Re: 2nd viewing of Rangers, I have ALL THE ANSWERS
Ok,HERE WE GO.
I posted a theory a while back that David Martel was related to a certain MAJOR person from the B5 series. I now have good evidence to back my claim (and anyone who says it is not possible due to time line considerations, needs to apply as much doubt to their calculations as they would to my theory....)
David (also the known name of Sheridan's son) is talking to Sarah Cantrel saying that joining the rangers was
"my dream ever since my folks died"....would seem to counter my theory since GKar is in contact with Sheridan as stated later, but has anyone seen Star Wars? How did Luke end with Uncle Owen and Aunt Peru???
David also said that he got "shuttled around alot" and this will fit when I give me theory in detail later.....
(Also, at the end of David's conversation with Sarah, after he leaves, the camera pans to the background to see a sneaky Gkar listening with interest (perhaps keeping an eye on David for a close friend???)
Gkar enters the council meeting to decide David's fate, and when talking about David and how his friends are coming to his defense "very who can foster that kind of loyalty, one comes to mind, stubborn, difficult, annoying,....independant, and willful"
he is asked by a Minbari who this person is that he is comparing DAVID to.....
Gkar says "he became the president of this very allience"
followd by "with whom I just spoke with a few moments ago" about this and the other matter, why is Gkar reporting about some kid named DAVID to Sheridan, hmmmmmm??
Gkar supposedly told the council "4 true things" to convince the council to keep David in the Rangers, wouldn't telling them in confidence that David was the son of the Great Sheridan go along ways to convince them (and no Sheridan could not order it with out exposing their connection and abusing his position of power)....
For what it may add, Gkar then tells David that "what I said was of no consequence, at least <font color=yellow>not yet</font color=yellow> "Just don't prove me wrong." about a son of Sheridan ending up be a great ranger???? Very possibly.
After Gkar and David are through talking, the camera sits on the scen of the two of them for a number of seconds longer......long enough to show Gkar watching David out of the corner of his eye (dare I say with custodial approval, watch and judge for yourself)
All this happens in the first 1/4 of the movie, most of the revealing dialog, not to mention David's statement when taking command of the liandra about where he came from "No where in particular" and how each persons staements in that scene would seem to be setup for who they are later in the "series". Most of the first quarter of the movie is dialog and is spent developing most of the main characters, and very little else is Clearly Provided about David, but these and a few other hints, so how come most of these hints and gestures (mostly be Gkar, connected to Sheridan by his own admisson) seem to fit together in this way......
Facts: Sheridan had/has a son named DAVID
His son was/is in the rangers (according to B5)
Here is DAVID Martel
He is in the rangers (second coincidence??)
He is compared DIRECTLY to Sheridan by Gkar
Gkar is a close friend of Sheridan
Gkar intervenes to help this Ranger on trial, whom he has never met before
Gkar spoke to Sheridan about this "stranger", DAVID Martel, as well as about the new race recently discovered(How did this stranger Martel get equal time with this dangerous?, Hostile?, Aggresive?? new enemy in his conversation with Sheridan?????
Now ask this question.
If you were the President of the newly formed Interstellar Allience, a HUGE target (as well as all family) of enemies, a person considered to be "part myth", what could you do for your son to protect him from danger and the trouble and fame of being a Sheridan???
How about a foster family that could give him a new name, a fresh chance to choose his own life?
And who of your allies would you send to take care and look after him? A close friend considered by many to have good wisdom, perhaps?
When two lines meet, we can say "ah, an interesting coincidence", but when 4 or 5 lines meet, in a JMS writen Introduction to a Character, do we say the same thing"ah, what an interesting coincidence"?? I would not. JMS needed a thread to connect one series to the other, and knew he had laid the ground work for son of Sheridan (a major player in the future, most likely) as a ranger, than Lo and Behold a series based on the Rangers......
Some may not care, but for me such a possibility is a major shift in how the Rangers movie looks and feels, not to mention adding a future to a previously unseen character from the B5 series.
Ok, so I don't have ALL the answers /ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif , but there are alot more clues to truths in that movie than have been discussed. For my second installment I will address the Hand and the discussion about their "possible" connection to "Third Space". And I can promise you more evidence straight from the movie's mouth, so tune in later this week, same B5 time, same B5 channel. Good night. /ubbthreads/images/icons/laugh.gif /ubbthreads/images/icons/laugh.gif /ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/icons/rolleyes.gif
