Who would have been able to get Cartagia's illegitimate son in line for the throne? To be honest, I can't think of anyone willing. And I can't see Emperor Londo endorsing such a thing.

There seems to be a bit of a contradiction with this character. In Voices in the Dark, he is specifically stated to be the son of Emperor Cartagia, but when Cartagia was assassinated by Vir, it was said that he had no heirs. Judging by Dius' age in 2271, I'd say he was born before his father was...

I liked Talia, so the thought of her dying like that distresses me a great deal. :(

Yes.

I believe it's been suggested elsewhere that Thirdspace occurs between the scenes in "Atonement" of Zack getting his new uniform, and Delenn meeting those other Minbari on the station. Another suggestion I've heard is that Zack was actually being re-dressed, his other uniform having been...

Well, though there's some variance, all the measurements of distance mentioned on the show place the location of B5 as being quite further away from Earth than the 10.67 light years that the Epsilon Eridani system is in real life. Personally, I think it's more likely the system B5 is in is 82...

I found this website a little while ago which got me interested in where everything is supposed to take place in B5: http://www.chronology.org/noframes/b-five/astronomy.html Among other things, it does point out the difficulties in placing the location of the B5 station around Epsilon...

So it's before "Atonement"? How can that be, when Zack didn't wear his new uniform until that episode?

Okay, I know that the TV movie Thirdspace takes place some time during season 4 of the show, but I'm having trouble figuring out exactly when. Zack's wearing his new uniform in it, which he first wore at the beginning of "Atonement", but that's about the only clue we have, and it doesn't really...

Well I've finished season 3 now, and am about to start on season 4. Safe now?

When is the best time to read these novels? Should I wait until the end of the TV show?

And just because the Psi-Corps has Talia's brain, doesn't mean they have her, if you get what I mean. Ironheart's gift to her could have enabled her true personality to survive, and exist independant of her physical body, leaving said body to be inhabited only by Control.

Doesn't Bester have her brain in a jar in a later story though?

I don't know. His feelings for Talia were still strong even after he ascended. Actually, if the Psi-Corps really do have Talia's brain, does this mean they also now have the advanced powers given her by Ironheart? That's not a comforting thought....

^Besides which, I reckon Ironheart (or rather, the cosmic being that had once been him) would have been pretty damn upset had the Psi-Corps dissected Talia. I doubt he'd have let it slide.
