: : Hi folks.
: : Forgot to post last weeks update - sorry. My mind is not functioning as well as it should these days!
: : Last week's episode was "Meditations on the Abyss" and yesterday's was "Darkness Ascending". It's great to see Vir and Lennier again, two very good characters who I don't think you see enough of these days.
: : For those in the USA who weren't amused about the delay for the final 5 episodes, unconfirmed rumours are that Channel 4 in the UK may delay the episodes here so they are shown at the same time in both countries. As I say, Channel 4 hasn't confirmed this, as far as I know, but as soon as I hear anything I'll post it on the Forum. Or, if anyone hears before me, please post me a note.
: : Thanks.
: : Kaye
: Oh Kaye!
: Well! If this doesn't beat all! Here we were smug that we were getting B5 and you weren't; then we were unhappy that we weren't getting it and YOU were; now, they want to make us BOTH suffer just to even up!
: My guess is that it is probably a JMS whim that this occur...so that the ending comes as a surprise to us all...no spoilers for anyone!
: Thanks for letting us know Kaye!
: Jennie
Hey, Jennie.
According to UK forums, this is just a rumour which has not been confirmed, although a UK magazine has published that the last episodes WILL be shown on schedule. Channel 4 cannot confirm any tv schedules till at least 2 weeks before they are due to be shown.
So, hopefully everything will go ahead and we'll still get them without a delay.
Kaye :)
(much happier!)
