I don't own any of the recent ED books, so I guess I've missed them. Maybe
it's time to play ED sometime again...

Nope. It's time to watch Babylon V. The Shadows are a race of Old
Ones (aliens that have been around for billions of years). They fit
the Horror mold pretty well.

I know that, but the reply made it look like "Shadows" were a new type of
Horror in ED. (Damn, now you've made me think of B5 again, and that they
stopped showing it over here :( )

reply... *grumble* :)

Can you receive British TV? Specifically Channel 4?
If so, you're in luck, because Season 4 of B5 starts in about 3 weeks....

station....

season by now.....

(Oh, if you like ReBoot, you can call me a Bastard again, 'cos Season III of
that starts in 2 weeks.....)

Only BBC 1 and 2, unfortunately... And with the abundance of
English-language TV channels, it's not likely they'll be putting on
another one any time soon (I remember the protests of the local
francophiles when TV 5 had to make way for MTV... (that was before that
channel started to suck, BTW :))

No gurth, I'm sorry, it was in reference to Babylon 5...not anything in
SR...I was saying the Shadows (B5's big bad guys that have left beyond the
Rim now) would make a great variation on a Horror.
