I've stopped reading the Star Fury threads too, I was crying too much to

started to explain it only to realise halfway through that he was wrong.
I dont know what the current consensus is, my brain is full.

For once, I had nothing to do with that one. My feeling is that if
you're going to have an annoying thread, at least make it annoying
because it is controversial and not because it's asinine. ;-) OTOH,
one person does not a thread make.... there have been plenty of other
ppl on the group who have joined in.....

Oh, on the contrary.... it *was* hot... damned hot... flame hot, you
might say... in fact, probably the flamiest thread ever on umtsb5. In
actuality it wasn't really about whether I was straight or not (which
I am) but rather whether I was a homophobe (which I ain't).

I think Pedro (being Portuguese and all that) was more concerned with
the cultural history of the thread (apologies if this is patronising,
Pedro, but you *seem* genuinely bewildered)
It's from a song (can't remember who by - probably Playaway) which
goes:

[A]Right there,

Sometimes, especially if I'm made to think about depths or rushing
water (as our buoyancy sub-thread did) I have a dream about a swimming
pool with a waterfall at one end. I like to swim underwater, so I do,
and am dragged under the waterfall. It's too strong to swim up, and I
can't swim sideways (I'm surrounded by glass, behind which are people
looking at me drown.) I wake up, not breathing. I have to take over my
own breathing (in, out, in, out) for a few minutes before my breathing
reflex works again. Not fun, like my dreams usually are :-)

Hate to prolong this any further, but isn't this just the chorus? I seem to
remember the version we sang at school having 4 or 5 verses as well, about
the Mouse who lived in a windmill in old Amsterdam.
Or am I just getting two songs confused?

Well... I did spot the time travel element hidden under the barrage of
treknobabble, but I only saw the last 20 minutes, and there was no
Zathras, so I didn't think about B5 much (!) until the involuntary
assessment of the "architectural" style of the space station.

From memory, with loads of holes, and probably several lines in the
wrong places...
A mouse lived in a windmill
In old Amsterdam
[Two lines forgotten]
He sang every morning
"How lucky I am"
Living in a windmill
In old Amsterdam
Chorus
The mouse he got lonely
And took him a wife
A windmill with mice in
Is hardly surprisin'
They sang every morning
How lucky we are
Living in a windmill
In Amsterdam, yah!
Chorus
[Two lines forgotten]
A windmill with twins in
Triplets and quins in
They sang every morning
How lucky we am
Living in a windmill
In old Amsterdam
Chorus
[Four lines forgotten]
Living in a windmill
So snug and so nice
There's nobody there now
But a whole lot of mice
I've got it on a tape at home, so if nobody else can come up with the
goods I'll post the whole thing some time in March.

The difference between B5 B^2 and DS9 was that we had Epsilon 3 to
explain the time travel, but they just had an accident with Mcguffion
particles making Chief the jammiest lucky devil of all time. Not only
does he get a warning about his own death, but he sees the station
explode and gets to stop that as well.
The ending should have been better thought out. The idea, after
introducing the "other" dead O'Brien, for the "real" one to die and be
replaced by one from another time zone was an interesting plot twist,
but it introduces an extra parallel universe specially to do it. When
O'Brien has his time travel injection, he ends up in his own bedroom, 3
hours in the future, where he wakes up a future version of himself. The
only explanation for him being there is that O'Brien is in a parallel
universe that was exactly the same as his one up to the moment he had
the injection, but in this one, even though he knows that everyone on
the station is hours away from death, he goes home, puts on his pyjamas,
and goes to sleep instead.
Up to that point we only had one future at a time.
