We know that Earthforce was using the Furies in the Earth/Minbari War. But now, in the new DVD movie they are still using Furies. In fact, they seem to be considered top of the line. Otherwise the Centauri prince probably wouldn't be that impressed by them. That is 25 years of use for one...

Fine. Though I still get the idea at Corianna that the Shadows and Vorlons would've gladly picked off all 8,000 of Sheridans ships before fighting each other.

Yet despite both sides having 10,000 ships there, the Vorlons were continuing their campaign of destroying other worlds with any taint of Shadow influence. Remember the Vorlon planet destroyer blotting out the sun over Centauri Prime? It was only called away when Sheridan made his play.

Except I don't think that would've happened. The only times that the Vorlons were shown engaging the Shadows directly was in the episode where the Shadows killed Kosh (original) in retaliation. In the battle in that episode, the Vorlons were shown to have near complete superiority over the...

There was plenty of stuff blown up in the final battle. It just wasn't a military victory that actually "won" it. Realistically, the way the power of the Shadows and Vorlons was set up there was no way that Sheridans forces were going to win a straight up battle. The only battle where...

Nice work. But then in science fiction, I'm a shipoholic.

My thinking would be that you could have something happen to the original Excalibur crew (Gideon and the others). Accidental exposure to the Drakh plague forcing them to be stranded somewhere in isolation. Political opposition from Gideons enemies forcing their removal. Stuff like that...

I've been wondering that if they decided to restart the series Crusade, could an entirely new crew of the Excalibur be used since the originals I'm assuming would be too old by the time this would come about? Given what little I know about JMS's plans for Crusade I was wondering if the story...

It can travel interstellar distances with relative ease. Thus, it's a starship by definition. Any kind of station is supposed to be "stationary". Hence the term.

Well if you want to get technical. The Death Star was not a space station by any means. It was a giant starship. Of course, then again so was Babylon-4.

I think we can count on JMS to handle the deaths of the actors (and thus missing characters) far more smoothly and competently than most television shows do.

I personally cannot stand the organic ship designs.

Yeah, thats the one I was referring to. I had forgotten about other delta winged B-5 shuttle. The more I rewatch it, the more I remember just what a dang good show Babylon-5 was. I believe that there was one year when Babylon-5 was on, in a given week you could see Babylon-5, Space:Above &...

The wikipedia article on the Leonov says that it inspired the Omega class destroyer. And I remember reading that the StarFury was deliberately meant to echo the X-Wing fighter. But I recall nothing about the B-5 shuttle. I'm wondering that the shuttle being capable of atmospheric flight...

I've just gotten through watching "Babylon Squared". I'm a Babylon-4 junkie. The episode featured several good shots of the B-5 shuttles. Is it my imagination or do the B-5 shuttles share a striking resemblence to the forward portion of the original Battlestar Galactica?

One more Babylon-4 question. I'll admit to being somewhat obsessed with that station. But I've read in at least two sources that Babylon-4 was capable of moving under its own power. That it had a huge ion engine and could move and manuever at least somewhat. Is this true?

By the way, why did the Minbari agree to help fund the Babylon-5 station after apparently having little interest in the first four? It would seem to me that the Minbari would've had good information from the last Shadow War about the Babylon-4 station that ultimately became their base which...

Are their any good screen captures or images.......or better yet schematics for Babylon-4 anywhere?

Re: Technomages and Their Tech (implants) Was the giant transdimensional jump gate builf by the Vorlons (Thirdspace) built near Epilson 3 or did it just drift through hyperspace to that general direction?

Some thought Sinclairs speach was kind of awkward. I liked it though.
