Casts my mind back to another high-quality dramatic television series that was years ahead of its time in terms of its "edgy" writing, cutting-edge special effects, and jaw-dropping plot twists... ...Gilligan's Island. :D

Re: Gaelic pronunciations and Albaphiles! ATTENTION: what follows may be officially considered a "rant" or "tirade" depending upon the reader's location. Says who? I want to know why people think that in the realm of names, grammar does not apply. My father-in-law's name is Gerry. Most...

Re: \"Best\" and \"worst\" deaths Best death: Bester's partner in "Mind War." - When I go, I want to be vaporized - seems quick and painless enough. Worst death: Ikarran War Machine in "Infection." - "IKAAAAAAARRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!" Don't get me wrong, I love Marshall Teague, but that...

Sleepy, When you mentioned "intertwined personalities" it got me thinking... Maybe the reason that Talia was able to accept Ironheart's gift is because they had been lovers in the past - and THIER personalities were somehow intertwined. Since Ironheart's relationship was with the real Talia...

IIRC, that wasn't an ISN broadcast, but an academic broadcast for students at colleges and universities around the world to watch and take part in. If you're holding a discussion with people on a higher academic level (it seemed like a broadcast that was probably suited a post-grad. level...

Nathan, your hypothesis has brought a very plausible answer to a question that has bugged me for years. In "Deconstruction of Falling Stars," one of the professors being interviewed in 2362 admits that Minbari are generally longer-lived than humans, but then goes on to state that the record...

HEY! There's no need for personal attacks! Sure, I have some problems with long division - WHO DOESN'T?! I've just learned that if I wear flip-flops a lot then my toes are readily accessible for counting. :)

We have to remember that when aliens are speaking on the show, we hear English (at least I do :)). They are not speaking English, however. They are either speaking their own language (to another of their same species) or Interlag (to one of a different species). So when Delenn (a Minbari)...

Thanks for the link, Grumbler. I don't remember Justin from "The Shadow Within." Of course, if memory serves, the Icarus crew only used last names when addressing each other, so I guess he could have been one of the guys on board and his first name was just never spoken.

IIRC, what Ladira sees is a shuttle that barely escapes being blown up with the rest of the station. I always figured that this explosion happened because Garibaldi "rigged the fusion reactors" like Ivanova said in her transmission from the future (or because the Shadows finally just shot it to...

I think her name was Lady Ladira (or some such) because Londo's girlfriend was Adira. Anyway... The future that she sees is not the actual future, however. The future she sees is the same one that Sinclair sees on B4 and the same one from which transmissions are picked up in WWE pt. 1...

HEY! I'm not THAT annoying... ...am I? ;) Just kidding. Welcome aboard, Dan.

I don't think so. I sense a real "Lord of the Rings" motif in the way that JMS structured the two biggest wars that we see in the B5 arc. The 4 Hobbit heroes of LOTR go off on great campaigns to unheard-of places. They fight great and powerful enemies that no other Hobbit could ever dream of...

My question is...just how did the Grey Council determine that Sinclair had VALEN's soul. It's not like there's a monitor hooked up to the triluminary or anything. There are not flashing readouts that say "Valen! Valen! Valen!" If the triluminary glowed for most or all of the human Starfury...

Re: Sinclair\'s Pacifist Answer IIRC, the reporter's question wasn't about Babylon 5 alone, but about the entire principle of humanity's presence in space. I figure this would include the other colonies and stations anywhere around the galaxy. In answer to that, Sinclair's response was right...
