  • July 15, 2000 SEEING EAR THEATRE JMS' First Audio Drama for The
    July 15, 2000 SEEING EAR THEATRE JMS' first audio drama for the Seeing Ear Theatre premiered on Monday night. "The Damned Are Playing at Godzilla's Tonight" - featuring Steve Buscemi launched a 13-week series by JMS of 30 minute dramas at the Sci-Fi Channel’s website. "Rolling Thunder" - featuring Andre Braugher will be available next week.at http://www.scifi.com/set. The dramas are very much like the original radio format and I think you will enjoy the story. You'll need Real Audio loaded to listen. KEEPING UP WITH CAST AND CREW In the latest issue of TV Zone, we get our first glimpse of Marjean Holden in her new role as Atrina on "Beastmaster". We won't be seeing her episodes for a while, but she says "My character is a bit of a bad girl." Quite a change from her role as Dr. Chambers in Crusade. Ranger Bridgitte reports that: Goran Gajic (married to Mira Furlan and director of episodes like "All My Dreams Torn Asunder") recently directed an episode of "OZ", the awarding-winning prison drama produced by Levinson/Fontana. Goran's episode titled, "The Bill Of Wrongs" premieres on Wednesday July 26 on HBO. The episode will be shown several times throughout the week. A schedule of times is posted at: http://mirafurlan.simplenet.com/ozschedule.html GROUP PROJECT As Babylon 5 approaches it's premiere date on the Sci-Fi Channel of September 25, I wonder what resources we could make available to NEW Babylon 5 fans! When the show was on the air, there was a very active on-line community, the Official B5 magazine came out to provide us with information to digest and enjoy, the series would turn up in publications so that we could read about our favorite characters/actors.

  • BABYLON 5 Rulings Update Tuesday, July 17, 2001 a Comprehensive Rulings Packet of All Current Rulings for the Babylon 5 CCG
    BABYLON 5 Rulings Update Tuesday, July 17, 2001 A Comprehensive Rulings Packet of all current rulings for the Babylon 5 CCG. If two rulings contradict, the one with the most recent date takes precedence. Rule/Card: "Any faction may be supporte Relates to: 2000/08/21 Supporting a faction/side/player in a conflict is considered to be "supporting a conflict" Rule/Card: "As your first action" Relates to: 1999/03/21 If you play a conflict during the action round via some mechanism as an action, you may not play any card on that conflict which specifies "As your first action" since it is not the first action of the action round. Rule/Card: "Cannot" Relates to: 1999/03/29 "Cannot" in a card's effects text always takes priority over other cards, including both "you may" and "you must" cards. Rule/Card: "conflict that targets you" Relates to: 1999/08/12 Any card which states it has an effect if a "conflict targets you" will have that effect if the conflict targets your faction in general and/or any specific card within your faction. Rule/Card: "Count every X as 1 power" Relates to: 1999/01/25 In general you must have a full increment of X to gain 1 power. Rule/Card: "Do X to cause Y" Relates to: 1999/03/12 If a card says Do X to cause effect Y, X must happen and Y may or may not, as allowable. As an example, using Shadow Assault, you must rotate one fleet. You start a war against the target (unless you're already at war with them).

  • Official Rulings
    BABYLON 5 CCG OFFICIAL RULINGS 1. TURN OVERVIEW • No step in the turn sequence is voluntary. For instance, you cannot voluntarily skip the victory check in order to try to win a major victory by getting 10 or more power than another player. 2. READY ROUND 2.1 Ready Cards (Step 1): • Sustaining can only be done if: There was no cost for the action to be sustained other than rotating the card in question. All necessary requirements for the initiator and the target are still fulfilled. The action being sustained increases an ability of a Character or fleet or the text “while rotated” is on the sustaining card. Also, there is no end of turn gap in the effect. Any ability that is being aided is continuously aided, even if the card providing the aid has the phrase "until the end of the turn" on it. • A sustainable effect is automatically sustained if the Character/Group cannot ready. 2.2 Restore Influence (Step 2): 2.3 Determine Initiative (Step 3): • When determining initiative, you take into account damage to the ambassador for the purposes of comparing abilities. If two ambassadors are neutralized (i.e. all abilities considered to be 0) you determine initiative randomly. Amount of severe damage does not matter for this determination. You can sustain with an assistant to increase the ambassador's abilities for initiative determination, though you cannot do this to a neutralized ambassador 3. CONFLICT ROUND 3.1 Declare Conflicts (Step 1): • You can never target yourself with a Conflict. [Exception: Euphrates Treaty] If the Conflict provides a benefit to you without directing an effect at an opponent, it will not have you select a target.

