We are considering ark building here. I think we’ve had one day of sunshine in over a week. We are sogged out! How’s the weather where you are? We’re in Season 3 right now - b5_revisited


As you all know, Mira Furlan passed beyond the rim on January 20, 2021. Here are a few tribute things made for her.


This was made by Branislav Cimeša - the words are hers from her own page posted after she was gone.


This video was made John Hudgens - He was hired by Joe Straczynski to create official "Babylon 5" music videos for him to use at science fiction conventions, and later to promote the show to networks.

Bio of the week:I decided to leave this one up another two weeks.
Instead of a bio, I am going to post what JMS said about her on his Twitter and Facebook feeds:
It is a night of great sadness, for our friend and comrade has gone down the road where we cannot reach her. But as with all things, we will catch up with her in time, and I believe she will have many stories to tell us, and many new roles to share with the universe.

Bio of the week: Julie Caitlin Brown



Julie Caitlin Brown was Na’toth and a wonderful one at that. Julie was born in California. She as two sons. She is an actress and a talent agent. She was delightful Na’toth but left after one Season due to the heavy costuming. She also appeared as a lawyer in the Season 2 episode, There All the Honor Lies. I think my favorite of her appearances was Deathwalker.

Bio of the week: Stephen Furst
Those of us of a certain age will always remember Stephen Furst from National Lampoon’s Animal House. That one came out the year I started college, too. Toga parties were a thing! I also remember him on St. Elsewhere. But of course, my favorite role was Vir Cotto, long suffering aid to Londo Mollari.
He was much beloved by fans and I read that his kidney transplant was from a B5 fan… He died in 2017 from complications of diabetes. He was survived by his wife of over 40 years and his two sons.

Bio of the week: Bill Mumy
Bill Mumy’s career started at the age of 6 and he’s never stopped. He was born and raised in California and has appeared in over 400 TV episodes. He’s probably best known as Will Robinson on Lost in Space. That’s certainly where I remember him from. He was Lennier on Babylon 5, of course, and has done many other roles. Bill is also a musician and singer and still is quite active in music. He and Angela Cartwright wrote a book about their time on Lost in Space in 2015 and you can still buy it. I follow Bill and Face book and find him quite charming. He has a granddaughter named Presley Jane Mumy and posts losts of pics of her. He also has a website: http://www.billmumy.com

Bio of the week: Jerry Doyle - Jerry Doyle was Security Chief Michael Garibaldi and the man was as complicated in many ways as the character. He was a jet pilot and stockbroker before deciding in 1991 to move to California and become an actor. He was also on the show Moonlighting before B5. After B5, Jerry tried his hand at politics and was a well-known conservative radio personality. He wrote a book in 2010 called Have You seen My Country: America’s Wakeup Call. In 2016, Jerry died at 60 from natural causes brought on by chronic alcoholism.
