I seem to recall it was said in To Dream in the City of Sorrows that Minbari are all tri-lingual, fully able to understand the language of all three castes (though as Lennier mentions when discussing his studies of languages there are many dialects of these languages - regional? Clan-based?)...

It wasn't brought up much. but remember there was a kind of space-esperanto called Interlac that could have been used in some places. Though I would imagine most of the inter-species stuff on B5 would be in English. Cartagia would surely be speaking Centauri. Any broadcasting of him could have...

These guys are right. The Season 4 episode "The Face of the Enemy" spells this out explicitly, when Bester debriefs and de-programs Garibaldi and the Psi-Corp kills William Edgards and takes the Telepath virus he was working on. The Lurker's Guide sums this up: "When Justin told Sheridan that...

Doh! I ordered the book before looking here. Oh well, I'll use the coupon code as an excuse to buy a couple of quote mugs! Thanks Jan. :)

Well, I'm sold! I should get paid on Monday, I think it might be time to pick up some BSG music. Cheers, B5Fan! :)

Craziness, craziness! People voting LotR 'A', and In The Beginning 'F'! Are we in Bizzaro-world or something? Me am no confused! I can't believe ItB has more 'Failure' votes than LotR, even if one of them was admitted as a joke!

Ditto. :^)

He's certainly very good, though I couldn't personally compare him to Chrisopher Franke, they're too different in style. I'm one of those who really liked his (McCreary's I mean!) version of 'All Along The Watchtower'. Do you have any of the BSG soundtrack on CD? Is it worth buying? I remember...

That had occurred to me, too. I was considering stating that that was going to be my final post on the matter because I wasn't going to carry on discussing BSG in a B5 forum, but thought that would sound huffy and stuck-up.

Ok, first of all I could just as easily say: Unfortunately, Babylon5fan07 it appears to you that my opinion is wrong and you're right so I guess there is no point in trying to continue this conversation with you. (Spelling fixed because I'm an anal retentive, not intended as a jibe at you.)...

I did say I wasn't getting into the debate over whether or not the cylons deserved the same extermination they attempted on humanity, and I'm not even getting into all your apples and oranges comparisons to B5 situations. There has been no indication in BSG that any model of cylons as a whole...

Leaving aside the specific question you're asking, you're conveniently overlooking quite a lot when you decide the majority of the 7 models are not particularly bad guys. They were all directly behind the deaths of billions and the attempted total genocide of the human race in the miniseries...

Indeed. Vol 11 will take it up from there with the tumultuous series of events that lead to the S5 we got. As for the other stuff, if I remember tonight I'll check which books I'm thinking of for those things, though thye should surely be the ones that include the relevant scripts for those...

Except that as JMS saw it (and I can see his point), that would have been rather a mighty coincidence, hence why he has said he'd want to bring in a Sheridan-like character with a connection with the shadows regardless, because Sinclair had enough going on with him with the whole Line\soul\Valen...

You know, that's all very interesting stuff that hadn't occurred to me before, Telepath. However, one thing about the way it turned out that I really love, is that we kind of get two incredible "Hero's Journey" myth-arcs instead of just one: The Sinclair\Valen\B4 story that culminates in War...

Jan, it sounded to me like Telepath was more interested in Sinclair -> Sheridan story changes than O'Hare -> Boxleitner behind the scenes stuff. In which case the books do get into the reasoning (from a story perspective) when discussing things like the more personal connection to the Shadows...

Short answer - yes. In my opinion. So far JMS has gone into a fair amount of detail (not as much as I'd like, but would anything ever meet that?) about his reasoning, and the circumstances, behind story decisions. Obviously there's stuff that hasn't been covered yet, with hopefully a pretty...

I certainly got a bit of an ambiguous lesbian vibe off Day of the Dead. I do love writing that leaves things like that vaguely undefined. I like not knowing for definite to what extent the two of them were close. As JMS is fond of quoting, "to define is to kill, to suggest is to create."...

Not to blow my own trumpet, but I think my order (or VacantLook's) is the simplest. It also has the advantage of being the order they were made (bar my own sliding up of Legend of the Rangers) making it the easiest way to avoid spoiling episodes or lessening their impact. Complicating things...

I agree (with the exception of watching Legend of the Rangers before A Call to Arms and Crusade). The Gathering Seasons 1-4 Thirdspace & In The Beginning Season 5 River of Souls, Legend of the Rangers & A Call to Arms Crusade Really works best that way, in my opinion. As for The Gathering...
