Wheel Of Fire? My God, I had forgotten that completely. Was it really Wheel Of Fire? xD
You know, whenever I heard that term back in the day B5 was still on the air I couldn't help myself from thinking about 'Absolutely Fabulous' and the theme song...
'Wheels Of Fire... Rooooolling down the road... blahblahblahblahsomething Explode!".
My memory is great, although a tad short. :D Wait... there was some mention to this direction in the B5 Security material. I seem to remember that episodes of the old Earth 'teevee' show Absolutely Fabulous were banned because they were considered offensive by all sentient beings. Need to check on this.
Certain Old Calendar "TeeVee" programmes (Including The X-Files - considered "offensively truthful" by the Vree Race, and [i]Absolutely Fabulous[/i] - considered offensive by more than fifty-eight different species, but excluding Warner Bros. cartoons & Lumati educational films - considered wholesome and stimulating by every alien race (Especially the Lumati).

[B]On a side note, did the Vree ever explain the reason for all the abductions? (Save for having to defend themselves in court) :D

To my knowlege, no. I think that was thrown in for comedic value. :) (which it was DAMN funny)
sounds a little like the filmed material for $ierras ITF game for me *dreaming*
i don't think there are many other material that they can use... trhey never cut much fromthe episodes and the cuts exists mostly in scriptform and not on filmed material as far as i know...
I remember that the Season 1 set also mentioned extended footage, and some people noticed scenes going slightly longer in some episodes. I never noticed, myself, but I have no reason to doubt them.

If I'm not mistaken, JMS had a few more scenes in Sleeping In Light that were cut from the airing version.
Lol, I was scrolling up the topics rather than scrolling down through them (Yes, I'm odd, I know) and then I noticed the topic about the homepage (which I hadn't gotten to yet). So, erm, sorry about that.
Please don't hurt me...:(
PS. "fubar" is from "Saving Private Ryan" isn't it? I remember what it means but I shalln't post it here lol.

"FUBAR" is an old term. It was mentioned in [i]Saving Private Ryan[/i], but that's not where it originated.

Yeah, the term FUBAR was used in the movie Tango and Cash (Silvester Stallone and Kurt Russel) long before SPR, but I think it actually goes back to the military somewhere... kinda like those prackster terms of going out to the flight line and getting a bucket of Prop Wash, or over to the shop to get a Round Tuit... ;)

I've heard both being used, I think.
[B]By the way, is it F*cked up beyond ALL or ANY recognition?

"All" is what's usually used. Though either will work.
