    What's your rewatching thoughts?

    I don't think the Narn's presence on the Raider ship has any implications for the Ragesh III incident (only the recorded transmissions he had in his possession). Had Londo presented the video evidence, perhaps G'Kar would have dismissed it as a fake. But at least it would have left Londo in a...

    What's your rewatching thoughts?

    Okay, here's another example of a B5 logic gap: In "Midnight on the Firing Line" Londo attempts unsuccessfully to convince the Council to intervene on behalf of the Centauri on Ragesh III. But then G'Kar turns the tables on him by arguing that they were "invited". It is only by chance that...

    What's your rewatching thoughts?

    I started rewatching B5 about a month ago, and this time around I've started to notice some logic gaps in some of the stories that don't quite make sense. For example, in "The Gathering" we're suppose to believe that there is a conspiracy to assassinate Kosh involving a human weapons smuggler...

    Origin of Minbari beliefs

    I was reading Volume 7 of the Babylon 5 scripts the other day, and lo and behold I come across a passage starting at the bottom of page 25 where JMS makes a connection between Minbari beliefs and the physical nature of the Vorlons. He notes that during Kosh's death scene, a tech notices an...

    B5 blooper?

    I also seem to recall back in Season 3--perhaps "Severed Dreams"--the same extra could be seen running up and down the corridor over and over again as the sirens went off. Perhaps he was just lost or frantically looking for a bathroom for non-methane breathers...

    Origin of Minbari beliefs

    Do we have any indication that Catherine Sakai underwent the Chrysalis process as well?

    B5 blooper?

    I was watching "Day of the Dead" the other day and I caught a blooper that I hadn't noticed before. Just as Mr. Morden disappears in Lennier's quarters--as the newspaper drops to the floor--you can see the tip of someone's white sneakers come into picture on the lower left corner of the screen...

    Origin of Minbari beliefs

    I agree that Sinclair's Jesuit background would have influenced his words and deeds, but I would like to think that he didn't set out to make himself the religious icon that he would later become. Of course, the angelic Vorlons fluttering at his side probably didn't hurt his public relations any...

    B5:TLT Actual DISCUSSION Thread

    Re: Live from the B5 Set Isn't it more likely that the Prince Regent would be third in line to Londo? I have this vague notion that Vir was the last Centauri Emperor (which, I suppose wouldn't preclude the idea that he could be third to Vir, and would be very put out when the line of...

    Triluminary Pieces

    Having that triangle appear on your forehead at inopportune times can be quite inconvenient, especially when you're trying to pretend you don't know that the Shadows have returned...

    Origin of Minbari beliefs

    "We believe that the Universe itself is conscious in a way we can never truly understand. It is engaged in a search for meaning, so it breaks itself apart, investing its own consciousness in every form of life. We are the universe, trying to understand itself." Delenn, explaining Minbari...

    Origin of Minbari beliefs

    There have been some interesting points made here, although I still believe there is a striking similarity between Minbari beliefs and Vorlon capabilities. I think perhaps I should try to locate the Delenn quote (and perhaps the Lorien one too) on my DVDs to see if this can't be cleared up by...

    Origin of Minbari beliefs

    It has been stated in several episodes that the Minbari believe that the universe is aware, and that somehow it broke its consciousness apart into sentient beings so that it could understand itself (or something like that--I don't recall the precise wording). Is it a coincidence that the...
