Great, kid… don't get cocky.

The Clarksdale Sessions are great. "In Another Room" is such an amazing song that is just buried on side B! Does anyone have any idea what Costello yells at the end of it? It sounds like "Lib-er-tee-yah!" and the band rouses up a suddenly uptempo ending. It's always puzzled me.

I was always suckered by Peter Krause's more typical matinee looks, but you're recaps have really made me re-assess how awesome Josh Charles was in this show.  Thanks!

Oh man, absolutely!  I was a lucky teenager who had NO idea what kind of episode I was going to see - DS9 was just on syndication one evening.  I sat down to watch a camping episode and all of the sudden there was a Babylon 5-level shock!  Plus, Quark actually contributed something besides (questionable) comic relief.…

Not to discount them entirely, but claims of Star Trek's ability to show "passionately-charged" relationships is diametrically opposed to the montage of "Riker's Awkward Flirtations" that reels through my brain when we talk about Star Trek: Passions.  Ajax may be right about the…

Yeah, I think someone is quoting a lot of JMS old material.  The phrasing of some of this stuff sounds very familiar, like old posts I've read before.  So I think it could be a pretty sweet addition to this series as long as the person keeps honest(ish).

Regarding the glacial pacing of season 1:  There are notes in the script books that in it's loose origin days, Babylon 5 was being sorta, kinda considered for two five-year-arcs.  (See Spoiler below) This show was launched when Xena and Hercules were racking up huge ratings and were seen as the possible future for…

This is so nerdy, but the first fan fiction I ever ran into was a B5 parody where Sinclair is revealed to have been on B5 for all of season two, he was just standing sideways and his character was so two-dimensional that no one could see him, and no one was happy to have him back because anyone who touched him got…
