I wasn't too sure of just where I should start this thread. A thread meant to remind all B5 fans about the detail of the B5 universe.
Some over time have complained about LotR, stating that JMS was simply making up some new big baddie enemy with The Hand. A one-trick-pony kinda thing (even though JMS absolutely despises the thought being considered such).
I was watching some of the special features on the movie DVD's....specifically his intro to TS. It is there that JMS again reiterates that he has the B5 universse mapped out "in detail 1000 yrs in either direction."
Now...does anyone still think The Hand wasn't something more that would've been revealed later had a series been picked up, something JMS already was aware of and planned for?
He's very adamant about the detail and knowing exactly what happens in the B5 universe. So I refuse to accept that The Hand was nothing more than an, "oh, a need a new big bad guy alien...something like the Shadows."
Nope, this was planned and we would've found out some wowing revelation about just who they were had the Rangers series been done.
Lastly, a question: After watching TS again (hadn't seen it in years), I was wondering...could they have been or had something to do with The Hand? Not saying they were or did, just wondering what you all thought.
Personally, I never doubt JMS on anything in the B5 Universe, simply because he does have it mapped out in such detail. He knows the universe and where it's been and it's going. So everything is a part of the larger tale.
