Re: Cool stuff in season 1 Remember Delenn's conversation with Kosh in "Chrysalis?" "I have great doubts. I must know if it's true. I must see with my own eyes." Kosh comes out of his encounter suit. Delenn says ""Yes, thank you. Now I will keep the promise." What was it that she had to know...

IIRC he was saying that sometime in the future they might be able to show the Vorlon home world, because their CGI techniques were getting sophisticated enough. He was talking about a possibility that was never realized in the end.

Two types of earth fighters existed in 2261: Thunderbolts, for attacks into atmosphere and Star Furies for space combat. Star furies were the better for the latter: better than Thunderbolts, which left the pilot less freely oriented in space (because the Thunderbolt design featured sitting...

Of course you can, and so can we all. So has JMS. Delenn riding to the rescue in Severed Dreams. The highlight of midpoint of the whole series, and the culmination of its greatest crisis. That was, as James Burke put it, "the day the universe changed." Favorite moments are different by...

Thanks to everyone, and an Internet beer (brand and alcohol content to be determined by the winner) to anyone who can relieve this itch and tell me when and where the "Zathras removed the signs of origin for B4" issue was resolved. :)

Just that, at some point, someone (I think it was JMS) explained that the Minbari didn't know that B4 was from Earth until they saw B5 because Zathras had removed anything that indicated the station's origins, while en route back in time.

Good point. But not relevant in this episode, which featured a human.

I cannot find evidence of the discussion that took place many years ago about how Zathras changed B4 insignia and whatnot to disguise its origin, while Sinclair was undergoing the transformation. I thought JMS was involved in that discussion. Anyone else remember it?

As we know, the Minbari have ways of projecting "sight" deep within their own vessels (we see this during many battles). Not sure what this refers to. It is possible that some episodes "broke the rule" but I cannot think of one. Only those touching the walls. This appears to be an exception...

That is the way I see it. As a wise one once said, "if you are making a point, why not make it so no one can misunderstand it? Send them all." The idea that the Vorlons were "using" the Narn for their own purposes is far more credible than the reverse. Remember how G'Kar has all that info...

Exactly. And a telepath can only work within line-of-sight of the target, so that explanation just does not hunt. Precisely. It is curious that JMS chose this particular dilemma and solution, but the story is about Lochley's dilemma, not about her religious beliefs, if any.

That has always been true for anything I have ordered from Amazon.com that has been released by WB (I got all my B5 stuff, with free shipping, on the release date or even the day before, and this was true of TLT as well), but has never been true for anything I have ordered from Amazon that was...

Exactly my point! Guards would have to be somewhere in the vicinity, because they worked there and took care of the prisoners. There are none. Random Minbari would not be there, because they didn't have to be there. Yet, there one is, casually walking past Lochley and the priest. My only...

Agree that the empty B5 was disappointing, and that the show seemed to cut corners (like where a Religious Caste Minbari is shown in the B5 brig area, rather than security guards, presumably because they already had Minbari costumes). Pacing was a problem, both because the episodes were so...

Re: Newbie just starting S3 - Non-Spoilers ONLY! I am so jealous of you for being able to see this for the first time! It only gets better and better. Let us know when B5 becomes more important to you than food or sleep. We can talk you down, having been there.

I thought that the Ivanova "God sent me" speech worked pretty well the first time I saw it, but was less effective upon repeated viewings. Still, I remember how I felt when this first aired, and so rate it excellent. Man, those were the days when I literally was antsy between episodes...

[ Note that Joe gets it wrong, as usual. Actors under the "Major Role' guidelines get paid for eight days. Not even in Joe's world is a week equal, to eight days. And note that I am not complaining that, after all this time Joe dM has STILL not noticed that there is no capital in...

You have to crouch these sentiments in terms of "President Clarke" to make no-one notice! :lol: Just don't say "nukular" or "moolahs" and you will be okay, even here.

Here I admit my ignorance of modern US television. Does not the WB network still exist? If it does not, then you are right that the WB TV folks have not just a management problem, but a sales problem. That puts them back to the original days of B5, and that is not good.

The problem with B5 can be summed up in the same three letters that identify the strength of B5: JMS. Look, this is the pasion of a single man, who made it work for all of us for 5 seasons, by doing the unthinlkable: aggreeing ahead of time when his series would end, no matter how popular it...
