1. The fluid and dead blood cells are purged from the body through normal waste elimination cycles, so Adam's blood, too, would eventually be passed. 2. Adam must be type O, the universal donor! ;-) In all, I found this abbreviated season a bit of a let down. Maybe if they could have made...

This is one of those episodes that are hard to watch, but that's exactly why Babylon 5 was such a great show. It didn't play it safe and it took you places you didn't want to go.

That is something I would REALLY like to see!

As a former enlisted member of the Navy Reserves, there are such things as "unlawful orders" that you do not have to obey and may even be punished for obeying. The rules for officers are a little different and I'm not as clear on them. But one thing I am clear on, Caine had no right to shoot...

I really liked Sinclair, too, for pretty much the same reasons. In fact, the show almost lost me when they replaced him with Sheridan in the season season. But I'm glad I stuck it out!

I agree that they didn't have time to really explore the character of Caine. And her relationship with Gina-6 is only part of the story. What she did to her XO, she did before she learned about Gina-6.

The old Cylons were awesome to see, particularly the old Raiders. What I feel the story failed to do is bring any real depth to the character of Admiral Caine. We all know she is a ruthless leader without boundaries, but I did not glean any sense of why she was like that. Even the revelation...

My favorite lines are when Sheridan explodes in the counsel chambers in the 5th season episode 'And All My Dreams, Torn Asunder.' "We talked about peace. You didn't want peace. We talked about cooperation. You didn't want cooperation. You want war, is that it? You want a war, well you got...

Severed Dreams. I never imagined that the story line would take such a drastic turn as it did in this episode. The show clearly wasn't going to follow some formula year after year.

And it was such a captivating story. It was so difficult to watch Londo start down that road of bad choices. But you understand from the first season that it is his burning desire to restore the glory of the Centauri Republic that makes Morden's power irresistible to him. It's what makes...

I hope you're right. There could be more room in the Sci-Fi Channel budget once BattleStar concludes. They could free up more money for a quality series if they stopped making all those bad one-shot movies. I haven't seen one that held my interest long enough to watch the whole thing. (Am I...

It always seemed to me that JMS could have been laying the ground work for the same triangle confrontation between Delenn, Sinclair, and Catherine that we saw between Delenn, Sheridan, and Anna. A lot of the elements are there, including a Minibari ritual that doubles as a wedding in The...

Being that the very existence of season 5 was in doubt at the time, I believe JMS concluded much of original the story in season 4. When TNT committed to make the final season, he had a new season to write. That's why season 5 feels like an extended epilogue. Though I still enjoyed it, even...

In general, I concur that starting with 'In the Beginning' or 'The Gathering' would be the best place. However, I've experienced people who did not have the attention span to watch the series long enough to appreciate the depth of the story arcs. Perhaps for someone like that, seeing SiL and...
