This might not be a bad thing as long as JMS doesn't insist on writing everything himself.

Otherwise it and everthing else will go "straight to Hell". Or come "straight from Hell".
Or generally be Hellish.
Still - I hoping for more of Tracy Scoggins. Because as sad as it sounds I thought she was pretty good looking.
But thats just me.

Yeah, sure she's all eye candy. That's the problem with her. She looks real good, but couldn't act her way out of a 7 11. If you want to go for good looks also go with ability.Originally posted by JonA

AFAIC, Tracy Scoggin is a better actress than Pamela Anderson.
Then again, I'm just a dirty old man, having seen her in Dynasty ... or was it the Colby?
Anyhoo, just some random thoughts...

Well, she had the necessary gravitas when it was revealed that Lockley (sp?) was an alcoholic.Originally posted by Phantom

As for the va-va-va-voom factor, that's certainly there and she's aware of it. Remember the episode when someone ordered a love-slave simulacrum of Lockley ? There was actually a publicity still for that ep with Scoggins wearing the lingerie. . . and I have an autographed copy of it.

Just out of curiosity, but what's wrong with JMS's writing? AFAIC, he's a good writer when B5 was on her syndicated run, but everything went downhill when he moved from syndication to a cable network and the "suits" started to inject their suggestions.
Anyhoo, just some random thoughts...

Um...all the good stuff was JMS and his wife writing it. Season 2-5. 1 was the crappy season and had a bunch of guys writing the eps.
"War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

But, then again I think S5 was the worse season in the series, and was nothing more then a mass illusion.AFAIC the series ended with S4.

Season five was just tacked on after TNT started the B5 series on there network.

Much closure was done in season 4, when it looked very much like there would be no season 5. What happens in season 5 isn't an afterthought; that was stuff JMS was planning to cover, but had to cut to finish the existing storylines. However, because of the way things unfolded, season 5 has a much more partitioned feel to it.
Saying that Scoggins is a better actor than Pamela Anderson is damning her with faint praise, IMO. I think she did an adequate job, not spectacular, but definitely watchable, especially when combined with the eye candy.

BTW, although I got mine at a convention, I just found that you can get an autographed copy of that still at Tracy Scoggins official web site. There's a pic if you want to see it. (And, trust me, you do want to see it.Originally posted by ME

Tracy Scoggins is merely the final corner of the "B5 Square of Utter & Perfect Babeness" formed by her, Marjorie Monaghan, Patricia Tallman and Claudia Christian. Accept no substitutes.

I am shocked! Now what is wrong with Tamlyn Tomita, who appeared in the very first B5 episode, which was actually the pilot movie? How dare you forget her?
And what about Delenn herself, Mira Furlan? And blonde-haired Andrea Thompson (who went from Psi-Corp to Blue to news anchor)? Did you also forget the sexy Narn played by Julie Caitlin Brown?
Anyhoo, just some random thoughts...
