RIP W. Morgan Sheppard

I'm not sure I ever heard anything but as I recall, they were dipping bread cubes into the fondue and most recipes I see suggest dipping veggies. Though I'm sure bread would absorb more of the sauce....

Depends on which anniversary you want to celebrate. "The Gathering" will have its 26th anniversary Feb. 22 but "Midnight on the Firing Line" has its 25th anniversary on Jan. 26....

Some things were kind of silly - like the scene in the opening credits of a horse pulling a defunct car. But for the most part I liked it a lot - particularly the second season. Just recently watched "Man of Iron, Woman Under Glass" again recently and really liked it. Favorite characters...

[Jan]

Congratulations! Have you made anything yet? Or what would you like to try first?

[Jan]

Yeah...Good grooming is SO bougie, right? ...

[Jan]

Yeah...how old is C anyway? What an odd question to ask....

[Jan]

I'm confused? This specifically says he's on board as a producer, not showrunner, that Monica Owusu-Breen is....

[Jan]

Sigh...have I mentioned recently how much I despise the term 'filler episodes'? A term that never existed until arc shows were made popular, of course. Why would you skip "The Very Long Night of Londo Mollari"? It was key to the fulfillment of the Londo/G'Kar arc.

Reported by his son, Mark, on Instagram:



The one time I met him at a convention he was having a wonderful time telling stories about any and everything. Delightful man. He'll be missed....

[Jan]

Well, in one interview he said that he planned to *finish* the script so, offhand I'd say yes. And he's reported the difficulty in getting investors when he doesn't hold all of the rights so I'd say that would be a yes, also. All of which were reported here, of course.


Sounds like...

[Jan]

Kind of the nature of the business, I'm afraid. The majority of projects never get made and all of JMS' projections for making a B5 movie were predicated on the build-up of Studio JMS. It's not as though it was all under his personal control, after all. If it were, Spike wouldn't have ceased to be...

Three weeks from today, January 26, will be the 25th anniversary of Babylon 5's premier in the US. "Midnight on the Firing Line" was the third episode produced and first to air....

[Jan]

You can watch it online, Looney! No excuses!...

[Jan]

For those watching B5 on Comet TV here in the US, New schedule starting next week:...

[Jan]

Cool! Thanks for sharing!...

[Jan]

Doesn't look like it was salvaged, unfortunately....

[Jan]

Happy New Year, everybody! Please stay safe and always remember to be kind to yourself and others. Thanks for being here!

[Jan]

I'd love to know, too - though I fear that it may have been destroyed when the dismantled the Casino set for the War Room.
ETA: I tweeted JMS to ask if he knows.

And you're very welcome. That was such a great gift that the buyer gave me when I was more than happy to help out....

[Jan]

A tweeter claimed that there's no 'art' to a movie, only the combination of many 'crafts'.

I've always loved seeing the attention to detail that went into the show, even for scenes that only showed for a second or two.

I'm not sure if I've ever posted these here before. As many/most know, back when JMS was selling the show he had some artwork done by Peter Ledger. One piece...
