Thanks for the answers, which were certainly not unanticipated. A couple of counterpoints to consider. Garibaldi is not "subtle" (The Gathering) and is not always governed by the same degree of diplomatic cordiality that the Commander is obligated to show. The Security Chief should ask the...

I've been watching my DVD set of Season One and while watching Legacies was perplexed at an inconsistency I've noted before, though not commented on. Those who have seen Legacies know that when the body of a great Minbari General is placed in a special room for viewing, Neroon insists on only...

Re: JMS and Z\'Ha\'Dum Defenses Thanks. Lyta and KoshN for the further suggestions, especially on how to submit questions to the moderated group. I'm a novice in that area. QMCO5

Re: JMS and Z\'Ha\'Dum Defenses Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, I don't have access to the Moderated group. QMCO5

Re: Captain Sheridan\'s Finest Hour This thread certainly went in a direction I didn't expect. I'm glad that Sheridan didn't succumb to temptation, because I believe it would be both morally and ethically wrong. An intimate or sexual relationship with the political officer, even though...

Re: JMS and Z\'Ha\'Dum Defenses Thanks KoshN for the suggestion. I'll try to find an email address for him and see if I can get an answer. If I do I'll share it here. QMCO5

JMS and Z\'Ha\'Dum Defenses Does anyone recall back when the episode "Z'Ha'Dum" aired in 1996 whether JMS addressed the question of how the White Star managed to penetrate the Shadows' city without being blown out of the sky by planetary defenses? The comment by G'Kar that the nuclear warheads...

Re: What\'s in a Wing Actually, the first episode had the term right. A "flight" is a group of four or more aircraft and is the most appropriate term for the number of starfuries based on B5. A "wing" is the largest organization involving aircraft found in the military services and includes...

I am surprised that Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers was only nominated for five Oscars. No nomination for Peter Jackson or for cinematography! What dunces!! QMCO5

What\'s in a Wing Being in the military I'm very interested in JMS's use of military customs and terminology. I was watching "Believers" and Ivanova takes out a "wing" to escort an Earth ship to B5. There was only one other starfury besides herself. In the first episode "Midnight on the...

Re: Babylon 5 Season 2 - More on ordering from TAU I went to order the S2 DVD from the Total Action website and discovered the ordering basket identified the price as 79.99. I contacted them again and got a further clarification. Their system is not currently set-up to display orders in U.S...

I don't think you folks are hitting on all cylinders. There are only two alternatives for assassination motives: (1) Kosh is actually the target and then one has to examine the usual motives for attempted murder; or (2) the assailant is trying to incite the Vorlons, whether to destroy Babylon...

I contacted Total Action Universe to find out why there was such a lower price than elsewhere, such as a limited quantity, and got this answer: "This is a great price on the "Babylon 5: Second Season" and it is only for a limited time (pre-order special). It began last week and I am advised...

I recently re-watched The Gathering and the motive for assassinating Kosh is still as fuzzy as ever. I've read Marc Carlson's analysis and his proposed reason that G'Kar wanted to start a war between the Vorlons and the EA doesn't seem to hold water. I can understand the lesser motive of the...

Thanks, Lord Refa. I like your answer. QMCO5

For you experts on the B5 universe I have a trivia question. In the fifth season episode "The Fall of Centauri Prime" Delenn's white star ship is attacked by Centauri vessels and put out of commission. When Sheridan is told of the situation he is informed that Delenn was "two jumps from...

I just watched Legend of the Rangers again. Still a great story and I'm disappointed again not to know which direction the story would take. What is the conventional wisdom as to whether JMS will ever produce a story, even in book form, that will explain The Hand, the mysterious race plaguing...

Re: G\'Kar question Hey, RW! The matter of G'Kar's status in the movie is unclear, except that he might be considered a "gun runner." Considering his fetus for females of other species and that Narns "sell to anyone with the credits" (Midnight on the Firing Line) he would probably learn other...

Greetings to familiar forum participants from SciFi.com/B5. I posted this message about a year and a half ago at SciFi.com/B5, so some of you may have seen it. But, I notice many unfamilar "handles" in this forum, so it may provoke some discussion with B5 re-running again...
