Well, you finally get to the point! :lol:

The issue isn't biology, but control. Rape isn't just about sex, it is also about power. The breeding program doesn't just produce telepathic babies, it demonstrates to the adult telepaths that they are part of, and subject to, a totaltarian regime that demands not just obediance but loyalty...

Not a stellar episode, but some of the better comic acting in the series. I didn't really see many of the classic B5 themes here other than "faith manages." Still, there were no obvious clunkers (other than our expecting to take "Jinxo" seriously at the end after working against that idea for...

Yes, but remember that the fly-over was not Sheridan's idea, but Delenn's (and Londo's and G'Kar's). Sheridan had been isolated by Luchenko and co to answer purely earth-related questions. The fly-over was an announcement, in no uncertain terms, that "there was a new sheriff in town," that the...

Re: What\'s your favorite dvd set? Crusade was the best visual transfer, but the S4 extras were better than any of the other sets, and the opening credits were worth watching all 22 times!

I find it interesting that the spread of opinion of the "best trilogy" is so even, and in fact the spread on "worst trilogy" also seems quite even. Each series offered something a little different (the Psi Corps trilogy more backstory before the B5 series even started, the Centauri series more...

Book 3, pages 216 and 217. Pages 33-34 describe how he knew the pattern of the attacks and wanted to fill Sheridan in.

But Sheridan's realization of the Shadow strategy and his decision to muster the fleet, at great risk to his allies, was the turning point of the entire Shadow War. One of the great moments of the series is when Delenn returns to the council chamber to find it empty of all save one Drazi. It...

Re: uh-oh....this doesn\'t sound good. Their website says It is entirely possible that these casting sheets were put together long ago and are just now seeing the light of day. I don't think it hurts too much to refer to the company by one of its old names, but to be correct we should use...

Planet-moon Lagrange points orbit the planet, of course, exactly as the moon does. I don't think the movement of the gate would have any effect on interstellar travel, as everything is in motion compared to everything else. What works against the idea of the station and gate being at the L4...

Actually, I think you are on the right track. How about this twist: the people who advise/militarily support Luchenko fear Sheridan personally. Not because he was the head of the force that overthrew Clarke, but because they were actively trying to kill him a coupla days before, and they...

Even the Ivanova subplot was too heavy-handed for me. I know DiTillio was trying to show that the humans were not universally loved (a Centauri could fight, a human could not) and that Ivanova's career came at a price, but there are ways to handle those issues without hitting me over the head...

I stil don't know how the Season 3 Bester (the bestest Bester) didn't beat Zathras, but I said Neroon from the start and Neroon it still is.

I believe he is referring to Galen visiting Sheridan on B5 and essentially saving the poor clueless dolt from losing the Shadow War. That was just tacky writing - it was completely unnecessary to the plot (which I don't say about the Z'Ha'Dum encounter) and all it did was build up Galen at the...

Zemageing, the very thread you state inspired you to start this thread had a section in it where the issue of "reading JMS's personal life from his online behavior" came up, and Jan in particular found that offensive and said so. You came here, created a very, very long post and included in one...

The episode around which the show turns. I literally was left "WTF!" at the end, and determined that I would never miss another episode (I thought at the time that the Shadow ship was no big deal to the fans, because I had missed a coupla eps, until I talked with my business partner the next...

But Luchenko gets to appear (in light of Clarke's obvious insanity) much like the French Government in Exile in 1944 Paris if she is the sole legit successor. Why does it resemble the 1942-43 struggle over "who was legitimate" if the question was not around? If Luchenko was firmly in command of...

Re: uh-oh....this doesn\'t sound good. They could can the whole thing right now and have no one to answer to, because it hasn't been announced and so it doesn't exist. No, if true, the only things that make sense about recasting as I see it are: 1. It involves a few (not many, or it isn't...

I always was under the impression that she was in power after Clarke died not as a "natural successor" but rather as an assertion of power by the Russian Consortium, the largest remaining legitimate political body after Clarke "nazified" the western equivelent. She herself did not act directly...

That is two more than they were expecting, I'll bet! Worth their weight in gold.
