Re: Technomages and Their Tech (implants) Thats one thing that made it a great show.

I have trouble with tieing the Vorlons and/or Shadows to EVERY thing in the B-5 universe.

Weren't the aliens who attempted to take control of the Great Machine (in the episode where it was introduced) supposed to be related in some way to the Machines creators? Though they didn't build it themselve? They didn't bring to mind any Vorlons.

I wonder if the presence of the Great Machine was why that sector of space ended up between the great empires of the galaxy and apparently never claimed by anyone.? It would be no problem for the Great Machine to make Minbari, Human, Narn, Centauri, Vorlon.........probes, ships, etc. to...

Given that Clarks Admin. was influenced by the Shadows heavily (remember Morden, who always had an escort of Shadows, sitting in on a meeting with Clark representatives) I would think that he would want to have little to do with telepaths. Ironically, Sheridans forcing the Shadows to leave...

I've heard also that the experience of the Mormons (and I believe Larson is a Mormon) being forced from their homes in the Midwest across the U.S. to Utah did feature heavily in Larsons thinking of the Galacticas "quest". And I knew full well that the original Galactica had more viewers than...

Star Trek went on......and on........and on.......after the death of its creator, Gene Roddenberry. And Roddenberry and no real influence for years before that. Battlestar:Galactica is now reimagined (radically I say) outside the control and influence of its creator Glen A.Larson. Various...

I think it might be stretching things to think that the Shadows had a hand in all the misfortune that befell the Babylon stations. Just wondering. Babylon-5 is supposed to be "the last of the Babylon stations". Why? Apparently, B-5 was a tremendous success both in peace and wartime to say...

I loved Visitors From Down The Street if for no other reason than the thing with the sewer pipe leak causing that smell no one could find while riding the tube. And how Gideons shaking of it dumps a load of crap on his security team.

In "In The Beginning" I believe Londo, in telling the story to the children mentions the total number of humans killed as about "a quarter million". He also says that up to Sheridan & Franklins peace mission to the Minbari (which was just after the Blackstar was destroyed by Sheridan) that "50...

One might also wonder why the particular location for Babylon-5 was chosen at all. Was it ever mentioned anywhere that the location was particularly accessible to all the major alien races? Note, if the location of the Babylon stations was so centralized it would make an excellent military...

JMS made a good point about "A View From the Gallery" regarding the complaint from fans that nothing was ever known about the aliens. Not even their names. He pointed out that the story was the viewpoint of the two maintenance guys. And guys like that would NEVER know anything about the...

I think suggesting that Earth somehow "won" the Earth/Minbari War is a vast overstatement. Sure, the Minbari "surrendered". That is when they were on the verge of annihilating Earth they stopped shooting and pulled their forces back. As it is, the Minbari virtually destroyed Earths fleet...

Do I understand correctly that the alien governments did not contribute to the work on the first four stations. That Earth only sought assistance on B-5 due to the enormous loss in materials and capital that they lost when B-4 disappeared? Two more questions: 1) What purpose were the...

We know the first three Babylon stations were apparently destroyed by sabotage when nearly completed. I believe according to Jinx in "Grail" Babylon station (they called it "one" later) had its superstructure collapse. Babylon 3 exploded. No mention how Babylon 2 was destroyed. I seem...

I loved "And Now For A Word" where a news team was covering B-5. I especially loved the part where the newswoman talked about "our exclusive interview with Vorlon Ambassador Kosh"..........when in actuality it was the news team running after Kosh as he made a hasty escape. And the PsyCorps...

Re: What were the \"worst\" B-5 Episodes? I don't know about worst scenes. What about the "Teddy Sheridan" hitting the cockpit canopy of the Star Fury?

^Fully agreed about the weapons system. At first I thought it looked like a rather cool idea. But then it started to look ludicrous with the weapons officer seeming to gyrate their in space when multiple weapons fire was required. I'd rather see the ship firing than weapons fire coming our...

Not a clue

What were the \"worst\" B-5 Episodes? Judging by peoples reviews of episodes here, it seems that the vast majority of B-5 episodes are viewed very favorably. I understand. The "Best of Babylon-5" in my view would run some 50 episodes long or more. With most of the remainder at least being...
