I’ve been looking forward to this book even before the script books. After I saw one for Star Trek, I wondered about Babylon 5. This show just cries out to have a quote book with all it’s great speeches and quips. I love B5 quotes as more than a few threads on different boards will show.
To use a quote before the book comes out. :
…there are books, thousands of pages, about the power of one mind to change the Universe, but none said it as clearly as this.
I used the G’Kar quote from the opening of Lost Tales on a farewell card for a work friend who was leaving. I wish I had had this book then, so I didn’t have to keep backing up and replaying the audio – oh, who am I kidding. It gave me an excuse to listen to Andreas Katsulas over and over again.
I was so happy to see the book announced and I went and bought it right away. I do have several Babylon 5 Quotation web links in my favs, but having a book handy – especially one that has again introductions written by the Great Maker – is just way too tempting.
These Cafepress books will make me go broke some day. But it sure is nice to have the complete collection on the library cupboard …
The book is nice, but it didn’t meet my expectations. Maybe they are too high.
I know the script team loves B5, but it seems like it needed more of a fan’s touch. How the book didn’t start with the quote ” .. and so it begins” for example escapes me.
I realize there are legal reasons for no pictures (even black and white), but this is continues to be a let down with these books.
Although I have some criticisms the book is still a great resource, and an enjoyable book to skim through. I enjoyed having some conversational length quotes, rather than all one line blurbs. jms’ Intro and section comments are really great stuff.
It is a good representation of B5 lines, but I was hoping for a larger volume of quotes in the book. The layout had so much empty space on the pages that could have been filled with more quotes, it seems like a waste.
This book and the Chronology does not have an end date the way the actual scripts did, so save up, or suggest it as a gift for the holidays. it is still well worth the expense for any fan.
I with Gary on this one. While the concept of the book is great, there is too much empty space and by far not enough quotes. I am happy though because of the intros by JMS. Them and the quotes together make me not regret the purchase.
But I personally would not recommend it for anyone who already has the script books or/and a fast internet connection. There are some great sites out there that have quote collections and which are just as – or even more – complete as this book is.
I have tried to buy this book but it is no longer in print I cant even find it online anywhere. A great show would be to collect the funnier one liners or even ask listeners to send in their favorites :>- a list of websites with the one liners on the babylon podcast website would also be cool; just a thought
