At this point, a spoiler warning feels un-necessary, but just in case there are B5 latecomers, this post has season 3 spoilers that are connected to a storyline started in season 1...
SPOILERS
Babylon 4 was taken back in time and given to the Minbari by Valen and a couple of Vorlons. This brings up a couple questions...
1. If the Minbari took over Babylon 4 1000 years ago, wouldn't they have been able to learn about Humans from computer data, signage, technology, aesthetic design style, written language and number system used on mechanical parts throughout the station, etc.? If so, why didn't the Minbari know more about Humankind when they encountered them before the start of the Earth-Minbari War?
2. How did Sinclair/Valen hook up with the Vorlons that were with him on the Station? Did he have to contact them, did they come on the station out of curiosity, did they somehow have knowledge of the future such that they expected B4 to show up, and if not, then how did Sinclair convince the Vorlons to stand with him?
