I am curious if JMS has ever addressed Byron's unpopularity with many B5 fans at a convention. Did the fan reaction surprise him? To an extent, I think the response to Byron is intended as originally, we were supposed to see Bryon as the wrong person for Ivanova. If the character is too...

I would have to echo the vote for Minister even though he is not on the list If the question focused on recurring characters, I would be hard pressed to pick between Morden and Bester; I enjoyed watching villainous characters who could still have some depth and weight.

yes, but which Zathras? :p

Pretty good though I find it odd that they have the countryside background as the default selection. It is kind of odd to see B5 floating above a white fence with birds flying overhead :)

I was thinking about this episode the other day and I came to a realization. Kosh gave the answer that the younger races were not ready for immortality but the need to kill in order to produce the serum would lead to war and chaos. Thus, even if the Shadows or their allies had nothing to do with...

Are you referring to Call to Arms? That was the movie that set up Crusade and introduced the Victory class destroyer...but that was an Earth-Minbari project rather than strictly a Minbari one

I saw the movie tonight and I really enjoyed it. Even if you did not put his name on it, I would know JMS wrote it since I could hear echoes of B5 from time to time. There was no John Sheridan but the first lesson his dad ever taught him is in the movie

I like the episode for many reasons. In terms of the whole battle with the raiders, it was nice to see someone using some strategy for a change rather than just screaming "Fire phasers!" The responses of G'Kar and Londo to Morden's question are great, though it would have been interesting if...

I am surprised it has not come up on this forum but when the Joker started talking about spreading chaos, I started thinking about the Shadows. Granted, the Shadows were trying to encourage evolution and development but on a B5 message board, somebody needs to point it out even if the...

I believe that was "No Reservations."

If they gave the Riddler a dark background, he could fit into this rendition of Batman. Ledger's Joker was much more sadistic than other portrayals (though I admit I have not read the comics so I am not sure how he gets portrayed there). The Jim Carrey incarnation of the character just would not...

Another of my favorite G'Kar moments is in The Long Night when he refuses to take charge of his world. It was not quite as powerful as his "No dictator..." bit but I think it is an excellent way of showing just how far he had come from season 1. (For example, compare what G'Kar says in The Long...

Byron had some of the worst pickup lines of all time. JMS handled some of the other romances in the show so well but when it came to Byron, it was like George Lucas was writing the dialogue...

That would seem to show the Vorlons as weaker than they ended up in B5. It really does not seem feasible to blame humans for the destruction of a Vorlon ship. Maybe the Shadows could frame the Minbari but the Humans?

I agree that this is a great stand alone episode though arc-wise, it does an excellent job of showing the growing relationship between Delenn and Sheridan. I also thought Delenn had some excellent lines in this particular episode.
