General Hague is doing Deep Space nine, it seems he was double booked by his agent.., Nothing could be done so you will have to do with ME Sir.

So Say We All! Edit: Wrong franchise

I love when Shari Shattuck messes up and says "Silver star for valour in the minibar wars" Scheridan: " ... minibar wars???" XD kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nNqqmsaXrJ3ZeHk.html

Followed closely by Boxleitner's "Medlab this is Sinclair"

That got me searching YT and I got say thanks, I never knew that was even a thing. Said blooper - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/namdo6eXrbPSmnU.html

And especially THAT Vorlon.

The vorlon are a deeply humorous people. It's the damn translators.

if Vorlons had arms that one would've been facepalming LOL 😛

@@josephamendolea3431 he could have outside the suit. After all Kosh's "hand" got a poison tab slapped on it, and he clearly uses them again to reach out and save John when he jumped from the shuttle about to explode

i think they should have added that "fully disappointed headshake" somewhere!

I'd love to see this. 🤣🤪

I was going to ASK! Was that Straczynski (the creator/writer) on the crash cart in the last clip? :) He had such a singular vision for this show. And it's amazing that since the story was 'serialized' and intended to run at least 4 seasons, that he made sure to have backup plans in mind for all of the major characters, so in case an actor left it wouldn't completely derail the show. And luckily JMS DID have that forethought because as we all know, various original actors ended up needing to be altered and/or replaced over the run...

@@StreetPreacherr Yes, indeed! If you read his book _Becoming Superman_ you'll really understand why they likely did that joke. JMS is a writing FIEND. To this day, he writes _constantly._

Was that Stephen Furst hollering about the humanity?

@@StreetPreacherr yeah the acting and writing was top notch....sometimes wonder if there was a curse associated with it though as a lot of the people who acted on that show wound up dying....I think about the only ones left are Bruce Boxleitner, Bill Mumy, Claudia Christian (I think), and Peter Jurasik and a few others :(

Definitely a nice touch.

And the scene it was from was one of the funniest ones IMHO GKar refusing to work together and willing to die happy if he just got to watch Londo die.

"We're jumping get ready" and the cast jokingly cat-calling LOL!

😊

Don't think I've seen this before. Knowing it was Doug Netter et al, makes it all... *chef's kiss*

Oh, that had everyone on set in tears. XD

I miss commentaries too, and all the behind-the-scenes stuff.

I remember first time I sat down to listen to the cast commentary, I was already laughing. because actor Bruce Boxleitner introduced himself. And he said it in a way, that to me at the time, sounded like a superhero introducing himself. I had this messed-up mental image of BB wearing long-johns with a BB and a lightening bolt, posing in front of a mirror going, "This is Bruce Boxleitner!"

@@nervosuss I follow a few movie and tv channels. Although they do short videos, Pierce Film Productions take a look at special effects and model work, they come at it from a personal perspective and not just a technical one.

The commentary on the series 2 DVD set with Bruce Boxleitner, Claudia Christian and Jerry Doyle cracked me up so much, especially the bit where they're talking about how it would have been a nightmare if you were strapped into the Starfury cockpit prop and the crew had to evacuate and left you there and Clauda just goes "that happened to meeeeeeeeee" and they basically ignore her until she says it a second time.

I think part of it was that there weren't really any divas - these were all working actors, in the trenches, getting shit done and earning their pay. There's solidarity there. In the Thirdspace commentary there's a bit where they talk about being typecast and the roles they were trying to get post-B5.

Isn't it great when a sci-fi show gets the Significant Other Seal of Approval? I love sci-fi that is not only engaging, but also has such a broad appeal. I'm sure that having fem characters that are not simple eye candy and have an actual important/pivotal role helps significantly. Hmmm... Imagine that. Who'd a thunk it. 😉

@@CybershamanX haha! So true. Well said.

Yeah, once you manage to 'overlook/ignore/appreciate' the early CGI, this is one of the best written Sci-Fi shows to be produced; right up there with Battlestar Galactica, TNG & DS9! It's a bit unfortunate that they couldn't afford to use a higher quality process for the SFX, but at least they tried to embrace the benefits of CGI, which allowed them to stage 'bigger' encounters since they didn't need to film real models. So the space stuff might not have looked as good or held up as well as Star Trek from the same period, but I don't think any of the other shows showed space battles with NEARLY the same scale. And without the option of using CGI to keep the budget down, I don't think this show would have even been produced!

@@StreetPreacherr Have you seen the remastered episodes on Amazon Prime (or, a-hem, "other means" 😉)? I'm not sure what they did, but they cleaned up the FX nicely. Both Trek and B5 used very state of the art CGI at the time (both used modded Lightwave 3D programs), but B5's visual style is indeed very different than contemporary Trek's.

@@CybershamanX Yes I watched the most recent 'remaster' on HBO MAX. And they made it look as good as possible, but cleaner/higher resolution images will never be able to improve the flat textures, limited asset detail or 'basic' lighting. The only way to REALLY improve the SFX would be to replace all of the CGI with new models & modern rendering techniques. And I don't think anybody is willing to invest the funds to completely redo everything... But like I said, the story is so enthralling that it's easy to just accept the primitive CGI.

it really is a shame the broader fandom didnt get a chance to get to know Jeffrey Willerth, the man inside all Vorlon costumes, and fer multiple years the beau of Pat Tallman. THey had a website called Koch Club together.

