D. had to hug me because I was tearing up. And, on strictly selfish grounds, I feel like there will never be a B5 movie now. Sure, hopes were always very slim, but this seems to grind them to none, because I just don't feel like his role can be recast. If there ever is one, it won't be in the time frame of the series. We might see small cameos from the original players if it's set a decade or so after the show's events, but they won't be the main actors.

streamweaver, is it so much to ask to see the shows that I like be successful? Is it so much to ask to have a sci-fi related show see the longevity of shows like Seventh Heaven and ER? Is it wrong to want to see our talented writers do well, and to see some of our actors get the recognition they deserve?

Andreas was no hack: he was a very talented Method actor who had done Shakespeare all over Europe and who truly cared about his craft. It just seems so unfair that more people will remember Jessica Simpson than remember him. Yes, we the sci-fi community will remember, but ... it just bugs me.

I know you know all of the above, and I know I'm preaching to the choir ... I guess I just needed to share a little.
