Anyone here read this trilogy by Philip Pullman? It's another case in which I tremble at how it will be portrayed on film.

B5_Obsessed, that was so e-vil. I laughed out loud! Jendia

How many eps in Season 2 was Keffer in? Not that he was a terribly interesting character overall, but he did have a pivotal role.

Definitely Kosh. He gave us more than "one moment of perfect beauty."

Seems logical to me, JMS would go for "cool factor," and either have the technomages, the telepaths, or both in the film. I'm hoping for both! Jendia

I can think of really only one good point. Let me just say that the original Star Wars was the first movie I ever saw in a theater--age 3, mind. There's one good point in those prequels...and that's Obi-Wan Kenobi. Period. He's the only character with charisma in the films thus far. I think I...

I agree that portraying Galen as having so much power undermined Sheridan. It's too convenient, and while I mostly enjoyed the stories, and Galen is one of my favorite characters, this particular aspect left me feeling uneasy about the books. Jendia

Perhaps so, KoshFan. They might go together like Shadows and Vorlons! Can't have that, now, can we? Jendia

Re: A newbie\'s journey It's from following his "journey" that took me back to this site. I was searching for B5 stuff and found the home theater forum. It's been loads of fun to follow his reactions; I hope he warms up to S4 soon! Jendia

I think it would be most fitting if JMS was able to go with Weta. Consider his praise upon Peter Jackson's work with Lord of the Rings! Personally I think it would rock the universe if Jackson and JMS somehow teamed up in the future. Can you imagine??? Cheers....Jendia

What happened between B5 and Crusade with the TPs? And whatever happened to Lyta Alexander? There was a telepath war at some point, but when would that have occurred? Thanks! Jendia ;)

Hey there, B5_Obsessed!! I haven't seen you since I used to post on the SciFi bulletin board, ages ago. I sure wish JMS would write down the canon story. Then maybe we could all get a definitive answer. But yeah, Valen & Sinclair are one and the same, it's just the time factor that spirals...

I'll buy that, that his purpose was to make sure 1.) The Shadows didn't win the first time around 1000 years previously. 2.) Delenn was born. This is along the lines of Terminator, that Sarah Connor and Kyle existed only to make sure John Connor was born so that he could fight against the...

Oh, do get the books! These are "canon": To Dream in the City of Sorrows The Shadow Within (good to read before the Technomage books, or after, your choice) Also, the Centauri Prime trilogy is also good, and the Psi Corps trilogy is entertaining. But the first book I mentioned, you must read...

That's pretty much what I assumed too. I didn't see a reason for Valen to die and be reincarnated. But then, I would like it if we knew what happened to Valen. Also...did he marry Sakai in the past? I think I recall reading that he did find her after he (being Siclair at the time) lost her...

I would imagine Delenn as being quite a bit older than the B5-time period Sinclair, so that is still a possibility. Aren't the Minbari significantly longer lived than humans? So if Delenn was a little girl, and Minbari are longer lived, Sinclair might not even have been born at that time...

Basically, I mentioned his going into a state of "suspended animation" as a sort of resolution to the paradox for the body that was never found. Of course, I'd love to hear other people's theories on resolving the paradox. It's loads of fun to come up with different stories. I think it would...

Well, in the book, To Dream in the City of Sorrows, we get a hint that Valen is closer to Kosh than Ulkesh; however, I never sensed the same closeness that Sheridan had, either. But there is more than enough evidence in the book that he DID get along with Kosh, and so maybe that sort of thing...

So, I mentioned this on my "Confessions and Lamentations" reply. We were discussing Delenn having a vision of Valen. Some folks have theorized that he could have been there via more instances of time travel. Has anyone else thought of this? And could the Vorlons have kept Valen in stasis...

Re: Delenn\'s Story in Confessions and Lamentations Actually the whole topic about Valen going back and forth occurred to me as well, since his body was never found. Some people hypothesized that the Vorlons could have kept Valen in stasis. I think this is worthy of its own post.... Jendia :)
