Re: A Call to Arms: Fighting for the original cas My only complaint: the "B5 Bucks" look too cute to give away. After printing and trimming them "double-sided and forgery quality", I had serious trouble convincing myself to send them away. :o But eventually I did... along with a short...

Re: A Call to Arms: Fighting for the original cas Every opening week must be followed by something (or the opening will be considered poor indeed). While not among *first* viewers... eventually I too received an opportunity to watch B5 (and buy the DVD disks). Since nobody from Warner...

Re: A Call to Arms: Fighting for the original cas I have already sent them an ordinary letter... but to ease their accounting... I will send them my "monetary contribution" in clearly recognizable form. As issued by the Central Bank of Minbar. And since I suspect Joe is correct to mention...

Perhaps they initially used willing hosts, until someone supercharged the breeding program... decided they wanted more/stronger telepaths than nature, technology and willing donors could offer. It would naturally go without saying... that for a totaliatarian system like the Corps, all...

Simply. One of them got personally involved. We already know that Vorlons can move though walls, without leaving a hole... so why should Shadows not? One simply boarded the ship... took the Eye (from the hands of some *rather surprised* Raider)... and left the ship before the Shadow vessel...

Not nearly. Having sent my letter... I have merely taken all the precautions I considered feasible. They know what I want... and what would disappoint me. Whether they read or discard my opinions... I cannot influence. Their turn. I wait now.

That is (more or less)... how the technomage trilogy described it. I would however note... that Galen possessed no "strategy" to defeat the Shadows, merely a tactical hint, a single-occasion exploit... usable once. It was findable without him. Shadow "strategy" on the other hand... was focused...

Few things in space... can remain stationary relative to each other, without wasting fuel. "Parking the gate" and then "unparking it" would be possible (maneuver into Lagrange point, manouver out again)... but rest assured, it would be a most unpractical and fuel-expensive activity. While the...

Error admitted and corrected: Since B5 occasionally enters the shadow of the planet... it cannot be located at any of the Lagrange points. Instead, it must quite conventionally orbit the planet.

To my impression, B5 was "parked" at some Lagrange point between the planet and its star. This would mean it doesn't orbit around the planet... but travels together with it... somewhat closer to the star. Where the gate could be... I cannot tell. Possibly orbiting the star as well... perhaps at...

At present time, I can only confirm two letters from Estonia.

Re: uh-oh....this doesn\'t sound good. I would like to agree... to declare the entire possibility "too foolish to believe"... and to expect everything to be fine. However, I have an inherent suspicion towards the opposite... a habit of considering the worst case. On the background of...

Re: uh-oh....this doesn\'t sound good. Ouch. :eek: Being the worst-case optimist I am... for me this confirms that there is something *undesirable* going on. I only hope that many people will write (and that my letters both to England and US arrived)... because currently, I have employed...

Re: uh-oh....this doesn\'t sound good. Thanks for telling. In that case, perhaps a small chance exists... that they haven't decisively blundered... yet?

Re: uh-oh....this doesn\'t sound good. That they are looking for someone to fill in for Galen... makes it plausible that they *will* substitute any original character. Perhaps, without the information having reached us, they are actually looking for substitutes for other characters too. I am...

Re: uh-oh....this doesn\'t sound good. Elstree: sent. Warner: sent. Dear Sir or Madam, First of all, please permit me to apologize. I could be wasting both of our valuable time, with nothing more but a rumour. However, via people better informed than myself, I have received two interesting...

Re: uh-oh....this doesn\'t sound good. Too early to speak of certainties... ...but to be honest, both can abandon both. If Warner makes the mistake of recasting old roles... I will *not* financially support their mistake. Out of curiosity, I might pirate a copy... but for an "experimental"...

When not alerted to unavoidable things (Babylon 4, the vessel being excavated, and the Ranger base under siege) Sheridan himself "hid" quite similarly... because he too was at loss... regarding how to take initiative against Shadows. Humanoid civilizations, likewise their arrangements for...

I would somewhat disagree. Arrogance is likely to detriment consideration of enough options. It can easily result in finding the *wrong* answer to a difficult question. Ability to recognize that something isn't sufficiently clear to decide... is a vital precondition to *finding out* which...

Nothing in the Z'ha'dum affair... with that I possibly agree. But if you meant "nothing ever"... I must disagree. In certain later decisions, Sheridan exhibited far worse properties, to describe which "arrogance" would be quite a mild expression. (For example, the affair with the modified...
