I have never known another show where so bloody many of the cast failed to reach age 70.

This breaks my heart. Rest in peace, Mira.

The Curse: This sci fi show ("Babylon 5") seems to have created a curse. That is what fans of the show believe. It is not necessarily what those closest to the situation believe. There is one offspring of an actor victim of the "curse" who has an entirely different theory. The offspring thinks there is no "curse." The offspring's theory is that the series creator (J. Michael Straczynski) has been systematically killing off a cast member (Richard Biggs/44/aortic dissection) (Stephen Furst/63/diabetes) (Andreas Katsulas/59/lung cancer) (Jerry Doyle/59/natural causes) (Jeff Conaway/60/drug overdose) every few years. He considers the show to have been his life's work, and as such wants to garner attention for it in the hopes of getting a reboot with a brand new, younger cast and updated special effects. You may have noticed how he releases a lengthy, heartfelt statement almost immediately after a cast member passes (and often is the one to break the news in the first place). He wants to appear to be a "patriarch" of the cast members, when it's actually not that at all. They live in a state of fear. Prior to the death of this actress (Mira Furlan/65/West Nile Virus), the offspring thought perhaps he was singling out only male members of the cast. "Babylon 5"/J.

TMC-4, this is SICK and DISGUSTING. Will you stop posting all of these STUPID article links??

I didn't write that in the first place, so don't blame the messenger. And even if I didn't post it here, somebody is going to inevitably read it anyway! And whenever I approach a "blind item", I always keep in mind first and foremost, to "take it with a grain of salt".

reply

If you post it on here, you take responsibility for it.

Can you not see it for the utter nonsense that it is, as well as being disrespectful?

reply

Why do you assume that just because I post it here, that must automatically mean that I right way believe 100% of it!? It's up to you to make up your own mind to whether or not it's truly "utter nonsense" as well as being "disrespectful"? Again, just because I posted it here, doesn't mean that I wrote it or that people elsewhere aren't going to read it.

reply

If you post something like that with no accompanying comment from yourself, then you are clearly trolling because you know perfectly well what the reaction will be.

You are contributing absolutely nothing to this forum.

reply

You can believe whatever the hell you want to believe, but it at this point, seems way to coincidental at this point, that many cast-members of B5 are dying before the age of 65. And if you don't like what I have to post, then there's an ignore option on MovieChat.

I'm by the way, not the only one who has come across the discussion about whether or not this particular show is "cursed".

Does anyone actually believe this curse nonsense? It's the sort of thing a child would believe. Some people need to grow up and get a grip.
