Preserved Topic: B-5 Movie Marathon

For all of those in the U.S. with access to the Scifi channel, there's a B-5 movie marathon running on that channel today. If you like B-5, check it out.

But... but... June Bugs is on Cartoon Network.
What to do? What to do?

Heh.. never was much of a toon fan, not even much in the way of Animé. Mind you, when the new Stargate animated series starts up, I may just make an exception.

I'm at work, what time does it start?

Darn it.

Ya missed it Petskull... I ran all day Sunday.

B5 rules!

You know Bugs, I agree. One of these days (well weeks/months) I'd like to see the whole series from start to finish. I've seen a lot of episodes, but many of them out of chronological order which means that a lot of the subtler plotlines have been lost to me.

One episode that sticks in my mind a lot (and I've only seen it once) seemed to be one about a time travelling ranger or somesuch from far, far in the future in the B-5 universe who's back in B-5 times influencing things. Or was he merely observing? bleh.. so long ago since I saw it, I can't remember. But I do remember that I kept wishing they'd make a spin-off series based on that episode.

Anyway.. enough ramlbing..

Withern- they did... it's called 'Crusade' about after they went to war with the 'old ones' that were controlling everybody (the eye on everybody's neck). Apartently, before they were wiped out they put a plauge on Earth and it was quarentined. So, this one ship os supposed to find a cure before the 5-year incubation runs it's course and everyone on earth dies...

Thanks Petskull. I've seen Crusade. Not a bad series, though I think it lacked some chemistry with the characters, which lead to it's downfall. But the episode I was talking about has rangers from 1,000,000 years in the future. I did a bit of quickie searching on the web (something I probably should have done quite some time ago). The episode is called The Deconstruction of Falling Stars. It shows the impact of B-5's existance and what happened there, at intervals of 100, 500, 1,000 and 1,000,000 years afterwards. The prime focus of the story is a group of monks attempting to preserve historical information on humanity some time after a catastrophic war amongst humanity that obliterated a lot of what humans had accomplished. This all taking place sometime beyond the chronology of B-5.

oh shit, that's right!

I remember that one because I always manage to miss the end...

*wishin' I could download it*

ya, I'ma geek... sue me..

A friend of mine has ~every~ episode on tape. She's a really really big B5 fan, she got me hooked many years back.

Well Petskull, with the advent of DVD I'm sure it won't be long before they begin offering the full seasons of B-5 on DVD. They're already doing that with shows like Star Trek Next Gen., and Stargate SG-1. I guess we just need to be patient.

Stargate Animated Series?

When? Where?

From what I've heard, it's due out on Fox in the fall. You can go here to read a short write-up on it. It'll be called Stargate - Infinity. Purportedly, it will take place 20-30 years after the SG-1 series.
