    Did Sheridan Misuse His Authority?

    Well, kind of. Both at Mars and the Earth colonies, he used alien ships against Earth forces. And just because they had "declared" independence, doesn't make it any more or less legal. Sheridan was aware of the symbolism of having Minbari ships attacking Earth itself. So he kept it a pure...

    JMS-sponsored B5 auctions

    If we had been quick, we could have made a lottery where we bought the medal, and then drew lotts about who got it. JMS rightfully deserves the money for this. And it's "fair". ;)

    Sheridan and the Exclaibur ?

    Plus, even the Vorlons might have missed some technological developments. The South Americans built rather advanced civilizations without inventing the wheel. Many people are using Microsoft products, etc.

    Question about the Earth Civil War

    I guess Earth does a lot of trading and exploring. The big empires were built on a combination of trade and military might. You don't necessarily need many colonies to be a player. The Dilgar war. Yep. Earth intervened on behalf of the non-alligned worlds when the other large governments...

    R2 B5 Releases

    Add to that that the version released in e.g. Germany and Norway was the old version.... It's pretty much hit-or-miss.

    Babylon 5 novels and graphic novels

    The rest of you might hate me for this, but I have to say it: TonyLee is probably safer from story ideas if he posted on rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.moderated. He could drop in here on b5tv.com and tell us news without reading our discussions, though.. Or am I overly paranoid?

    Jerry Doyle, radio star!

    Re: Hilarious caller: \"Hi Jerry, you coward!\" The Jerry Doyle show is now giving the wacky callers the soundboard treatment. John Kimle: "I'm gonna ask you a bunch of questions, and I want them IMIDIATELY!" or Judge Judy: "Hello!?" If you've heard the prank calls and seen the soundboard...

    Newbie questions (spoiler questions)

    To Dream in the City of Sorrows you can read whenever you please after watching season 4. After finishing season 5, and the TV movies and Crusade (in JMS's preferred viewing order, not the order on the DVD), I'd go with The Shadow Within first, then the Technomage Trilogy, and last the Centauri...

    Sympathy for the Actor

    Sympathy for the Actor by Dennis Michael I think you'll enjoy it.

    Crusade Question ?

    Well, that would make more sense of the exactish 5 year estimate. But I was of the impression that they would find a cure faster, just as the virus is quicker than was expected, and then become a fugitive ship... What parts of this did I get right?

    The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe.

    Do you mean this one, and its sequels?

    Babylon 5 novels and graphic novels

    Quite. Since WB own the book rights, and have licenced it to Mongoose, they could really do whatever they please with the licence. (Unless there's some contractual obligation to contact JMS, which I don't think there is.) However, "JMS approved" and canon is a stamp of quality to those who...

    Another War WIthout End question

    Oh, wait. In Londo's dream, G'Kar was missing an eye. So it did make sense that he should save the eye that does not see. Well, that would work to get Cartagia's wrath turned away from G'Kar and towards Londo. But not too much, then, because if Londo didn't remove Cartagia, who would? Somebody...

    Another War WIthout End question

    There's no similarity between the B5 universe and Tolkien's Middle Earth. None, what so ever, I tell you! :p When it comes to what the Eye actually is, there is a twist to it that makes the B5 universe quite different to the Lord of the Rings.

    Another War WIthout End question

    GKarsEye: Yeah. I get that. But I can't see how it's the "eye that does not see" while he still has it? What world-changing consequences did the removal have, though...except making G'Kar hate the Centauri even more than what he did before? Can we see eye to eye on this? (Fun fact here, my...

    Another War WIthout End question

    Well, Londo kind of did "save the eye that does not see", in that he saved G'Kar. If "save the eye that does not see" meant stopping G'Kar's eye from being cut out, that doesn't make any sense. The eye did see, untill it was cut out. And then how do you "save" that eye? Putting it in a jar and...

    Re-watching Crusade

    You're thinking in exactly the right lanes. If healing was one of the purposes for which the Tech was made, Galen would be as good as healer as Ing-Radi or anybody else, save for his bedside manner. :cool: However, if healing was only accheived through complicated spells, and did things for...
