A hallmark of Babylon 5 has always been humanity's exploration of culture. In contrast to Star Trek, which ventured into humanity's exploration of technology, and Star Wars, which ventured into humanity's exploration of ethics/spirituality. As a fan, Babylon 5 has steeped me in alien cultures...

Nice. You played a real world example, so tip of the cap. That said, it still seems like an odd choice made by the writer. The prop department contributed to the oddness by providing one of the biggest technological eyesores in B5. That's two ignominious ends. A pity. Hmm, but what is JMS...

This post contains an assorted collection of questions and comments centered around Season 1. I'm bringing them to the most illuminated fans of B5. "Midnight on the Firing Line" - The Centauri's ability to see their death is such an interesting feature. Although it goes against the meek...

Yes, I know. It's the unfairness of TV. Can't say I like the idea of Marcus outliving Ivanova just so he watch her croak, either.

-"A View from the Gallery," "Learning Curve," and "Secrets of the Soul" were lame. Some episodes trying to highlight some of the smaller parts of the Babylon 5 universe worked brilliantly, however these three episodes were absolute filler. Having so many different 'uncommon narrator' episodes...

In war, tradition takes a backseat to survival. Valen, with his mysterious charisma, would have needed little time to convince a Minbari race on the edge of annhilation to change. Technically, 'change' is probably the wrong word; Valen only sought to enhance the Minbari social values of order...

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Babylon 5 belongs to JMS; it is his unique universe, and unlike other science fiction series -- such as Star Trek -- it is not set up for the next generation. When JMS went "Sleeping in Light," he burned all of the jumpgates behind him. I understand your feelings about wanting a new series; all...

Channe, since I can't even imagine how burnt out you must be from Redeux, I'm going to attempt some uplifting words: In-friggin'-credible. Holy Moses, Channe, do you have any idea how long you've been doing this? I looked back to the 1st page, and can you believe this page started at the...

Use your points for some Trek Analogies. Everyone knows how this goes. Dog : Puppy :: Cat : Kitten Also, this oughta greatly increase your SAT scores, Seniors. Picard : "I don't have kids" :: Kirk : "Kids? I have millions" Janeway and Archer : Stupid Trek shows :: Kirk : Stupid...

"You cannot break those chains. They're made of solid correlium." I was only 10 when it aired on TV, but I still remember the struggle written all over G'Kar's eyes.

Ivanvoa's behavior when it comes to her telepathy is really anyone's call, it's a complete variable. So, yes, it can be very hard to write about that. Virg., there's still not enough I can say about the greatness of your story. Take as much time as you need - but bring Ta'Wher with you when...

Welcome to the board, Virg. A story like this demands feedback, so let's clear up a few minor things: -Zack Allan is his name. You misspelled it using the more common "Allen." -Nightwatch members recieve fifty extra credits a week for services, not thirty. -Very odd alien names, even for...

Re: Hints? More Redux, yes, but I still don't see it. The pieces are there, but I can't add it up to get the big picture. Lennier sees it; Channe sees it, but I don't get it. Damn my poor jigsaw puzzle skills.

Re: Hints? ^ Is it me, or did RW sound exactly like Kurdy right there? But, yes, we are waiting eagerly for you, Channe.
