NO Spoilers - Babylon 5: The Road Home

[Jan]

Getting these threads ready ahead of time. I just love having something new to be conscious of spoilers!! Do please be careful because it's been a long time since I've had to move posts around and I don't want to lose your deathless prose!!

Zathras returns!

But if it is an alternate timeline, is it really the same Zathras seen in B-Squared and WWE? Instead of Zathras, could be Zathras, Zathras, Zathras, Zathras, Zathras, Zathras, Zathras, Zathras, or Zathras.

Mustn't be confusing Zathras.

Tonight's the night for the premier screening of TRH!! I made up a few 'party favors' to celebrate. Hope folks like them. Badge ribbons aren't a big thing at SDCC but I think they're fun.

Very quick non-spoiler reation to The Road Home. It. Is. AMAZING!

The best way I can put it is that it does feel like coming home. There's humor you'll recognize, touching moments and a true Annoyance of Zathrii. More probably after I get home but I really very much enjoyed this film!

Huh - this should've posted last night. I'm sure it's my laptop's fault.

One other non-spoiler thing: While not as operatic as Franke's, the music does serve the movie well, I think.

Thanks Jan. Looking forward to seeing it!

Are there good quotable lines? We need new fodder for the conversation thread. LOL

Oh, yes! And a fair number of Zathras-isms.

I heard Joe said a group of Zathras' is called an

Annoyance of Zathrii.

Is that true? I can't imagine that's a spoiler but hiding just in case.

It is sort of a spoiler, but depends on how one interprets the context.

Fans wanted More of Zathras?
Fans will GET More of Zathras.

Zathras is Everywhere Zathras is Everything Zathras has Many Bodies Zathras is Annoying

Yes, he said it on Twitter not long ago. And while the question wasn't specifically about the movie, it's applicable, I think.

ETA: A nice article JMS just linked to. I don't see any spoilers that aren't in the trailer, but if you want to remain entirely spoiler-free, be warned.

Okay so rough week, but finally catching up. WOW did I love that article. I soooooooooo want to read the Spoiler Thread, but I just have to wait a matter of weeks! I wonder which of my Pre-Orders will arrive first. Hmmmmmmmmm

This is not really a spoiler since we already know Sheridan bumps into Future Franklin (audio from the trailer and the Images from the Phoenix convention). Not really too sure what my favorite moments are from all of TRH, but would have to say that one of them has to be Sheridan/Franklin. Can't speak too much of other scenes without going into Spoilers, although in hindsight the trailer does a great job of sampling parts of the film as can watch the trailer again and see how it all fits together.

And on semi-related things, noticed on (I think) IMDB and another article the following...
"Apparently, due to legalities, "Crusade"-specific content was off-limits to the production"

I don't see that it's apparent at all, really. There's no place for anything Crusade-related in the story that JMS told, that I can see. But I guess it doesn't matter.

Just some Useful Trivia in case anyone wonders if Crusade-Related Items may (or may not) pop up, as while I am a fan a Crusade, am even Bigger fan of B5. Guess since Crusade wasn't as established as B5 was, would be harder to bring that back when it is better to be focusing on more animated B5 and a potential reboot. But can still Dream. Hoping it is as simple as "New B5 = $$$$" and the execs notice the "$$$$" part and pay attention.

ONE WEEK TO GO
