In Harlan's case, I suspect it's not so much "hates the internet" as Hates the HYPE. Harlan's writing has always shown a sensitivity to overblown hype no matter What it was being appied to. And, since the Internet has set new records for overblown hype, it follows that Harlan might have an...

Healer = Religious?? You're letting your preconceptions show. Too much D&D?? Considering that the Warrior Caste is the caste most likely to Need healers, it's very possible that healers are themselves Warrior Caste. ------------------ Do not ascribe your own motivations to others: At best...

JMS said that the Narn & Centauri never quite make it to Energy Being. They have themselves trapped in an evolutionary dead end. Humans make it and eventually the Minbari, but the Narn & Centauri just stagnate. ------------------ Do not ascribe your own motivations to others: At best, it...

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, arial">quote:</font><HR> admirals commanding ships are still referred to as the captain. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> No, they are NOT, because Admirals Don't Command Ships. They command Squadrons and Fleets of Many ships, not individual ships. It works the Other...

It's unlikely that JMS would be the one making the announcement. That is one of the "perks" the studios and networks reserve to themselves and they get Annoyed if someone "steals their thunder". All through the Original run of B5, JMS had to wait for Warners or PTEN to announce, even though JMS...

It is also possible that some of what people are interpreting as "Friendship" was Respect. It's possible to Respect someone who isn't a good Friend. And, yes, Garibaldi's decisions as Head of Edgars/Garibaldi Enterprises might bring him into conflict with Sheridan on a Frequent basis. But...

Dr. Gonzo, her promotion, if she was going to get one, would have been overdue by that time. She should have been getting the promotion sometime during Crusade's first year. I suspect that the Plague situation would have prompted her to stay in Earthforce, even if she had been thinking of...

Well, the Triluminaries (and the Chrysalis machine) were delivered to Sinclair by Zathras during War Without End. If one were intended for Sakai, it Would explain why Three were needed. It may be that each was tuned to a particular person. It's a mystery. Plus, they evidently have Other...

Just remember that, since JMS didn't write it, he retains the right to tell everyone that Agents of Gaming got it All Wrong. ------------------ Do not ascribe your own motivations to others: At best, it will break your heart. At worst, it will get you dead."

Well, the worker caste wasn't so much looked down on as Ignored by the others. <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, arial">quote:</font><HR> "You had forgotten the worker caste, hadn't you? When our two sides fight, they're the ones caught in the middle, forgotten until it's their time...

The thing that puzzles me about the whole thing is WHY so many people keep trying to figure out where JMS made "adjustments"? Why not accept that what we Got was the Best Babylon 5 story possible and leave it at that? I mean, anyone who thinks he can write a Better story should go Write it. If...

Using Kosh's death as a measure of Shadow power, you have to remember that it took THREE Shadows to kill him. And even then, he stuck with Defending himself. When Sheridan, Kosh & Lorien took out Ulkesh, it became evident that Kosh could have done much More if he had been willing to damage...

You're all forgetting the Children Of Valen. If at least some of the truth about Valen weren't common knowlege, Delenn wouldn't have been able to blackmail her Clan Elders with going Public that She is a Child Of Valen in order to get them to allow her to marry Sheridan. They don't know Valen...

As far as Lyta and Zack, there is no way a telepath as strong as Lyta cound Not know how he felt. I figure that Lyta was just kind enough NOT to give him the "I love you like a brother" speech. Especially since that was probably how she Did feel. Just because he loved Her, doesn't mean she had...

Well, I don't recall we ever Saw that many rangers fighting. We saw Tennier, A Trainee. And Marcus was beaten almost to Death by Neroon, so he's Not the "best that ever swung a pike". And one Large misconception I saw above: Rangers are Not an "army" in the sense of going out to fight large...

Well, with Babylon 5, he made changes based on both His own ideas and on comments from Fans. That's why he spent several hours each Night online. In his own mind, he occasionally looked at things and said "I could do This instead of That and the story would get Better." Occasionally, the Fans...

No, No! The two most important questions remain the classics: What's for dinner? Your place or Mine? ------------------ Do not ascribe your own motivations to others: At best, it will break your heart. At worst, it will get you dead."

Lennier, we were arguing about 1 ton rocks, not entire asteroids. The rocks, at one ton, would be small enough to just load into a cargo hold, so the trip through Hyperspace would be a lot easier. And, no, I didn't say that the Centauri would drop them from orbit, just that the final...
