I find the B5 version of jacket lapels interesting - a buttoned down tab! (In B5, the so-called Nehru collar is seen on shirts, not jackets.) There is more variety to that concept though than there is to clothing in Star Trek, for example. The shirt/jacket combination is close to our own current...

I am. Pleased to meet you! I've sewn costumes for a different fandom (Lord of the Rings), and a website with ideas says: Buying finished costumes can be very expensive; you can check out eBay or google "Babylon 5 costume" to see what you find. I agree with Republibot - trying to make it...

Ah, good point, Jan! Then I wonder if his performance in ItB got him a role in Season 5.

I enjoyed seeing this prequel to the series, though I do have several reservations. I definitely would not use it to introduce someone new to B5; not only are there spoilers, but also a bewildering number of characters showing up, some only very briefly. I can imagine someone wondering why that...

Ah, I hadn't thought of that connection! Thanks for the info, Joe.

"Sleeping in Light" had me weeping most of the way through it - it is so very sad, beautifully so. I tried to pinpoint what made it so special (I very rarely cry for movies, even less for TV); the story is wonderful, the music evocative, but in the end it comes down to the actors, especially...

More closure in this episode - we find out for whom G'Kar left that recorded message. Ta'Lon is a great choice as his replacement! Then comes the next replacement - Dr. Hobbes. Interesting choice, as the one with whom Franklin probably had the most disagreements. Nice when someone can see...

This wasn't directed at me, but I'm taking it as a general statement - thanks! I'd also like to thank VL for this thread; it's been an invaluable resource for a latecomer to this forum such as myself. I've enjoyed reading others' comments and the linked guide pages for additional information...

Seeing Number One again was an unexpected surprise! Interesting way to bring her back into the mix - though unfortunately too late to see anything of her in the future. Interesting development in the murder threat - it has no consequence in itself, but provides the framework for the other...

Though there's plenty happening in this episode, it does feel like the quiet after the storm. We're moving toward closure, tying up loose ends, and the main characters are leaving the station. Finally! Garibaldi's drinking problem comes out into the open and forces Sheridan and the others to...

Wow, what a payoff!! This is B5 arc storytelling at its very best. Nothing is ever isolated, and this war is not new, just a continuation - or an echo - of the Shadow War. The Drakh's statement, that they are "a shadow of a shadow", is fascinating. They have chosen a horrible revenge, and for...

What a cliffhanger! Excruciating to wait for the next episode when it was initially aired... It's hard to pinpoint all the various things going on - Londo and G'Kar on Centauri Prime, Delenn and Lennier on their way to Minbar, Sheridan trying to stop disaster, to mention only the important...

The title is great - sounds like a quote, but I couldn't find a source for it. This episode feels very uncomfortable - I find myslf squirming, wishing there were a way to stop the inevitable. I also find myself hating Garibaldi for failing, and wishing that the others would finally recognize...

Garibaldi's dream is indeed interesting, a clear warning, but apparently not clear enough to get him off his drinking habits. I don't recall ever hearing any further information about whether or not Lyta was actually actively involved, or just his imagination. I can understand Lise's reaction...

I can't help but think that it was foolish of Delenn to go to such a vulnerable place to meet Lennier, but you have to admit, she took care of herself! Minbari fingers must have strength! I was surprised that Lennier told her what Morden prophecied - that seems slightly out of character...
