He was awesome. To keep a straight face with some of his lines.... I just loved the pairings they did. G'Kar/Londo Vir/Lenier. They played off each other like no other characters I've seen. Obviously I thought Marcus' humour was great, but his piece was a tad short. Should have had him in longer. Pretty good that they are doing more, but I'm not sure how well it will work, never thought much of Lochley's character, lacked depth. Still, I will watch and enjoy. @Dread Wench L’TUAE

I know! The entire series was great, even if the last season was a little disconnected. I have all the seasons on DVD, and the movies they made. Marcus was awesome, but my two other favorites were Lenier and G'kar. It's so sad that Andreas Katsulas died. He was a great actor. Did you know they're making induvidual episodes now with the remaining characters? They've filmed some already. @ Alchemist- you have a membari fighting staff??!!! Where can I get one?! @Thumper Rampant- you don't know what you're talking about. Go to hell. Don’t worry Teddy, I love that kind of stuff.

Corpus Callosum Thank you! ;) Out of interest, they know that when an SMB (super-massive black hole) reaches a certain mass it 'belches' and blasts a lot of matter and energy away from itself. Do you also think that this may happen at various stages of growth of a black hole (or if maybe the hole was bigger to begin with) and produce our verse? Or maybe two Hyper-SMBs could collide and cause the same effect. . For anyone not sure, black holes aren't holes. One the mass of the sun would be a couple of km in diameter. Ones roaming* the galaxy are in the 10s of km (10-15x sun masses), and the ones at the galactic cores can be billions of times the mass of our sun (If I remember up to 200,000km diameters, small compared with the galaxy, just looks big). Black holes are not infinitely small in size. . As black holes accrete (absorb, opposite of excrete) mass they emit radiation (energy/photons) from the poles. This is most commonly noticed by pulsars (okay, neutron stars but meh!, and quasars - I think - very distant AGNs/SMB emitting radiation). . Sorry, but I figure the universe probably fascinates some of you almost ;) as much as me. *Don't start. @Fr. Corpus Callosum
