Ohh yeah, To dream in the City of Sorrows is my fabourtite book out of all the B5 books. Fantasitcally written and has the most reliable source of information. [her husband basically ] Out of Darkness is also a good at tying all the loose ends of B5. ------------------ May the...

People, bear in mind that 10 years ago, Earth was left with little more than 200 ships [capital I think] before the Minbari surrendered. They had 2 years to fight the Minbari before being downed to little more than 20000 ships in the Battle of the Line. Now, I know there has to be more ships...

The possibility that Captain Lochley is a representative of Earth is not unacceptable. Remember the whole point of choosing her in the first place for commanding B5 was that she was basically on the other side of the war, yet avoided direct combat with the Rebel fleet. And as Commanding officer...

Anyways, I still think Rangers are better trained at least in space combat than standard military. Particularly when they're now more or less diversified by the numerous races of ISA. ------------------ May the light of the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha protect you. May you all be well and happy...

That's exactly the point. I read the Jedi Academy series too. By the time of "Champions of the Force", it was pretty clear to everyone that Exar Kun was exacting his influence on their most promising members. This included Gantoris, Kyp Durron, Streen and even Corran. Corran was harder because...

I stand corrected then. By the way, X-Wing series sucked in my opinion. It was too centered on Corran Horn. I, Jedi was ridiculous, as it attempted to inject Corran Horn into the Jedi Academy series. And he had the arrogance to presume that he was smarter and worthier than his master Skywalker...

As far as Star Wars novelisation goes, I never really accepted anything after the Thrawn Thrilogy: Heir of the Empire, Dark Force Rising, The Last Command. This was the first novelisation of Star Wars. Why? As someone said, they can be contradicted by George Lucas. And George Lucas is not JMS...

Dulann or Firell could be worker caste. Have their caste been mentioned in the movie? As I understand, the Rangers are mainly Worker and Religious when they are Minbari at all. Though I expect after the Minbari Civil War, Warrior Caste once again took up membership in the Rangers...

Re: Myriam\'s the Birthday Girl!!! Why are you all bothering about such a useless thing called age? Sooner or later, everybody grows old. So what if you're 30? Or 40? Or 50? Nothing is permanent. The only important thing is deciding how to live. That being said, allow me to congratulate you...

OK, enough said about Section 31. Shouldn't have compared them to the Rangers on grounds of brute strength. The only thing in common with the Ranges is their intelligence gathering capabilities. Like it or not, Rangers excel at that job. And so do Section 31, base on their capturing Doctor...

I'm not talking about code of conduct here. We all know that the rest of the elite forces of various universes [including our real life SAS] are esentially bad guys, with the explicit purpose of maintaining tyranies that have no right to restrain freedom. Stormtroopers are feared for their...

The only thing clear was that the upgrade mentioned in "Gropos" made Babylon 5 armed with heavy weapons. Remember before that we only saw anti-fighter batteries. Now we see a bunch of cool and mean looking cannons sticking out of Babylon 5. It wasn't upgraded to take on a Minbari Warcruiser. It...

It was a war between teleptahs. The result was a greater freedom for telepaths, though old prejudices die hard. Unless we hear more from JMS, we can assume the better change lasted and Bester's predictions did not come true. Only problem was that some old P-Cops managed to slip through the...

The rest of you better remember the rest of us living elsewhere, and be thankful your born on the American continent. ------------------ May the light of the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha protect you. May you all be well and happy, free from suffering, free from sickness.

Shit!!! I've read the review. Now I know what the hell is coming!!! Oh well, I read the episode sypnopsis of every episode before I saw them and still enjoyed anyway. ------------------ May the light of the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha protect you. May you all be well and happy, free from...

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Mr. Bester: Yes they're alike considering that both the Jedi and Anla'shok were derived from the Lensman an elite order of galactic guardians empowered by a higher force to battle that force's enemy and...

I think we all agree these 2 episodes were the best, if not 2 of the best, in terms of acting, CGI and script. Sleeping in Light: The death of Sheridan. Every scene invokes a tear. Even Vir playing the fool with 2 women and suddenly realizes what the Ranger brings. The Long Twilight Struggle...

Well, using current terminology, it can't be described as a Destroyer or a carrier. Maybe it was called a Destroyer because of the anti-fighter weaponry it carried, which is the actual job of current destroyers I think, to drive away nuisances like fighters while the Battleships do they're jobs...

Well, I think we know what the Jedi have that the Rangers don't: The Force and a lightsaber. Seriously speaking though, the Jedi are not a true military. In fact, they abhor it and only in times of great peril do they actually form an army. The last time they did that was 1000...

Not bad. Not perfect either in a few minor details but essentially, I give it a 85% accuracy. ------------------ May the light of the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha protect you. May you all be well and happy, free from suffering, free from sickness.
