| 183.1 | NOTES on MEDDLE:: | HYLNDR::SCHUETZ | SQOIS NAS Integration Project Leadr | Tue Oct 26 1993 01:44 | 4 |
| Anyone interested should check out MEDDLE::ALT-TV-BABYLON-5
conference. It's interesting in that the Creator and Producer and
Primary writer of the series (jms) is an active participant in the
Internet dialogue, through GENIE.

| One can only hope that the series turns out better than the incredibly
lame pilot. I was extremely disappointed in both the writing and the
acting. Reminded me of a weak episode of Space: 1999.

| 183.3 | TV Guide gave it one star | RAGMOP::KEEFE | | Thu Oct 28 1993 06:48 | 11 |
| I agree--dreadful. The acting was particularly dull. The captain, the
security chief, Tamlyn Tomita as Number One (?) --yawn to the lot of
them. Peter J*** (ex of Hill St Blues?) as Lando of the Bozo haircut
almost managed to rise above the quality of the script.
And it won an Emmy for special effects? I must have missed something.
Spoiler, though who could possibly care...
And after all that rigmarole, we never even got to see the molten-metal
critter in the funny suit! What a tease.

| 183.4 | Expect good writing | TLE::TOKLAS::FELDMAN | SDT Software Engineering Process Group | Thu Oct 28 1993 08:11 | 6 |
| Some previews were shown at WorldCon. Tamlyn has been replaced.
Judging from the two shows previewed (just first acts of each), the
writing is excellent. The lead actor still seems flat to me, but
I think he'll work out.

| I checked as carefully as I could in VTX to find a Babylon 5
conference and found no listing--despite the one listed in an earlier
note on MEDDLE. I don't want to step on anyone's toes, but I've
created a Babylon 5 conference on our node:
CLOSUS::BABYLON5
Here is my entry in the VTX registry:
This conference has been created for discussion of the FOX TV series
Babylon 5. Appropriate topics include discussion of series episodes,
series personalities, technical wizardry used on Babylon 5, posts from
the Internet Babylon 5 newsgroups, and similar subjects.
I've entered the FAQ from the Internet, as well as some general
information on Internet ftp sites, etc.
Everyone's welcome!

| 183.7 | Hasn't this show been cancelled yet? :-) | NETRIX::michaud | Babylon this | Fri Apr 01 1994 13:22 | 0 |
| 183.8 | | STRWRS::KOCH_P | It never hurts to ask... | Sat Apr 02 1994 00:23 | 2 |
| I've thought the same thing. I think you'll have to look into the
Babylon 5 notesfile to find out what the status is...

| 183.9 | Not dead yet infact it feeling better | APACHE::PETERS | Be nice or be dog food | Sat Apr 02 1994 02:02 | 4 |
| Acording to the note traffic. This show has been picked up for another
season and is moving briskly up on ds9 in the ratings. It could be
a real ratings race in just a few weeks.

| 183.10 | better than expected | BEDAZL::MAXFIELD | | Sat Apr 02 1994 04:59 | 9 |
| I resisted this show at first (read mediocre reviews), figured
ST:TNG and DS9 were enough to follow. But after watching a couple
of B5 episodes, I think it's as good and possibly better than
DS9, at least in terms of special effects, and in the characters
(I only like Quark and Odo on DS9; at least B5 looks like it
has a few more likeable/interesting characters).

If you only know this series from it's pilot give it another look. It's much
improved from the pilot and is getting steadily better. I think it's now
better than ST:DS9 and as good overall as ST:TNG. It's certainly much better
science fiction and has excellent basics and a grand five year plan.

Does anybody know where the Babylon 5 conference is now, did it
go the way of Babylon 4 :-)
