If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: soltakss;556984When he first appeared, I thought they shouldn't have cast "Chekov" in the part, then the second time he appeared, I completely forgot about Chekov.

From what I heard, Bester was not even a recurring character until JMS was so blow away with how Koenig played him.

Quote from: Spike;556508Also I still think that Mordin was one of the best TV villains. Yet, he did so very little, which may be why he worked so well.

To this day, anytime anyone really REALLY pisses me off, I'll just smile at them, and wave - just like this (wiggles fingers).

God I love that show. Molari is my favorite TV character just about of all time, but only because you can see his true, real, genuine feelings in "Day of the Dead" - he doesn't want to be where he is, doing what he is doing, but fate, and family, and duty has put him in the place where the future of the galaxy is to be determined.

And it cost him everything.

I can actually totally relate to him, in that regard. All I want is peace and the love of a good woman. But the universe won't let me have either, apparently.

the list of good supporting characters on B5 could take all week.

Londo is excellent on toast.
G'Kar is good, with moments of absolute brilliance
Bester, Ivanova, Delen's assistant, Morden... all brilliant.
For you the day you found a minor error in a Post by Spike and forced him to admit it, it was the greatest day of your internet life.  For me it was... Tuesday.

For the curious: Apparently, in person, I sound exactly like the Youtube Character The Nostalgia Critic.   I have no words.

Eet ees a good show, yes? I have to stop myself saying "yes?" after every sentence these days, marvellous actor that penis poker man. I'm a little disappointed they went with the hackneyed law versus chaos plotline, otherwise very courageous and well tied together as a whole. The shadows being beaten halfway through season five is a surprise. Veer got skinny, looks great on him, and Garibaldi went baldi, apparently due to some sort of criminal incident. This has been well worth my time so far.

"VIR" had to get skinny - because the actor Stephen Furst discovered around that time that he had a problem with diabetes and he had to radically change his diet pretty darn fast and get healthy.

About six months after the series ended some friends & I saw him at a convention and he was talking about that. Incredibly friendly and nice guy compared to many other actors I've seen at conventions.

I don't like the doc. I don't get any sense of human compassion from him. Dr Cox in Scrubs was a thundering dick, but you know you could forgive him because you got the sense that under it all, he really cared. This guy would do better in Robocop as a corporate sycophant. Still, loving the windup towards the end, I still think (HOPE) Garibaldi is doing an elaborate double agent routine rather than circling the drain.

Haha! Cap'n getting beat up in that Mars nightclub after being doublecrossed by Garibaldi reminds me of my own misspent youth. Ah the memories, or lack thereof. Nice to see mullets are still in fashion though, its a bit like seeing a frock coat these days.

What! That alien that looks like dried leather gone wrong plucked out his eyeball and left it in the honeymoon suite. Just when I think I have this show figured out. Still, looks like everyone got laid anyway so alls well that ends well. Speaking of which, that Russian president woman is the spitting image of my last girlfriend, and has about the same attitude.

Brilliant last episode, really makes you think. Future archaeologists will probably sift through these and all other internet communications from the dawn of the information age, and try to analyse the posts. We'll be a fascinating glimpse of a time long gone. No doubt they'll even try to connect the online personas with the real people and build up a picture of life at the time like people do with ancient pottery today.

The Season 4 finale was a very deliberate homage to "A Canticle for Leibowitz".