When auditioning for the role, he had on his "acting" CV - "Harlem Dance Company". 🤣

That's nuts. He was easily the best character on the show and had one of the best character development arcs outside of Londo and G'kar.

Remember that before his huge successes, Harrison Ford was a friggin carpenter and bit-player. Just because you're classically trained doesn't mean you'll be any good.

@@StockportJambo He also when asked what part he was auditioning for answered with "the one you're going to give me". And the producers looked at each and said "Garibaldi" .

Garibaldi is pretty much Jerry Doyle thrown into incredible mad situations. (shrug).

A pilot for a new version is in the works. JMS is writing it now. A new series should follow.

Thats supose to be prussian? im german and that Sounds nothing like english with a german accent

@@chheinrich8486 personally it reminded me more of an accent common in an island near the equator on Centauri prime. I wouldn't be surprised if he spent a few months there perfecting his accent.

Peter always said that he "created" the accent to sound _vaguely_ mid-European, and because nobody had ever heard a Centauri accent, nobody could say "hey! that's a lousy Centauri accent!"

​@@caddelworthis justbmevir Jerry doyle kind lok and soubd like discount Bruce Willis nk offense to Jerry

Interestingly, the technology existed back in the late 1960s- In Gerry Anderson's first live production "UFO" they used a system to sync up the scan rate of the TV screens with the cine cameras as a side bonus of linking all the film cameras to TV monitors in the production staff's office. This was originally a cost-cutting measure to save on extra time developing film for the "Daily rushes". Then again, Ron Thornton was a graduate of Anderson's productions IIRC.

@@davidstuckey9289 They did the same for the Space:1999 Commlocks.

one of the bloopers that makes me appreciate that aspect of the show is when sheridan is saying that morden should be dead, and right after he says that, morden pretends to have a heart attack from the other side of the monitor

And Jerry became claustrophic, Bruce threw up, and Tracy would never let them forget about that part whenever they bragged :) what a crew

RIP...Richard Biggs was way too young when he died....only 46 😞

@Jordan McKellar - not sure if you knew but when B5 storyline was being shopped around, it is rumoured that Paramount had passed on B5 and took a lot of the elements from it to make DS9. Both shows obviously came into their own with very different storylines as the shows progressed but in the beginning there were a lot of similiarities that I believe lawsuits were filed.

@@The_Zilli I don't think most working on DS9 knew anything about B5, at least to start with. JMS recalled in his autobiography how his then wife was working at Paramount at the time. There was a meeting with writers, producers etc, where the high ups came in with the idea of DS9 and she excused herself because she recognised the idea.

JMS tells of a time when they do a shot where the transport tube opens to reveal Garibaldi, and Doyle is stood there with his trousers down. And Doyle recounts how, when they were shooting the dream sequence where he has a dove on his shoulder, he made it look like he'd crushed the dove. The animal wrangler was *not* amused.

"We're not some Deep Space franchise! This place means something!"

And in English too, not Croatian.

@@StockportJambo From the perspective of someone who's first language isn't English either: when I'm talking in English I almost always automatically swear in English. I would guess this is rather common, I've been to university with a lot of other people who were not native English speakers but swearing in your native tongue was relatively uncommon 🤔 I'd guess once you're used to speaking a language you naturally stay in it and don't accidentally slip back. If you're newer to it that's different, if I'm speaking Spanish for example and mess up I'd slip back into English to swear (but not into my native German). This got off track but I hope it was interesting :)

@@mayra3277 Interesting. I've read that we have half a dozen "slots" in our brains that we automatically go to when swearing, so it's involuntary at the time. Like hitting your thumb with a hammer by accident... the noises you make are primal. You can train yourself to say different things at times like that, but it still comes from those involuntary slots. So when Mira swore, I expected her to go straight to that - which would be what she was brought up with. But yes, she was probably just in English mode at that point.

@@StockportJambo Next time I accidentally hit my thumb with a hammer I'll pay attention to that! :D I need to find out more about these slots, that's really intriguing. But I'd guess the primal sounds you'd make when you're in pain are also rather similar across languages? (I wonder what happens if you pass out and wake up - do you fall into your native language, or the one you were using just before you passed out?) And yeah, after a few years English probably took over. If most of your life plays out in one language you'll start thinking and dreaming in it even if it's not your first, so that probably goes for swearing too.

Heh....I like how Bruce remains in character during the outtake where he messes up his line offering to take on the Roanoke's personnel and is like "run around let's do it again...HURRY UP THERE'S A WAR GOIN' ON!!" 🤣

Yeah those original blooper reels were made for the christmas break and season wrap parties by the crew, so they used a lot of popular songs, they weren't intended for mass release.

They regularly get deleted off KZfaq, but they're available right now if you search for "B5 Party Reel". Just rewatched all of them after the retrospective 😀

My favorite is Jerry Doyle recounting how the confrontation with Ulkesh, which was guaranteed to end badly, was exactly what it was like asking Doug Netter for a raise or better perks. _(gasping for air)_ "All I wanted was more toilet paper for my trailer!"

And you can hear it rolling and watch Bruce tracking it as it escapes.

Wasn't that the time stabilizer? I guess he's adrift now :P

yes....needed more Kosh (or Ulkesh) bloopers and outtakes 😂
