Interesting!

There's two that I can't identify - here's my guesses, left to right:
Click to reveal..
Billy Mumy, Stephen Furst, Patricia Tallman, Mira Furlan, Claudia Christian, Don't Know, Don't know, Jeff Conaway (looking pretty bad, unfortunately)

Edit, I'm guessing the blonde woman is Andrea Thompson, and I looked up the brunette, and realize why I didn't recognize her - she was always in Narn makeup - Julie Caitlin Brown

The two you didn't get were Andrea Thompson (Talia Winters) and Julie Caitlin Brown (N'Toth).

Ah, so it is Stephen Furst, that would have been my guess but it honestly doesn't look like him except for his weight.

Its so hard for me to believe that both Pat Tallman and Mira Furlan are over 50 now. They look great.

Didn't know Pat Tallman was over 50...even more remarkable considering she's still does work as a stuntwoman among her other acting and stage work. That can't be easy on your body. Very impressive!

Jeff Conaway on the other hand looks like he's been hit by a truck...

Guys! The only one you need to view is obviously CLAUDIA CHRISTIAN! CLAUDIA!

I have a great picture from her, signed in person, "with love." From when she was in a small play in California. But couldn't get "I'll have your babies."

No I didn't take it. One of my friends took it at a recent convention in California.

Claudia looks GREAT! Poor poor season 5...
Mira looks awesome, great smile on her. Patricia's not bad.
Looks like Stephen's having diabetes trouble again. That guy had a transformation during the show didn't he? Jeff Conway's had a rough time too.
The tall lady was Na Toth or something like that? Damn good looking lady out of make up. LOL
No Bruce, no Jerry Doyle. Can't miss Billy Mumy. LOL
Who is the blonde? Doesn't look skeletal enough for Andrea Thompson, but maybe the light and calories have been generous?

Correct, Julie Caitlin Brown played the Narn N'Toth and the blonde you see is indeed Andrea Thompson.

Jeff Conaway has severe substance abuse problems, which might explain why he looks like a wreck.

Yeah, he was on some reality show for celebs wanting to detox. Just the commercials made me cringe listening to him. Pull through it for the Chief! If he can do it so can you!

Recognised all of them, apart from the lady to the left of Jeff Conway. Speaking of Jeff Conaway - it saddens me to look at him.

All ladies still look great smile

They were not fond of each other. I don't think there was a full blown incident but I know for a fact they were not buddies.

Yeah, I've heard a similar thing existed between Jerry Doyle and Michael O'Hare.

Michael was more of a traditional, stage actor who didn't like Jerry's "out of the blue I'm an actor" approach.

In my opinion Michael O'Hare was simply miscast from the beginning. This is not a criticism against his acting ability but simply that in my opinion, he was the wrong actor for the role on B5.

I've mentioned before that I've been watching this with my girlfriend, and we're about 1/4 of the way into season 4, and she was so glad they replaced Michael O'Hare. She like his performance a lot better when he was in the series later on Minbar, but she didn't think he was the right guy for the commander.

Ah yes, by Valen's name! A Minbari not born of Minbari...

On the record, jms always stated that Sinclair was supposed to leave the station.

Off the record, the general consensus is that it was a business decision. WB execs felt he (Michael O'Hare) wasn't a strong (enough) lead.

I doubt anyone will ever get that out of jms' mouth, though.

I know that JMS and O'Hare got along though. JMS has specifically stated that he would have no problem working with O'Hare again in the future if that opportunity would arise. I personally have nothing against O'Hare. I thought he did a very good job in the "War Without End" 2 part episode and the character of Sinclair/Valen was a fascinating one. It's just that I dont think O'Hare as an actor was strong enough to be the lead on the show.

Ditto.
Just right for Valen, but I wish they had taken a different route to get him there. Of course part of the story was the confusion over why he was selected, but still. Would have been better to have him as an EA ambassador and someone else to fill the 1 season captain slot. They could've even killed off the captain (or two?) early on that way for more of the conflict they had at the start of season 2. Boxleitner was just right for coming in at season 2 though, then incorporate him into ambassador and B5 CO.

True on both instances.

Well, if we're going to go technical (btw, the fact that I'm still a B5 nerd 11 years AFTER the series ended is amazing to me), its a 3 part episode:

Season 1, Ep. 20 - Babylon Squared
Season 3, Ep. 16 - War Without End, Part I
Season 3, Ep. 17 - War Without End, Part II

This is true, but I think most consider WWE just a 2 hr single ep.
