I've never seen that video before. Thank you for sharing.

Such a tragedy how he ended up.

Yep, I figured I'd seen it before. I've seen all the YT B5 stuff by now.

What would make me happier than a gecko in a pool full of jelly is if someone had an old vhs tape of one of the B5 conventions from back in the day when B5 was still on the air and uploaded that to YT. That would be amazing!

The famous Blackpool convention, especially!

I saw the Commander at a small con in Portland, Maine. I don't remember the year. He appeared in a panel with Dirk Benedict and one of the Klingon sisters from Star Trek, iirc. Michael wasn't at his best, unfortunately. I remember hearing he wasn't feeling well. Having heard about his ongoing issues now, I'm not sure if that played into it. I am sure it was after season one, but not sure how long. He seemed to struggle to find answers to the questions, and on a couple of occasions they had to move on without an answer from him.

One amusing note about the con in general involves a young lady with a beautiful Minbari costume. Full headpiece and everything. It was very well done. The only thing is her ears were covered by the headpiece, and, as the actors have noted, it can make it hard to hear. Especially, I would think, with a noisy background. She was running the registration desk. I'll leave the ensuing conversations to your imaginations.

ha, i would never have imagined that one of the greatest B5 conventions ever held was at the norbreck castle in blackpool. i cycled past that place not 6 months ago whilst on holiday.

Someone already did. Though they didn’t put them up on youtube, but a website where the video can be downloaded. It’s a fair bet that’s how the O’Hare interview ended up on youtube. It was downloaded from the site then put up. (wasn't me this time BTW) : )
