Here is a link:

Near the bottom of the page is a LINKS listing.
The vid shorts begin with Beyond Babylon 5, this one features JMS, John Copeland, Sam Netter, Pat Tallman, & Jerry Doyle! Only a couple of minutes long!!!
The one on Marcus is

very interesting... thanks for the link!

Wow, thanks for the link. I enjoyed reading that review and the clips were excellent. That's the first time in years I have actually seen the show in motion. The CGI effects still look good to this day. I wish I could see the entire series right now.

I am definitely with you on this subject! I had forgotten just how great the CGI was. And in reading over my writings the storyline had a lot of great episodes. It has been so long I cannot recall if I even had a favorite episode as it would have hard to really go with one. Maybe I will pull out one of the tapes-I taped as many of the episodes as I could at the time.

In finding the above link I ran across a great offer for the entire 5 DVDs set at Amazon.com for only $225.50US.
I am really tempted!!!!

Hope to be posting one of my parody columns up later this evening. Remember the Emporium selling character dolls?

Well here is most of a column I did in CARD CONNECT for the April 1996 issue. It is focused around an event that occurred during that week's episode of B5.



Well I did dig up the episode HOUR OF THE WOLF.
Be warned if you are viewing the episodes in sequence as the below may spoil the surprises.

Spoiler:

This episode begins with Captain Sheridan being trapped on Zahadun, Geribaldi trapped inside a Shadow ship, and the crew, DeLenn, Londo, G'Kar and the aliens all wondering what happened to Sheridan and if he is even alive. Ivanona is really bent out of shape. After the opening summary and credits the scene opens with Ivanona

Here is the opening scene of Ivanona


Please excuse the image quality-I shot it with a digital off of my TV! Enjoy.

Me either!!!

There is such a vast collection of characters that it seems like there would be no end to this series!!! I definitely hope that JMS goes beyond the regular characters that everyone is familiar with.

I would definitely like to see some in-depth storytelling about Lennier! And of course the villain Mordan!

Yeah, Lennier and Mordan are both such interesting characters, really all of them are, but those two especially would be great ones to delve into the character background and there are a lot of places that those could go...

Whatever happened to Lita Alexander, G'kar said she died, but did it ever mention how, really all he said was that she's gone.

Lyta's death was referenced in the Psi Corps Trilogy (novels, canon). No full narrative, just a reference.

Here is an excellent link to the story of Lyta. While I had thought that Lyta had gone off to the Vorlons, I had forgotten much of what transpired after her Vorlon experiences. This link refreshed my memory of the episodes of B5. Enjoy.

Hmm... I had forgotten a lot of the details to her character, pretty interesting....

While we all know about the spin-off series Crusade there is a nonJMS spin off that adds a bit of humor to the fantasy! Check this link and check out the very short videos!

While I have seen that years 2 and 3 tend to be the favorite years of the B5 series I find that I really like season 4. It was really hot with action and you never really knew what JMS was going to throw at you during the next episode. Near the tail end of 1997 I wrote the following two pages of a parody which I included in my closing issue of Split/Image.

The account of her death is interesting. I recall the books matching the timeline and the conflict going on at that time, but do not recall a specific reference to

Spoiler:

an attempt to assasinate Bester. My recollection is that she & another major lost character died blowing up Psi Corps HQ, with the HQ rather than Bester proper being the target.

But then, it's been a few years.

I also notice that the link doesn't cover Lyta's Psi-Corps Trilogy-documented family tree...

Spoiler:

i.e., the entanglement with the Vorlons that goes back to Desa Alexander, and later, Lyta's ... grandmother? getting Vorlon-zappied at Venus?

I always liked Lyta. But I have to admit her being an insanely hot redhead kind of influenced me.

Be sure to check the Babylon Park link above as I think that might be her voice on one of the mini-videos (?).
She was one of the B5 personalities that contributed to the spoof.
