I just heard from some of my old Babylon 5 geek friends from college...

This has been quite a week for deaths.

Thank you for letting us know.

They say these things happen in threes. Butler and Katsulas make two, so expect one more death in the world of sci-fi...

There are several of Don Knotts' films that could be classified as (light) science fiction.

Dr. Franklin died? I didn't know that. He must've been quite young. Andreas Katsulas was a fine actor, too. To be so expressive under all that latex is a real gift. This has been a bad month or so. [Frown]

I heard this two weeks ago on another board, and didn't think to post it here. Ah well, I'll post the two best pieces here from that thread:

JMS's Farewell

And a fitting G'Kar quote (as only Andreas Katsulas could deliver):

quote:
"I believe that when we leave a place a part of it goes with us and part of us remains. Go anywhere in these halls, when it is quiet and just listen. After a while you will hear the echoes of all of our conversations, every thought and word we've exchanged. Long after we are gone, our voices will linger in these walls for as long as this place remains. But I will admit that the part of me that going will very much miss the part of you that is staying."

A few of my favorites. [Frown]

G'Kar as I think of it was my favorite "Churchill type" of character, though my favorite one overal was Londo, then G'Kar, then Sheridan.

What do you mean by "Churchill type"?

The relationship between G'Kar and Londo was one of my very favorite parts of the entire series.

I liked Londo best. But G'kar was pretty cool.

But ya. I hate paramount for almost killing Babylon 5 and for killing Crusades the Bab5 spinoff.

And now it will never come to pass [Frown]

Paramount probably DOES suck, but they didn't give Katsulas lung cancer; from JMS's post, it sounds like Katsulas did that himself. [Frown]

And how are we supposed to have a Bab5 movie when the cast keeps dying? Firefly got a movie, Bab5 needs one soon.
