    Obscure dialogue and hidden meanings

    There were a few lines in the show about Marcus brother being the reason he joined the Rangers. It's explained in Detail in the book. ------------------ Do not ascribe your own motivations to others: At best, it will break your heart. At worst, it will get you dead."

    Two different kind of Drakh? Spoilers for the fifth season

    They also thought the "blur" would be a cool effect but, after they watched it a few extra times, decided it wasn't such a good idea. Plus it was very expensive. ------------------ Do not ascribe your own motivations to others: At best, it will break your heart. At worst, it will get you dead."

    Long live the Corps

    One thing people seem to be forgetting about Shadow Tech is that it is ALIVE. The Technomages get most of their abilities from a Secondary Nervous system that is introduced into their bodies. That secondary system IS the "Shadow Tech". <table bgcolor=black><tr><td bgcolor=black><font...

    First Ones, Second Ones, stragglers, and checkers

    Well, the Vorlons kick started every race they gave Telepath/Telekinetic DNA to. If Ironheart's abilities are the proper template for achieving "First Oneishness", and I believe they are, all the races would have to evolve (or GENEngineer) these talents before they could Take that final step...

    Dr. Franklin's love life

    Re: Dr. Franklin\'s love life I think JMS posted a remark about Dr. Franklin eventually dying on some distant planet, so that would imply that he went back to Wandering the Galaxy when he got older. Not what you would expect if he were involved with anyone. As far as Tessa Halloran, except...

    Dr. Franklin's love life

    Re: Dr. Franklin\'s love life This thread is somewhat Ironic considering it was Franklin's Lack (or perceived lack) of any sort of Personal Life that led to his Stim addiction. His romance with Number 1 probably didn't work out too well. As they both observed at the time, they were Both...

    Long live the Corps

    The Telepath/Telekinesis genes would appear to be necessary for the final leap into Energy Being (First One status). Ironheart is the template. His enhanced Telekinetic abilities were what allowed him to sense and understand his own body's entire atomic structure and transform himself into...

    Re: Here\'s a thought... Nope. There are a few things we already know. Admittedly not Many, but a few. The ThirdSpace aliens Originated in the "thirdspace" universe. It is another complete Universe, seperate from ours that the Vorlon opened a door to. Much to their everlasting regret...

    Room For Rangers?

    I suspect that Riverworld will be Too Expensive for consideration as a series, regardless of how well they do making it. Unless they do major changes to the concept, they'd need a different location almost every episode, too. Rebuilding your sets every week is a Lot of work. That would also...

    Warrior Monks in Sci-Fi

    Well, since JMS said that his inspiration was "The Lone Ranger"... Let's hope the B5 Rangers turn out NOT to have much in common with the Knights Templar, Hospitalars, etc. of the Crusades. They turned into a murderous bunch of sanctimonious thieves for the most part...

    Vorlons and Telepaths - What's going on here??

    Re: Vorlons and Telepaths - What\'s going on here?? If you look closely at the Babies in that scene, they were of ALL Races, not just Human. The most likely scenario is that many of the "abandoned" babies which get adopted every year are really the Vorlon "Changelings". BTW, this is a common...
