Just a few quotes/facts;

- JMS has been offered a EP role on a show he can't refuse.

- Brannon Braga's reportedly to step back from his EP role on Enterprise.

Quote from JMS a little while back when he was asked what he'd do with Star Trek;

"Surprisingly, I can't comment on that."

I'm sure Joe would have a field day with the Trek franchise :lol:

Bloody Hell!

I'd love it to be true, but sadly I think we're taking 2 and 2 and getting 5.

Berman won't let go of the Trek franchise until it's dead.

The b*stard :mad:

I'm still intruiged as to what this show is that he's got the EP role on.

No doubt all will be revealed at the appropriate time :unsure:

That's one of Joe's failings though, the appropriate time is always months after he drops a hint :rolleyes:

He does tend to tease :D

Wouldn't really want him any other way though, B5 probably wouldn't have been half as good if he hadn't been a bit of a tease :)

He has his saving graces, every now and then he makes a pretty decent little TV show :lol:

tis true :)

What did you make of Crusade Paul ??

I know B5 fans tend to be of very differing opinions on that one. Good/bad/indifferent ??

I've actually never seen it.

:o

Sorry Paul, thought you'd seen it. Latest rumours on the B5 S5 DVDs is November :(

Crusade to follow after that. I didn't think the show was anywhere near as good as B5, but it did have a good cast and was just beginning to get promising when it was killed :(

I'd heard all the stuff about TNT's tampering etc and then it was pulled so I didn't bother with it.

I'll get the DVDs though certainly

As protective as Joe was with the show, TNT's meddling is fairly evident in places. W*nkers. It wasn't bad, not great, but not bad.

Right, that's me.

See yaz all, time for bed :)

:sleeping:

I tell you what guys, turns out we weren't too far wrong :o

Quote taken from TrekToday;

Methinks Mr Rylander isn't going to be too happy about this. :lol: :lol: :lol:

What do we have to do for it to come true? After everything you and others have told me about him, maybe it would be good to give him a go!!

I will guarantee you Ken, if Joe took over Trek, you'd get the best Star Trek series there's ever been.

I would imagine that at least in part it would also depend on how successful the proposed B5 movie does. If successful it could lead to a series of it's own.

And rest assured, if it does come to pass one Mr Rylander will never, ever hear the end of it :lol: :lol:

I take it he isn't a JMS supporter then? :rolleyes:

That's how the whole 18 month argument with Carl first erupted. He got on his high horse accusing B5 of having comicbook dialogue and being rubbish. Based largely on the strength of comments made in the Radio Times Guide to Science Fiction and the one episode of the show he had seen clips of :rolleyes:

You can imagine the fun we had when he started using Harlan Ellison and his work on the TOS episode CITY ON THE EDGE OF FOREVER as being Science Ficiton at it's very best. After pointing out that Harlan was a powerful mover and shaker in B5 circles he suddenly became a hack.

That's the kind of mentality we were dealing with when arguing with Carl.

As I said, should this come to pass, Mr Rylander will never, ever be allowed to forget who was needed to be bought in to save Star Trek ;)

If I ever needed any concrete proof the guy is a tw*t (which I don't) then that is it!

ps I didn't realise it was Harlan Ellison that did the "Babylonian Productions Inc" voiceover at the ends of the eps!

LOL

Harlan did a few little touches like that. He did the voice of the new station computer in one of the early Season 4 episodes as well, the cranky one who bugs Garibaldi.

Carl's just a tw*t all ends up. Winning isn't enough now with him, my mission won't be fully accomplished until said w*nker realises he was wrong to ever oppose us in the first place :lol: :lol:

Another slice of classic Ellison writing is the Original Outer Limits episode DEMON WITH A GLASS HAND. Outstanding storytelling of the highest calibre.

Bloody Hellfire!

Can it be true? :unsure:

Am Ii awake? :unsure:

Am I sober? :unsure:

The trouble is that the idea's just so perfect that those nerds at Paramount/UPN will never see it in a squillion years :stoopid:

As much as I'd love it to be true Tony, I tend to agree with you. It's just too much of a perfect solution to Trek's current problems.
