1. Recently appeared on Star Trek
He was in Star Trek: DS9 "The Siege of AR-558"

Did a great job, until he got killed in the final assault.

2. Musician in "America" and "Barnes and Barnes"
"Horse with No Name" and "Fish Heads" ...quite a cultural legacy.

Hope he has a great day and many good things await him.

He's really a nice guy.

BTW, he prefers to be called "Bill" these days.

7. It was better than any Star Treks combined.
And re-watching it, I think it predicted all the things now happening in the US. :hi:

10. I'll have to wait a little
to buy the whole set on DVD, but I will. And I missed mostly of the last season when it was on TV. Clark = Bush. Homeland Security = Psi Corps. It all makes sense.

12. Actually, it's Homeland Security = Night Watch
Edited on Wed Feb-01-06 03:19 PM by Love Bug
Psi Cops are probably those men in dark suits no one is supposed to know about.

BTW -- I scored the 3rd season on DVD at the Goodwill last week for $15! Woo-hoo!

13. I agree,
but wasn't the Psi Corp in charge of Night Watch?

$15? Wow. Here they want $ 250 for the whole series. :cry:

11. Wordy, word, word Call Me!
B5 is SUPERIOR to Star Trek and I'm saying that as a ST fan starting with the original series.

And yes, it seems to have predicted what is going on now. I'm waitin' for the Shadows to show up any day!

14. I'm a Trekkie, too,
but I thought that B5 was way more well written and thought through. Of course, there was some stuff I didn't like and I saw why they had to bring in Bruce Boxleitner to score again ...
