Well B5 was made a long time ago, in the last century, and he was no spring chicken then.

Was walking up The Bridges in Edinburgh a few years back not paying too much attention to the world when an American stopped me and asked directions to a nearby hotel. I did the usual pointing and waving hands type directions then turned back to focus on the guy to make sure he'd understood my directions and was gobsmacked to find myself talking to Jerry Doyle. Despite my best intentions I then turned into the sort of incoherent, rambling, star struck fan I swore I'd never be. He was really great and spent a few minutes talking about sci-fi in general and Bab5 in particular before sauntering off to his hotel.

Being equally suave and sophisticated ... I walked into a rubbish bin and would have gone nose first into the pavement if a lady hadn't grabbed me by the arm.  =) :-[ :-[ :-[

RIP Garibaldi. May there be ample supplies of bagna cauda wherever atheists go (I am not disinterested in this wish, mind you).

Finest TV sci-fi series to date for me, pipping Firefly to the post by the smallest of margins.

First saw him in the movies in Blazing Saddles and then Young Frankenstein - brilliant!

Sad news.   :(
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
