How appropriate that Show #69 was a give-and-take with the fans!

As Summer would say, Yes, I went there.

Be seeing you,

Would that be a red eye or a blue one?

Thanks for having me on the show. Though I am from Denmark, I have lived in The Netherlands for almost 20 years. That is where I “found” B5. I checked with a friend in Denmark, and the show has never been on Danish TV. There they had to watch it on Swedish (?) or Gd forbid German TV (dubbed in German – ouch!) – and get it on DVD.

In the last 2 years time I have presented B5 to a good friend in Denmark, someone I have known for almost 40 years. She claimed to have a poor English language, and with no Danish subtitles on the DVDs I hesitated for some time to do it.
The first season exists in a version with Swedish subtitles (close to Danish, and she had lived there for a while), so we started with watching a selection from S1.
She was very enthusiastic and we have now watched the remaining 4 seasons with English subtitles as an aid, and then, of course some talk about the eps.

My friend is now as avid a B5 fan as I am. Neat for a friend who is approaching 70.

be seeing’ you

T’Jon… uh… yeah… Yeah! That’s it! Space it out! Exactly what I was thinking. I see I can’t sneak anything past the watchful eye of the Narn.

That’s OK…better to space everything out, yes?

T’Jon – that’s my bad. Sorry!! I’ll make sure it’s in the next new show, which will be a couple of weeks from now.

Not as such…I don’t really know how much I should or shouldn’t say
on this because I’ve been waiting for the official studio announcement
and this kind of precedes that…they haven’t told me *not* to comment
on it, but they haven’t told me that I could, either…so with luck I
can say more in a few days.

There’s another little surprise in the imdb listing, btw….

Just wanted to know…did “Kooking with Kosh” make the cut? I didn’t see it in the show notes, and I wanted to make sure it actually made it through when I sent it!

Hey, guys. HBO has made the first episode of “John from Cincinnati” available online.
http://www.hbo.com/johnfromcincinnati/video/index.html

I think its a must-watch show for any B5 fan! I mean, the first line spoken is “The End is Near”. John is a stranger who appears from the thin air, his last name is Monad, which means “The One”, and yes, he does ask our favorite “What do you want?” question a couple of times. Strange, cryptic words are spoken and strange things happen. See for yourself.
