse than human beings in the context of ascending over the course of the series and afterwards, I responded to that my making the case that Minbari are worse under several possible standards of 'worse', including 'some sort of virtue' and 'willingness to explore new technologies' to show that it's not actually hard to make such a case. I'm not sure I'd quote the human government in B5, secular civilian or not, as a point of virtue. There's a lot more to virtue than simply having society organized a certain way. For most of B5's run (and part of the future we see in the S4 finale) Earth's secular, civilian government is also explicitly fascist and xenophobic. For "virtue" to be a factor in this question of ascending, it has to be on the level of the individual, and then consequently somehow reaching a critical mass.
