A race hustler, Jesse Jackson type. Will there be a Telepath War down the line? Wonder who the telepath face will be? Bester or Byron? Bester is an object of resentment, so I guess if it's Bester, it will be telepaths defending themselves. On the other hand, Byron is a walking resenment, and...

At which, Sheridan retorted that it's just PR. The real reason was the Alliance restriction of outright unprovoked wars, especially that of expansion. I don't know whether the war at 500 was the Great Burn, but if it was, then the reason for other races (and human colonies) abandonment of...

Those interrogations, as well as Ministry of Peace and Ministry of Truth, were from 1984. Sometimes I wonder, 23th century librarians are sucks at their job. They manage to lost all copy of the book.

1918, after his final push, the Kaiser realized that it's all over. His generals staff informed him that they had nothing more to throw at the advancing allied forces. Meanwhile, after long years of terrible war, the Allied sigh in relief for not having to fight it all the way to Berlin. They...

I never noticed it before, but yesterday I watched that when Londo snarled, he had fangs. Is that a face feature of Centaurians or Peter Jurasik is a vampire?:eek:

Oh my, where did you live all these years ... :) First thing to do is to find a forum for the game (more often than not, it's an off-shoot of civ forums). Then you get yourself a copy of Hamachi for setting up a virtual private network. I think it's available for free download. Create a room...

Yeah. However, JMS might had Israelis in mind when he designed the N'arn, but with the way the story turned out, I don't think it's Israel. The Israel state never (at least openly) lashed against European. Their troublemaking activities are mostly against their neighboring Middle Eastern...

The Narn is Central Europe of the 30s. After centuries of occupation, they regained independence and started picking on their former masters, namely German-Austrian-Russian. Eventually, their old masters called their bluff and slammed them, while the other great forces just watched in terror.

Actually, Neroon used it too (season 2 "All Alone in the Night"). And yes, it's derogatory. However, to me it's a gramatical error. Because it'll translate to "people who believe in earth" instead of "people from earth".

Why people from earth were called "earthers" by everybody else? Wouldn't "earthlings" or "terrans" be more appropriate name calling? "Earthers" sounds more like it was an ideological conviction instead of just being from there like "earthlings" or "terrans".

G'Kar bopped the head of a zealot of religion that he supposedly founded, for daring to argue with him by using verses from his book. Somehow make me imagine of what Jesus or Mohammed will do to some of their followers.

Hmm yeah, my first impression was most of the actors were wooden during the season 1. But it gets better with time. But hey, try to watch any season 1, they are wooden too. Star Trek comes to mind. And by the way, the outside station scenery looks cartoonish. Even by the standard of the...

Without Earth-Minbari war, there wouldn't be any Babylon stations. No Valen, and Minbari would lost the first Shadow war. Perhaps Vorlon knew it beforehand that Dukhat would be killed, and there would be a holy war. They just played it to their favor. As Londo said, "Arrogance goeth before...

I think Centauri Republic were more closer to the Byzantine empire (of history book) with all the plotting and backstabbing even to the eve of final Turkish assault. And the Minbari is closer to the elves of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy. Somehow that one always find it's way to space operas.

Wow, thank you. I spent several hours examining the movie back and forth, and started thinking maybe I get alzheimer or something ... :lol:

Hi, maybe I remember it wrong, but when I watched "In the Beginning" some years ago, I think there was a Soul Hunter ship present during the Earth - Minbari first contact, and the Minbari crew were quite upset about it. But when I watched it again recently, there wasn't any Soul Hunter. Is...
