Total longshot here but- I am asking if anyone might know if there is a dialoge/sfx free version of Stewart Copland's score for the original cut of The Gathering out there anywhere, be that a physical release or somewhere online
Wow. I have never posted anything thats gotten that much of a responce. Figured I'd give a bit of a follow up to that post-
I gained an interest in the show mainly through learning about the history behind it and just how ahead of its time and influential of a show it is. Thus far I've really enjoyed it. Even the weaker episodes all had something interesting or well written going on (I seriously don't see the hate for TKO), and the great episodes are really good.
Season 2 kept the momentum going, the feud between the Narns and Centari has been the definite highlight. The loss of Sinclair really sucks, especially knowing the irl circumstances behind it. But on the bright side, Sheridan has been great addition to the cast and they've done a fantastic job making him not just Sinclair MK.2.
In terms of gripes, its really just down to Na'toth being absent for 90% of the season and my finding Warren Keffer to be uninteresting. But beyond that- great stuff. And season 3 has been even better thus far.
Babylon 5 is hands down one of the best pieces of Sci-fi television I have seen.
And I've only just finished the second season.
…And again in the season one Babylon 5 episode, “Infection”:
“You and the rest, you forgot the first rule of the fanatic: when you become obsessed with the enemy, you become the enemy!”
That JMS repeated himself virtually verbatim goes to show that this is a message he felt very strongly about (and rightfully so)!
That video of Alex Hirsch reading S&P notes for Gravity Falls conveys a few things to me:
1) the U.S. entertainment industry (especially animation) is run by older conservative types who make up offensive terms and get really mad about them.
2) the people who run Disney would be the first to fall in line with a fascist regime.
3) most of the media we consume is tailor-made and watered-down to appeal to the tastes of older, deeply religious conservative audiences.
4) conservatism, not the left, is and always has been the biggest voice of censorship in American culture.
