B5 Fans, Good News - Page 2

The reason I like Dr. Franklin is because of his strong sense of right and wrong, and he always does what he believes is right, regardless of what others think, and even if he has to disobey orders. He stands up for his beliefs, never compromises his principles, and always remembers his duty as a doctor to heal and save lives. That's the kind of person I really respect and admire.

Last I heard of it Strazinsky (I don't know what it really is, don't care) said he wasn't making another B5 film as long as the Doctor and G'Kar insisted on being dead, which just ruins it for everyone.

But, B5. No, I can't be bothered. I realised after it finished all I cared about was the space battles. The set is clearly wood and cardboard.

I almost forget. I always supported the Shadows. There I said it.

I knew G'kar's human counterpart had left us whenever it happened. I didn't know about the others, though. Still, it would be nice to see something with the words B5 in it somewhere. Can't wait to see it. Now, if I can only afford to get the series on dvd.

I love B5, but I think it came to a good conclusion. Excalibur annoyed me to no end. I'd like to see Strayskisi(sp?) do something else.

We refer to him as JMS.

And if you have ever heard him speak, you would be surprised by what he has to say. His belief system is very unique and open to controversy. He is, IMHO, a very intelligent, inspired, talented and gifted man. Some people, namely Hollywood types, dislike him. (Rumor has it that even George Lucas has it out for him.

)

Rumor had it that Ted Turner tanked the show when it was on his network because JMS didn't subscribe to the same political POV that Ted is famous for.

Kinda petty if you ask me but that is the way people have reported Ted to be.

It is well known that if George Lucas dislikes you, you aren't going to find funding for your projects. And that has seemed to have been the problem with all of JMS's projects since the mid 90's.

Then again, I cannot think of a single reason for George Lucas to hate JMS, so I have my doubts about this rumor.

Because JMS made a sci-fi show that was better than Star Wars? If you believe the rumours, that's one of the reasons Firefly got tanked too.

The firefly / Lucas connection is accurate. That is no rumor. George Lucas has publicly denounced Josh Wheaton (Sp). GL also tanked Wing Commander and the original BSG.
