Daniels just gets confused about which disguises to use for which time periods.

Taking inventory of the suitcase I packed for an overnight trip

You get me closer to God

One long extended scream

It continued through the mid 70s.

It looks like there is an official 1080p Blu-ray. Is the fandom version better, or is it just that it came first?

Just try and give the exiting actors and resulting plot hiccups a little mercy

Sinclair > Sheridan

Though I get that the actor had mental health issues and decided he would rather quit entirely than stall production and possibly lead to the show's premature cancellation.

An account created three months ago, named after a Babylon 5 character, and your very first comment is under this post about Babylon 5. Checks out.

It does share a lot of similarities to the music video for the single, so it may have been made by that same visual artist instead of being made by Sheridan.

Did Sheridan not make the artwork for Only? I do not see it in your link there.

I assume the logistics are entirely different with a hologram compared to a 2D viewscreen. Or are there viewscreens in Star Wars as well?

EDIT: Oh, this question probably does a good job summarizing the type of inconsistencies you are talking about

https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/108609/how-do-star-wars-hologram-communications-work

Starting at 2:46 in Clones Wars season 2 episode 7 we see both ends of a hologram communication. I've always wondered how people somehow manage to maintain eye contact while using holograms to communicate since often, as in this case, each are viewing images of the other that greatly vary in size. Obi-wan Kenobi and Ki-Adi-Mundi are in a large room looking down on a 2-3 foot image of Luminara Unduli.

Master Unduli however is holding a mobile jedi holoprojector looking down at 1 foot images of Kenobi and Mundi.

How can they both be looking down at projections less than half the height of an average humanoid while still maintaining eye contact with the person on the other end?

Stranger still, at 3:16 when Anakin Skywalker enters the room, joining the other two Jedi, we see the 2-3 foot image of Unduli in the center of the room turn her entire body about 90 degrees to face Skywalker.

Then Mundi speaks up at 3:25, prompting the small Unduli image to do a 180 degree turn to face Mundi.

However we then immediately see at 3:29 that she never needed to turn since they've only been two little images in her hand all along.

It makes no sense for Unduli to turn right and left to face people she's essentially holding in her hand. Curiously, Skywalker's image is absent from Unduli's mobile holoprojector even though we saw her turn to face him. Did he race out of the room the nanosecond he finished talking?

He doesn't fear the Wraith. Now clowns, that's another story. They scare the crap out of him.

John Shepard?

EDIT: Oh, I misunderstood what was going on in this board.

That's just a guess as to one reason why these types of alien prosthetics are so immersion-breaking

G'Kar can't even turn his neck. Reminds me of how the Cardassian prosthetics pull me out of the realism and make me painfully aware that I am watching TV.
