Pfft. Not a chance, like vast tracts of the B5 cast, she cant act to save her life, and she's not even that hot.

What was it with B5 anyway? Great Story/plot, terrible actors. Even the guy who played Garibauldi was less than convincing...

Tue Dec 30, 2008 1:48 pm

yeah.. I loved B5 over anything else that came out before or after it yet the people needed a little bit more "schwung"

B5 was great until Ambassador Kosch(sp?) got naked. Then the whole series died on its ass and ive not wtched it since.

Nah, It stayed awesome for a lot longer than that. most of the best stuff happened after that (if you'd stuck around long enough to find out only the humans saw an angel, and everybody else saw whatever they beleived in, you'd probably have not felt it was that aweful).

But when they ended the war to end all wars halfway through a season (the last one as far as I remember) then quickly shoved in the earth cival war they had always been promising (cuase they had clearly been canceled, or at least told to get the hell on with it) and did it in the remainder of the season, dispite it clearly needing longer, thats when it went all wrong. And some of the spin off tv movies have been dreadful/really disapointing.

I agree the Earth Civil War was a bit short, but the reason for it (as I'm sure you know), was that there was doubt the series was going to be picked up for a fifth season, and as I understand it, it wasn't until towards the end of the fourth that they heard they'd been picked up. So at the time, JMS thought he had to wrap everything up, hence the rush into the ECW.

News Credits: 1 · Tue Dec 30, 2008 2:32 pm

I've only watched it all through once, so I couldnt remember if the ECW had even managed to last 1 full season...

Anyway, if they werent sure about the continued existence of the show, wouldnt it have been better to conclude the galatic war properly, but leaving it open ended/seting up the cival war? Cause leaving a show so clearly openend has saved shows before (Angel managed another season out of doing that, admitedly that season was ruined by the show being offcially cancaled half way through it, and the entire 5 season run being ruined in an atempt to tie up all the ends by the end of it).

And it still dosnt answer why all the actors were at best 'not brilliant' (except for Londo and G'kar of course, who were win filled golden nuggets of win), and why the music changed/got worse at least once a season (some of the theme tunes used were positivly aweful).

Ahh well, at least it was better than most of the dross that is Star Trek...

Man, Talking about TV shows gives me wood when I think of "nowhere man"

the tune..

The civil war was wrapped up pretty quickly, but in terms of overall plot it tied in well with the Shadow War and the subsequent attack on Earth by Shadow Minions that lead into Excalibur which was too much of a short lived show.

Some of the movies were utter **** however as they never could get the full cast back together.

Nope, fraid not. And I've exhausted my group of mates for any information as to his possible whereabouts.

I've decided to do an 'unoffcial' scores so far sometime tonight. I've also asked a couple of the mods if they'd like me to do the final scores, should tam not reapear anytime before a couple of days after it finishes, and they have no problem with that, so you'll have someone to finalise everything, if nothing else.

Hopefuly nothing bad's happened to Tam...

Maybe he/she/it went on vacation.

News Credits: 3 · Tue Dec 30, 2008 4:50 pm

there are also a few others who havent made an appearance in the hunt. is there a plague the governments aren't telling us about?

Tue Dec 30, 2008 5:13 pm

I know Tam was stoked before the start so if anything, it's involuntary.

I wouldn't doubt it, lol. They're too busy stealing our money and starting wars. Hey...maybe that's it! Tam and the others have been drafted into the military.....

Yeah, thats my opinion too, if nothing else, he'd have mentioned something to myself, JP, Psych or other higher up members of the RDD if he had a problem he knew about.

No, no. She's infected. She's not actually undead.

It occurs to me that he/she/it could be attending to a family emergency.

Anything is possible.

She might be recovering from Holiday meal stuffings or Prepping for New Years Eve alcoholic goodness? And, since she's a math buff. She could be calculating either how many calories she just filled up on or how many drinks she can have before she passes out?
