I would say the thing I don't like the most about the miniseries is all of the little in-conflicts that the producer thought were required to make the show *real*. For example, the Coriolis wanna be chief was having a semi-secret affair with one of the pilots; the XO and Starbuck got into a fist...

Yeah, I can see that about JMS. He came off as quite arrogant on the DVD commentaries. I enjoyed the show through to season 4. Season 5 left a rather bad taste in my mouth-- it is still the only DVD season pack that I haven't purchased. The movies were so-so, except for 'River of Souls'...

Did you guys like Babylon 5?

Sorry for starting this guys. I just had never seen the show before and was impressed by the miniseries. I do respect LOAF's opinion immensly. Do I think that LOAF was directing a personal attack at me for liking the miniseries......absolutely not! His perception of the scifi community as a...

Ok, so I was in Blockbuster Video the other night and came across the Battlestar Galactica miniseries from 2003. Now previously I had never given the new Battlestar Galactica a chance because of my low opinion of the original series. I just can't get Lorne Green out of my head, and that is a bad...

Huh.....come to think of it, you are dead on. I remember playing through WCIV the first time thinking that I should really enjoy this because it is the last WC game that will probably be made. I also really missed some of the inner details, like a lack of continuing Confed missions (I never...

Hey LOAF, other than some of what you posted above, what else would you say is odd about WCIV?

Very funny you say that LOAF. I have had a similar experience in martial arts communities. I think this is one reason why out of all the discussion groups I go to, the CIC is one of the best. Things are debated seriously, but we try not to take ouselves too serious (sometimes this is something I...

Hello everybody, I am re-reading the original Dune book series by Frank Herbert. I am now nearing the end of 'Heretics of Dune'. Do you guys know of any good Dune discussion forums? I did a google search and came up with a couple, but I need the advice of those of you guys who have followed...

Yeah, I had actually forgotten about the fact that they were specifically called depots. This brings up another interesting insight into Confed strategy. At least two military depots on the fringes of Confed space, this could be a part of a greater plan. Perhaps a logisitics network for...

It would appear that Confed used a rather elastic line of defense as opposed to fixed fortifications on the frontier. Looking at the Nephele system in 2673, we see two outposts, Orlando and Bluepoint, both would seem to be easily fabricated, manned by a minimal crew, and carry a squadron or so...

Rabaul, a strategically important Japanese naval base in the South Pacific was bypassed in the manor you just described.

This is very sad news. He played against Peter Jurasik as G'Kar on B5 so well. A true talent has died.

I seem to remember Hawk stating that he had flown with Seether at some point in the war. Any further info on that?

Modern languages are the almagamations of older, dead languages and dialects from other modern ones. Prior to the Norman Conquest of England and the subsequent colonization, English was a far different language. An entirely new vocabulary was intermixed with the Anglo-Saxon and older Celtic...

The core? Not, the *corps*?

People talk smack on the AI in WC3, yet fighting at the top difficulty level was quite challenging. The Vaktoths especially were very good at closing range. Once they do, see how easy it is to stay on their tail, if you get there at all.

System Shock 2 should get an award for being the most suspensful game out there. It is one of the scariest and has a really cool plot. I think one of the things that made Doom 3 so good was the randomness of it. You could run down a corridor ten times and have nothing happen. On the eleventh...

Well....and I might be the only one, but I really enjoyed Doom 3 and got seriously freaked out playing the game at night. Very creepy.
