Good point. Just makes it that much more aggravating when a network kills a show before it has a chance to improve. Firefly is a perfect example (although arguably it was fantastic right out of the gate.)

Very true. I'm still amazed that JMS was allowed to go as far as he did. I can't think of another series before B5 that was one continuous story.

I videotaped & got the DVD sets - well worth it!

That's an awesome book. Highly recommended.

Yes, but something is broadcasting the stuff that the QB is listening to.

At one time, someone had put together a proposal for a continuation - think it was in the late 1990's. For whatever reason, it fell apart.

The pilot for Babylon 5 was ... "awkward." Heck, the majority of Season 1 had issues.

Dang it! I was just about to head over to memegenerator to crank out one for this :)

Not to pick nits, but it also wasn't stated that the planes couldn't, either. I have to agree with Rob B. - I'd be much more concerned about a pilot getting spurious crosstalk than an NFL player.

Ok, this'll teach me to post without reading Doc Lizardo's posting first!

Through the wonders of DVR, NASA & YouTube, kids everywhere should be able to watch this as many times as necessary to instill a freakin' sense of awe, wonder & excitement! :) Repeat as needed.

Apologies if this has already been posted, but, if you haven't already you should read Larry Niven's "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex" essay on Superman's love life. It's hysterical.

"Additional charges may apply. See store for details."

Really wish someone would do a remake of "U.F.O.," by Gerry Anderson. That show scared the bejeebus out of me as a kid; I can just imagine how much better it could be now with updated special f/x.

How about The Darkman, Ash from Army of Darkness, the current Doctor Who, one of the Men In Black...

Thought we already had a scientific name for that - it's called "dain bramage." :)

"Space-Casual," by Ralph Lauren.

Well, splitting it into eighths would just be silly.

Reminds me of one of the gag comics Marvel used to put out. Showed a bunch of superheroes in Boise, ID (or someplace equally off the metropolitan track) sitting around wondering what to do next. Suggestions made for badminton, etc., Newspaper headline stated that Galactus had eaten NYC.

I always liked the tongue-in-cheek definition of NTSC: "Never The Same Color."
