Hell hath no fury like a bitter fanboy,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Babylon File: The Unofficial Guide to J. Michael Straczynski's Bablyon 5, Vol. 2 (Mass Market Paperback)
It's okay for anyone not to like something and say so. What's NOT okay is to skew the facts in order to represent your opinion as fact. The book is full of misrepresentations and situations where unrelated events are put together to make them look as if they have something to do with each other. He goes over the so-called he said/she said thing about why Claudia left the show totally ignoring that Claudia came out and SAID IN PRINT THAT SHE QUIT FOR MONEY long before this book was finished. But that's inconvenient for his thesis so he ignores it. Because the fifth season didn't go the way he wanted it to, the way he thought it SHOULD have gone, he turns into a bitter fanboy and spews a tantrum in print, which is a loathsome and despicable thing for any so-called journalist to do. A reviewer should review the show that IS, not the show that HE would have made. As such, this book is entirely worthless and offensive, full of bad information, misinformation, skewed reporting, false premises and bile. An utter waste of time.

Sad,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Babylon File: The Unofficial Guide to J. Michael Straczynski's Bablyon 5, Vol. 2 (Mass Market Paperback)
I loved The Babylon file, but the second volume was a dissapointment. It's cynical, it gives me the impression that the author hates Babylon 5, it seems to say "This is what I think, and I don't care what you think, because I'm right", and parts are just proven wrong by the episodes. This is not the same quality of writing from the first book.

A P.O.'ed author is not a good author,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Babylon File: The Unofficial Guide to J. Michael Straczynski's Bablyon 5, Vol. 2 (Mass Market Paperback)
This book was a great disappointment. Babylon File 1 was a great book, full of insight and intelligent observations concerning everything from actors to dialog. Babylon File 2 is an episode guide from an author who hated the episodes. So Lane didn't like season 5. Oh well. So he delivered a horribly biased and grumpy review of the final two seasons. Granted, it is still a decent summary of seasons 4 and 5, but . . . Let's just hope by the time the omnibus edition of the two books comes out, Lane will have come to his senses and sucked some of the steam this book blows off back in.
