    Question about Eilerson spoiler

    As far as I know, no, Eilerson wasn't an ex Psi Cop or a sleeper agent certainly never mentioned in any official source at least. While it would be an interesting idea, as we see him on screen it wouldn't fly, plus it's been done already with Talia. David Allen Brooks put together a little...

    Real-world inspiration for Babylon 5 station?

    By Any Means Necessary was written by Kathryn Drennan (Joe's wife at the time). Now I'm not certain there's been any really big discussions around the logistics but you could always check on www.jmsnews.com You were at McMurdo? Are you sure you are who you say you are, didn't run into any...

    Biggest unanswered questions...

    Ret canned would be more appropriate a description, because as I said it changes nothing on screen. Although I wouldn't be so harsh in saying Sheridan's plan was stupid. He was invited to Z'ha'dum to learn what it was all about. Sheridan saw it as an opportunity to make a tactical strike against...

    Biggest unanswered questions...

    1. Well, sure, but which ones? And what sort of allies would have the firepower to attack the Shadows' homeworld in such a devastating fashion? This capability is far beyond Sheridan's attack with one ship and two warheads. The heavy cratering seems kind of similar to the effects of a Shadow...

    I don't think it retconned anything. Look at the sequence of events between Sheridan firing his PPG and then staggering along the cavern wall to the balcony. There's plainly been a bit of a battle as he's bloodied and his uniform is torn. All Jeanne's book does is fill in the events of that gap...

    Biggest unanswered questions...

    1. Probably bombed centuries ago by allies of the Vorlons.. 2. The Eye (controlled by an imprisoned Wierden for a thousand years) was turned away by Galen which allowed the White Star to approach unhindered. Reference Passing of the Techno-mages: Invoking Darkness 3. The Vorlons did NOT build...

    Telepathy - why not use it more often?

    No, as I posted above Cartagia had them killed. It's in the Centauri Prime novel.

    Telepathy - why not use it more often?

    The Taratimude weren't making waves because they were extinct, having wiped themselves out in fighting after Wierden founded The Circle from among the other races offered the tech. Yes, Carvin was Centauri and was Alwyn's apprentice. No The Vorlons are NOT responsible for the jumpgate...

    Telepathy - why not use it more often?

    Try watching "Secrets of the Soul" The Vorlons created Centauri telepaths, you see a Centauri neonate floating in an artificial womb there.

    Telepathy - why not use it more often?

    In 1258 with the extermination of the Xon, the new Centaurum chose the head of House Kiro (responsible for the final genocide of the Xon) to be the new Emperor. He consulted with the Taratimude techno-mages Frazur and his two associates before taking the Throne.

    Telepathy - why not use it more often?

    It's in the Centauri Prime novel Jan The Long Night of Centauri Prime. Cartagia had them shot as "he didn't want women poking into his mind."

    What was the original 5-year plan?

    Joe is on record as saying had Sinclair stayed it would have been pushing credulity for him to have a connection to both the Shadows AND the Minbari, so planned to bring a Sheridan like character in during Season 2. Interestingly in the pitch document from September 1989 Sinclair is...

    JMS' Viewing Order

    Why? It's not correct and certainly NOT the authorised jms chronological viewing order.

    Reading Between The Lines - The Gathering

    Yeah, Londo didn’t turn up to greet G’Kar on his arrival, he was gambling in the casino

    Theory on "In the Beginning"

    No just the four. While it wasn't specifically spoken about it certainly didn't seem to be a secret.

    Pretty much as I saw it :thumbsup: Joe authorised it and he posted on the matter, which I copied at the top of the thread.
