RIP Title: Babylon5 Actor dies.... Post by: HaemishM on May 25, 2004, 11:41:22 AM I saw this yesterday and forgot to post it. I've enjoyed his work since I watched his run on "Days of our Lives" back in high school/college. Yeah, I watched a soap opera, but that was before the demon possession thing.
Shut up. Anyway, much love to Richard Biggs, he will be missed. Title: Babylon5 Actor dies....

I used to go down to the TV room in my dorm freshman year to watch 'Days of Our Lives'. It was me and about 10 hotties. Now tell me why I was there =P Title: Babylon5 Actor dies....

From high school, to the army, to college. The TV room filled with hotties was unique to college, but I certainly appreciated it. Title: Babylon5 Actor dies....

Title: Babylon5 Actor dies.... Post by: SirBruce on May 25, 2004, 08:34:43 PM I admit, I used to watch Days of Our Lives as well. In my defense, if you haven't seen the show, Days (at that time, anyway) was part action/intrique/spy thriller and part "romance" soap. Every other day they'd alternate with the character involved in the latest plot and they did some really wild stuff. I followed it all through most of the Phoenix/Kiriakis/Pawn/John Black/Roman Brady arc and it was pretty amazing. (Although later, they decided John Black wasn't really Roman Brady when they brought the original actor back. Never really heard what the final explanation was, but it did make me feel like all of that was wasted.) Anyway, all I'm saying is, the show had its good points, with some wild plots that went above and beyond your standard soap opera fair of blindings, amnesia, pregnancy, etc.
And, by the way, I found it was actually a good way to meet girls. Strike up a conversation about Days... if they watch, they're ecstatic to talk about it with someone. Bruce Title: Babylon5 Actor dies.... Post by: HaemishM on May 26, 2004, 07:36:41 AM I found the same thing about Days... great way to meet chicks. Not that they wanted to sleep with you after, but any in is a good in.
Not having watched a full episode of Days in like a decade, I do know that the original Roman is I think dead again, his wife was possessed by a demon of some sort and the action/intrigue bit seems to have turned to complete crazy-ass crap. There is/was supposedly some form of B5 reunion show/series in the works, hinted at by JMS. However, it's been months since he said he would be able to talk about it, and he still hasn't been able to talk about it. So who knows? Title: Babylon5 Actor dies....

I have five years of good memories from B5, and Crusade was entertaining for its six (?) episodes. If JMS needs cash have him set up a paypal link and just let B5 stay as it is. As an asside, did anyone else here use the Lumberg voice whenever they saw Gary Cole giving orders? "Yeah... I'm going to need you to launch all the fighters, okay? ...and if you could fire the main weapon, that'd be great... Title: Babylon5 Actor dies.... Post by: HaemishM on May 26, 2004, 09:15:54 AM I dug Crusade, but it was mostly because of Galen. The show never got the opportunity to develop anything, because TNT kept insisting on punch-up action sequences and messing with the format before finally just shitcanning it.
JMS doesn't need the money. Shit, I'm sure he's quite comfortable with the DVD sales, regular comics work and Jeremiah royalties. |
