Re:Good News, and Very, Very Bad News
I totaslly agree that The legend of the Rangers was dreadfull, and agree that that was completely JMS’s fault. The acting wasn’t bad, it was the concept and the dialogue that let the show down, and those were totally the responsibility of JMS.
However, I totally disagree that Crusade sucked. It was far more rich and deep than the first 13 episodes of Babylon 5 itself, and the concept for the rest of the five-year arc was great. The problem was that the show was strangled in its crib, and we saw some of he squirmings under the blanket (namely, the first six episodes aired, which were designed by TNT Atlanta to give them the excuse to pull the plug).
And [i]Thirdspace[/i] was not the last movie made, it was the second one made. It was a ripoff of HP Lovecraft (or an homage, if you prefer) and he similarities it shared with Wing Commander were at best incidental (unless WC was ripping off Lovecraft). I agree it was not very good overall, but it had some great acting that rescued it from the dialogue.
Now, if you want to bitch about [i]River of Souls[/i] you have to stand in line.
