Believers
That's the Jehovah's Witness one, isn't it? Parliament of Dreams deals with religion a little more kindly, IIRC.

But you're right, as in any series, there are some absolute stinkers of episodes which are clearly there for filling.

*cough*Soul Hunter*cough*
And yes it is, the parents who won't let their child have a life-saving operation. Very nicely done.

Right, I've never know this; what does IIRC stand for?

if i recall correctly
iirc.

And Soul Hunter exists only to point out that 'There is a hole in your mind, Commander'.

Also, one of the films has Soul Hunters in it.

The whole Satai (spelling?) thing it introduced is intriguing, certainly
The acting does bug me, I must admit. Apart from G'Kar and Londo, who are having an awesome time with their scenery-chewing, and should have been given some kind of odd couple-esque spin-off series.

Which one does Shatner do?

She'd like that

well
what red-blooded woman wouldn't?

Shatners done anything with a pulse female or otherwise

That sounds suspiciously like a confession

Unfortunately
Andreas Katsulas (G'Kar) and Richard Biggs (Franklin) are both a bit dead now. Very sad.

can you be "a bit" dead?
i thought it was an all-or-nothing kind of thing?

Shurrup we're talking Star Trek here
Spock came back and all sorts
( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Tue 26 Apr 2011, 11:05, Reply)

i can safely say
i have never seen "star trek".

and i've only seen one of the "star wars" movies. i've always been a bit hazy about the connection, is "trek" a spin-off?
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 26 Apr 2011, 11:06, Reply)

It's pretty much all the same
Apart from the explicit Shatner sex scenes in Star Trek
( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Tue 26 Apr 2011, 11:07, Reply)

well
you and DG have just confused me. who to believe??

well, only one of you mentioned explicit sex scenes, which is therefore the more interesting explanation...
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 26 Apr 2011, 11:09, Reply)

Shatner used always knob something every week
He was all about weird alien sex
( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Tue 26 Apr 2011, 11:12, Reply)

i really couldn't get on board with that
"no i've told you before. when aliens come, they sound like this:

weeeeeehwopgaerhhhhhhhhrey"

not that anyone who was into aliens could make me come, mind.

No, it's a separate franchise altogether.

Star Trek's a bit too po faced and worthy for my liking.
And too many bumpy headed aliens.

Morning DG
Obviously I have to ask you for opinion and theories on Saturday night's mindfuck
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 26 Apr 2011, 11:12, Reply)

I thought it was absolutely fucking brilliant.
Although I want to catch it again before next week. No theories as yet, though.
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Tue 26 Apr 2011, 11:17, Reply)

I concur
I do have a theory, which I am determined to get out there because if it proves to be correct I might get drafted into the PsyCorps alongside Walter Koenig (look at me, b3th!)
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 26 Apr 2011, 11:20, Reply)

That actually does make me sad
G'Kar is easily my favourite character. I particularly enjoyed his monologue to Sinclair's bird about the undiscovered wonders of the universe with reference to ants.
