Yes they should, especially with a movie of this length. I saw Out of Africa (161 min) in a theater and they had an intermission. And Endgame is 20 minutes longer than that!



IMO, a little Brie Larson/Captain Marvel goes a long way. She definitely overstayed her welcome...

[alpha128]

I enjoyed "Endgame" too. I'm going to be on vacation later this month and I'll probably go see it again.

Although I didn't have a problem, I did note that several reviewers discussed the subject of "pee breaks" (#1, #2, #3, #4). So perhaps the creators of these three...

If L hates Cynthia Torqueman that much, just wait until she makes the acquaintance of a certain

Alison Higgins!

And the link above says you're right about the reference.



I don't know for certain when Vir's surname is first heard, but I know he said it in #203...

Perhaps not as radical as it first appears. Now that I think about it, there are parallels between the first Dibley episode "The Arrival" and "Points of Departure". The previous vicar is "reassigned" on short notice and his replacement is not warmly received by all the...

Not pak'ma'ra. Almost certainly human....

[alpha128]

No, they did not.

In a complete change of pace we're now watching another series that ran from 1994 to 1998, The Vicar of Dibley....

[alpha128]

All right. Thanks babylonlurker and thanks JMS for confirming this....

[alpha128]

Right. We all know that the real final B5 episode was 'supposed' be about Sinclair coming back in giant duck starship:




Note to L: That is not an actual spoiler. We all know how serious spoilers are....

[alpha128]

The original air date for "There All the Honor Lies" was April 26, 1995. But I've read twice now, just in the last few weeks, that the singers in this episode were pak'ma'ra. And this is one of those times. I had also recently read, regarding the series finale "Sleeping in Light",...

Uh, the rest of your comments seem to be lost in hyperspace......

[alpha128]

I'm not sure as she mentioned the article in passing. It could have been this one, as the date of publication is about right: Could rotating black holes be gentle portals for hyperspace travel in the future?...

[alpha128]

Yes, no new mega fans. But if you "check the records, you'll be amused" - the Season 1 (condensed) thread has episodes with almost no commentary at all. Quite a change from the Q and A write-ups in Season 5.

Also, I didn't mention it before, but a few weeks back C mentioned...

[alpha128]

I didn't ask them for a final verdict. But if you've been following these threads, you'll know what they think of the show. I think their minds were pretty well made up by Season 4 and neither Season 5 nor SiL moved the needle for where they ended up.

I think they both followed the story...

[alpha128]

Nah, I was just trying to get you to come back - and it looks like it worked! ...

[alpha128]

There seems to be two schools of thought regarding SiL:

1. It's epic and incredibly moving
2. It's boring as hell

I think C & T fell somewhere in the middle, but much closer to #1. I think they were reasonably engaged but thought it was a bit slow. But no tears....

"War Without End", Part Two (excerpt)

On May 28, 2017 we sat down to view the first episode of "Babylon 5", and on April 28, 2019 (23 months later), we watched the last.

But first I queued up "War Without End", Part Two. I told them the show lays...

[alpha128]

B5-Stefan , how appropriate you're starting your rewatch as mine with C & T is coming to an end. As Lorien said in the next (and last) episode we'll watch, "This journey has ended. Another begins."...

[alpha128]

B5-Stefan, thanks for sharing.

I wonder what Looney has to say on the matter. Come to think of it, no one's seen Looney in almost a week. I don't think he's frozen this time....

[alpha128]

At first glance, I thought L expected Delenn to say gunman. At second glance, I realized you meant to type human.



Glad to see that you are now answering minor questions at least. C also needed clarification about this particular point....
