I assume that you've received permission to use the Babylon 5 trademark in your for-profit venture?

>that sweater I caught that too. "That sweater". Enough said. >poor judge of character Well, I sort of see it. It's easy to overlook "Damn Bonehead cut in front of me at the grocery story today, go back to Minbar already!" when you're with somebody that looks that incredibly dreamy in a...

Related question... Was Ironheart more powerful than the Vorlons? He could reshape matter with his mind and had become pure energy with no form. The Vorlons still had physical form and were never shown to have telekinetic power, to my knowledge.

The shot actually traveled in that trajectory for another million years and struck Jason Ironheart beyond the Rim. The Vorlons play the long game, and humanity wasn't ready.... =]

> try to ignore those faults so that I can keep enjoying the series. I'm usually commenting on these threads the day after I've watched the episode. I'm sure I forget dozens of the random minutiae that my brain picks out while I'm watching but most of it doesn't really stick in my head for...

I'm gonna break with tradition and start out with something positive. I liked Koenig in this one. Koenig holds a weird place in my mind. ("There is a hole... in your mind...") Young Koenig is Chekov, and I don't dislike him, but nothing about that role distinguished him as an actor. Old...

I've said in the other threads that I focus mainly on the negative stuff because it's easier to talk about than what I like. If something works for me I just kind of accept it, but if something stands out as odd then I comment on it. I come across as mostly negative, but I really wouldn't keep...

Sinclair's stunt at the end is dumb. How much did that cost to fly in and room all those people? And the represenation of their religion is to say their name and religion, and what clothes they wear? How uninformative is that? I bet the aliens all thought that our religion involves shaking...

I remember disliking this episode in the past, but I rewatched it last night and can't really remember why. Not to say that it was an awesome episode, but for being the first episode filmed it's hardly an atrocity. Maybe I'm getting more accepting in my old age. I'm also not remembering why I...

>Centauri marrying for love Having just read the Legions of Fire series which deals with the Centauri between the end of the show and the.... things that deal with Centauri for two decades after the show, they went into it a smidge. Basically it's the same as monarchies in the past. The...

Civilian TV also has no requirement to be 100% live though. So it can buffer the show ahead of time and play it in complete chunks as needed. I'm having trouble thinking of civilian uses of communication as well though. Isn't there something like that with the Mars troubles later on though...

That rings a bell now. Apparently it's been long enough that I'm forgetting these things.

>GC membership Didn't Delenn become a member when her mentor was killed and she just took his place? Her very first act was screaming to kill the humans, as I recall. From that point on, it's just been one emotional outburst after another. She does not have the poise required to make her a...

Bah, note to self: Confirm reply has posted before hitting back button. Anyway, the book was written by Peter David. I'm not sure if it's canon, but he did write 2 episodes for the show.

>video game It seemed a Virish thing to do. I wasn't super-amused but it didn't take me out of the episode. At least, until they showed the front. Technology showing its age. I can understand not wanting to do some fancy sci fi VFX shot for it, but at least leave it to the imagination...

>ring of power Thought you might be mildly interested to know that the "ring of power" is referred to again in the book "Legions of Fire - Out of the Darkness". Just an offhanded comment about her having had to use a gravity ring on G'Kar in the past, but it was mentioned.

>Delenn's violent outburst Agreed, not in-character. I'm glad the "random character grabs a gun when angry" meme didn't stick. In the first two episodes, it's got a 100% appearance rate. >magical death-sense I agree with you that there's no non-magical explanation presented, but this is the...

> not sure I would have missed (space battles) if they hadn't been included. They're not enough to carry the show, I agree, but I believe they won several awards for them. It's a nice addition to everything else. > I thought it was a shame that style pretty much disappeared later on for a more...

I'm fully aware that I may be over-analyzing things which is causing this "setup" feeling. One way or another, I should get over it in a few episodes. I'm not quite sure I like tG 'better' than MotFL, but it's more memorable. I'm assuming there was a bigger budget, more airtime, more...