    Babylon 5 Jump chain: It was the dawn of the Third Age of Mankind, ten years after the Earth-Minbari War. The Babylon Project was a dream given form. Its goal: to prevent another war by creating a place where Humans and aliens could work out their differences peacefully. It's a port of call – home away from home for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs, and wanderers. Humans and aliens wrapped in two million, five-hundred thousand tons of spinning metal, all alone in the night. It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last best hope for peace. This is the story of the last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2258. The name of the place is Babylon 5. You start with 1000 cp. Your age is 17+1d8, and your gender is whatever you entered this jump with. You may pay 100 CP for total control of both your age and your gender. ORIGIN: Drop in. Cost: 300 CP. Free: Iron Will, Stone Cold, Asceticism. You come to just as the passenger shuttle you are on docks with the station. You have a passport that gets you through customs and a storage locker containing whatever you purchased as well as a receipt for a one week booking in a nearby hotel. Earth born. Cost: 300 CP. Born and raised on Earth you were just a child during the Earth-Minbari war, and still remember looking up at the night sky and watching ships fall burning from orbit. Native born Earthers are given grudging respect for their resolve during the war by a great many aliens (aside from the Minbari) but have problems trusting non humans.

  • A Long Letter from the Future Reviews of Babylon 5, from a Minbari
    A Long Letter from the Future Reviews of Babylon 5, from a Minbari Point of View by Shira Destinie Jones ShiraDest is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. 1 ToC: 2 Minbari Mondays, B5 order of viewing, and mass transit in space? The common good, or the general welfare, imho, must become more fully inclusive for all of us, and also requires me to do a re-watch review of that 1990s series Babylon 5, the best American TV series of all time, imnsho. The episodes will be reviewed in Lurker’s Guide order, from the point of view of a fictional Minbari lady I am in the process of inventing at the moment. I will probably wait until after the current impeachment trial is finished to start posting the reviews, since no one will be reading blog posts, right? Just let me know in the comments, please, if you want me to start them sooner, since I’m writing them up in draft from now… The lady, Anla’Shok Mayann, will send her reports on each episode from the city of Tuzanor on her home planet of Minbar, where she is currently stationed. It was the dawn of the third age of mankind. (Why do I always hear “Toute la Gaule est occupée par les Romains…” right after those words??) So, it turns out that patience is still a virtue, for some of us, but that the age of Space Mass Transit, if three very rich passengers counts as public transportation, has finally arrived… Action Items: 1.) Search for two different sources related to 1990s science fiction and Babylon 5.

  • 'The Imagined Sounds of Outer Space' (Wierzbicki)
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Sydney eScholarship You are currently viewing this page at 60% zoom. The page is optimised for 100%: not all elements on the page may look as intended. The Imagined Sounds of Outer Space James Wierzbicki Readers who know that I often write about film music – and that my publications include an article on the use of the electronic instrument called the theremin in depicting alien “Others” in Hollywood films from the 1950s (Wierzbicki 2002), a monograph on the score for the 1956 film Forbidden Planet (Wierzbicki 2005), and a book chapter on music in The Twilight Zone (Wierzbicki 2012) – might well suspect that this essay will focus on the imagined sounds of outer space as realized in the soundtracks of science-fiction films and television. Those imagined sounds are indeed my primary concerns here, but I will frame my thoughts with considerations of the imagined sounds of space as realized in music alone. The core of the essay deals in turn with depictions both literary and cinematic of signals from space, with cinematic sounds that in one way or another are linked to the technology of space exploration, with imagined sounds associated with “heavenly bodies” that might be visited by Earth-based astronauts, and with sounds that represent travel in and through outer space. This last category of sounds is, I think, especially interesting, because at least some of its cinematic exemplars seem to share basic elements with the “space music” of various composers for whom writing for the cinema was perhaps one of the furthest things from their minds.
