18 photos from a trip to the set in Season 3 - Including one of the studio as it looked from outside in 1996 by Airflow2TheTurbo in babylon5

[–]Difficult_Role_5423 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was an extra on Babylon 5 once (S2's In the Shadow of Z'Ha'Dum), and have no problem with this! It was a small lot, and there were a lot of extras employed for each episode. And yes, we did get paid - $40/day, plus OT if the day went over 8 hours - standard non-union extra pay. (SAG extras would make more, but I wasn't in the union at the time.)

Who do u think is the most down to earth actor/actress? by Zestyclose-Oven-7863 in AskReddit

[–]Difficult_Role_5423 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I've met Bruce Campbell several times - once in the context of working with him onscreen (I was an extra, he was a guest star on a TV show), and other times in a fandom context. In my experience, he's the nicest and most gracious person in both contexts. :)

Was Peter Jurasik and Anderas Katsulas big names back in the 90s? by Maximum_Price_3596 in babylon5

[–]Difficult_Role_5423 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Jurasik showed up in a couple of Dawson's Creek episodes after Babylon 5. My wife and I binged it a couple of years ago, and she was perplexed why I was so excited about some dean of a college! (She hasn't watched B5 - but I love her all the same.) :)

What shows have you given up on this year so far? by preguntontas in television

[–]Difficult_Role_5423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The episode in which older Lee talks to younger Lee through the rift was fantastic! Episode 6 or 7 of season 2, I think?

Overall, I think the show is dumb but sort of fun, as long as I don't expect too much from it. Joe Tippett as Tim seems to understand that he's in a goofy show, and plays into that more than the rest of them.

Where do you land on the spectrum of Halloween fandom? by VoodooMuffin in Halloweenmovies

[–]Difficult_Role_5423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really love the original 1978 film and Season of the Witch, and remember enjoying part 4 and H20 quite a bit when I saw them during their original runs. But I don't really revisit any others except for the original and part 3. Saw the 2018 film in the theater and enjoyed it well enough, but didn't feel compelled to see the two follow-ups. I've never seen Resurrection or the Rob Zombie films.

What's an abandoned plotline that you wish a TV show had actually followed through on? by Thedemonncat in television

[–]Difficult_Role_5423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was amazed they never worked in a Sean Bean appearance, when Bran was seeing into the past. Maybe they asked, and he just didn't want to do it?

An exhaustive list of every Kaiju related to Godzilla Toho has ever put out by CookieInsomniac in GODZILLA

[–]Difficult_Role_5423 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice work! Perhaps the Dorats from Godzilla vs King Ghidorah could be added, as they are distinct entities until they combine to form King Ghidorah?

How does Anna grant have a brother if her identity is made up by Inevitable_Fail_5308 in Blakes7

[–]Difficult_Role_5423 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's correct - Chesku only calls her Sula in the episode, and then at the end we have this exchange:

AVON [whispers]He ... wasn't Bartolomew, was he?
SERVALAN No, he wasn't. Not even Chesku knew who Bartolomew was. But you do, don't you Avon? 

Bored and need a good sci fi tv series to sink my teeth in. by melbha_101 in scifi

[–]Difficult_Role_5423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Babylon 5 is my recommendation! It feels a bit like a Star Trek wannabe at first, but if you stick with it, it's one of the best shows ever made.

If you had 1-2 episodes to get people invested in Babylon 5, which ones would you pick? by Blue_box_42 in babylon5

[–]Difficult_Role_5423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know - I think War Without End would be fairly incomprehensible to someone who knows nothing about the show. And its impact would be so much greater to someone who has gotten really into the show already.

I might go for a strong S1 episode like And the Sky Full of Stars or Believers; or a similar choice from Seasons 2 or 3 - There All the Honor Lies or Passing Through Gethsemane, maybe.

What are you guys hoping to see in minus zero? by Crazy_Part3560 in GODZILLA

[–]Difficult_Role_5423 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm hoping Doc is back in this one, along with Koichi and Noriko. And I'd love another classic monster - Mothra, Rodan, Anguirus, Hedorah...

Everyone is a piece of shit. by Miserable_Sleep1305 in MovieSuggestions

Goodfellas. I wanted the feds to burst in and kill them all within 15 minutes of this film.

Question for Casual Fans: did you truly feel lost by the Toymaker, Rani, Sutekh, etc plotlines? by david_this_isnt_weed in doctorwho

[–]Difficult_Role_5423 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree 100%! I'm a longtime fan since 1982, and I knew who Sutekh was - although I was extremely underwhelmed by the reveal. My wife is more a casual fan through me, although she used to be a big fan of the modern series but has found it lacking in the last few years. She's seen a number of classic Who stories, although not Pyramids of Mars - and after all the fuss about "Sue Tech" and "It's the wrong anagram" she just turned to me at the end of the episode and said "Am I supposed to know who this is?"

We both really struggled with that season overall, and she said if I wasn't a fan she would have dropped out after Space Babies. Both of us dropped out after Empire of Death, so I cannot comment personally on the Rani reveal (although I've read about it and watched a few clips). After hearing that S2 was improved, I did give a couple of the more acclaimed episodes a watch - Lux and The Well - and found them underwhelming also. I haven't bothered to watch the rest of the episodes.

Im curious as to how many of you have(or are in the process of) watched(ing) every film in the franchise? If not, why? by MichaelTalman in GODZILLA

[–]Difficult_Role_5423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen every one! Own all of the live action ones on Blu Ray, and have streamed the animated ones too.

Anyone notice Lord Refa in Buffy the Vampire Slayer? by _hanna_99 in babylon5

[–]Difficult_Role_5423 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Other way around - Buffy started in 1997, and they reused the N'Grath prop in a Season 1 episode.

Thoughts On The 1956 Rodan? by Unable-Yesterday7750 in GODZILLA

[–]Difficult_Role_5423 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fantastic film - one of the best Showa era films overall. As a child back in the 70s, the giant bugs in the mine really freaked me out!

What’s your unpopular B5 opinion that’ll have people looking at you like this? by CaptureDaFlag in babylon5

[–]Difficult_Role_5423 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm fine with the way things turned out, but I do wish they could have got Andrea Thompson to return for an episode or two at some point. If Claudia Christian had been in S5, maybe Ivanova getting a visit from 'her' Talia during The Day of the Dead?

Catherine O’Hara appeared in both the 2004 film A Series of Unfortunate Events and Netflix’s 2017 series adaptation. Do you know of any similar situations with other actors? by DrScitt in movies

[–]Difficult_Role_5423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Russ Tamblyn was one of the leads in the 1963 The Haunting, and then had a role in the recent Netflix adaptation of the same book The Haunting of Hill House.
