You mean there's an unselfish-recoil? Sorta like Smeagol and Gollum? :) I sorta figured, but not everyone is as familiar with selfish-recoil as others, and might a) think you were being serious b) think you had a point. :D I really am ticked off that the stupid paper included all those...

I like this approach. If you're watching one of the movies or something and he doesn't immediately recognize it and asks what you're watching, turn the TV off. Then explain that what you were watching isn't really his kind of thing, that he wouldn't "get" it - and ask if he'd like you to put...

Re: Actual B5:TLT News Probably not terribly long before the discs ship. You don't market a (maybe) $5 million dollar direct-to-DVD movie the way you market Spiderman 3 with teaser trailers and reoprts from the set and putting the cast on TV talk shows starting a year ahead of time. Don't...

Re: Actual B5:TLT News That would seem the sensible thing to do, and follows the pattern they set with the original DVDs. But JMS probably can't confirm or deny that, or discuss any alternatives due to industry protocol or contractual reasons, and he's the only person "inside" the production...

Re: Actual B5:TLT News Well, 2nd quarter was never more than a provisional target date, set before shooting on the film had even started. I don't know why people treat such things as if they were carved in stone and talk about things being "delayed" when they were never firmly scheduled...

Maybe the "random old guy" was the brother of the other person the tennis center was being named for? I'm annoyed that their slide show format doesn't include captions to explain who the people in each photo were. In any case, this wasn't an article about Acress Tracy Scoggins (notice her...

Here's a link that goes directly to the tennis story. The pictures are presented as a slide show, so you'll have to wait to see the shots of Tracy, who looks good. Regards, Joe

The Minbari's own strategy. ItB clear suggests that they were systematically attacking Earth military and other strategic posts starting with those closest to Minbari and gradually working their way towards the Sol system. There's no indication that they ever leapfrogged into the Sol system...

If you want your stuff to be read it would help if you tried to make it readable. Solid blocks of unbroken text aren't. I don't know if this is an affectation, poor typing skills or what, but buy a f*****g spacebar already! :D OK, I feel better. ;) Nit-pick and rant over. We now join...

The Wiki article is based on Sheridan's S2 description of his destruction of the Black Star. This is contradicted by what we see on-screen in In the Beginning. (The battle does not take place in the Sol system, for starters, since the Minbari don't reach the Human's home base until the very...

Have you read any of the posts in this thread? :) Most of your questions have already been answered. Some several times. ;) 1. Sheridan's ship carried nukes. Who says they were used in space? They could have been used against ground targets. 2. 20 to 30 Nukes "all together" - a) you...

The Gaim devices aren't mines per se. They're just bombs. Ivanova says she intends to use the virtually undetectable devices as mines to destory Shadow vessels as they come out of hyperspace. The thing about nuclear mines, as opposed to nuclear missles, is that they are contact devices...

Since I was originally responding to hyp's point about P10s being rare (which obviously meant "rare within Psi Corps") I naturally meant my bell curve comment to apply to the subset of the population that consists of teeps, not the entire population of Humans. If you're talking about the...

???? I'm not even seeing a spoiler box. I just see the tags, some line breaks and Andrew's text. I've added old fashioned "count down" numbers so those who see what I do can avoid the spoiler. I'm not sure why that isn't working or isn't working properly. I'll need to check with Antony...

1. Don't call me "Shirley" 2. I'm not sure what you're basing the "surely" on. :) Nearly all other characteristics in the human population that are either determined or heavily influenced by genes show the distribution I'm suggesting. Geniuses are rare and so are simpletons. The vast...

Exactly. The only reason Sheridan's little gambit against the Black Star worked is that he buried the nukes in asteroids and detonated them when they were nearly touching the hull of the Minbari cruiser. That gave the weapons reaction mass to work with - something to accelerate and hurl...

:) Joe

And as long as Bester and those he approves of are running the telepaths. ;) Regards, Joe

The Centauri used "mass drivers" against the Narn. These appear to be a kind of linear accelerator. You put a big chunk of rock with a decent metal contact inside a serious magnetic field and charge the puppy up and let fly - huge accelerations, no chemicals or nuclear rockets required. NASA...
