love babylon 5 and my dad would watch the show with me as a kid and he would say "that is Bill Mumy he was in lost in space" he would say that in every opening credits miss being with my dad
Some of my fondest memories were centered on his character. I particularly loved his acting in the episode where he rebuilds the sports bike with a few modifications. Really fun episode.
I was always waiting for Lennier or Vir to show up on the show. Great work, Bill Mumy, especially with you basically having to go without sound through the scene
At least I know now why Bill wasn't happy with the way Lennier "left the series" but I still don't see how that could have been a personal slam at him on Joe's part. I saw it as fulfilling the prophecy of Morden as was revealed in "Day of the Dead," Neil Gaiman's story for the series. While Bill saw him as "wimping out," I saw him as conflicted with the "No!" outburst as a resolution to the conflict. Too late, of course, since Sheridan saved himself but that's what made it more real to me: he could have saved him but it wasn't an immediate choice for Lennier. Maybe the "personal swipe" theory was discussed in another segment...

I like his description of Lenier and agree with him on how badly they handled his character in the last season.
Well said, Bill. You, too, were brilliant on B5.
I'm more or less taking this as permission to pretend that that entire scene just did not happen because i friggin love Lennier.

I agree with him about his character arc 100%. Joe was totally burnt out by season 5. The beats were there, but it was an exhausted man's work.
This guy is an AWESOME, AWESOME actor.

Especially loved your take on the end ...
Have to agree with Bill on that one
These are great. Thanks!
that scene never made sense to me either.
