joev5638, I'm basing My opinion on having been a Participant in some of the ongoing Online discussions with JMS since 1992. I've been an online Witness to the process and read JMS posts about what was happening and what He was thinking While he was writing the story. Plus, I've been Here when...

The reason the Raiders "prefer" that particular ship is simple: It's the "Volkswagen" of fighter craft. There are plenty of races which make their money selling Weapons & Ships to anyone who has Cash. The various Raider groups buy their ships from whoever has the Lowest price. After all, when...

The Vree ships were never identified as such in any Episode. They were IDed in a couple of the Online forums in response to question posted to JMS. There were too many ships and races to do any sort of "this race flies That Ship" dialogue in the show. We got acquainted with the ships of the...

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, arial">quote:</font><HR> You didn't contradict me at all. I said that if there is acceleration, it needs a lot of energy. You claim there isn't, but agree that grabbing the rock would cost energy.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Yes, the Warship equivalent of stopping...

We've had this discussion several times before. And the Evidence indicates that most of your speculation is Wrong. Here's a few quotes from JMS to illustrate: <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, arial">quote:</font><HR>About the marriage ceremony in "Parliament of Dreams"? The...

I don't know. I thought the ending of the third book and what finaly happened to Bester was one of the finest "poetic justice" endings ever. Fantastic use of Irony. Which, after all, IS the primary building material used in Babylon 5. Plus, Garibaldi's last encounter with Bester is...

Well, every time someone starts this discussion, we get to this point: "My mind is made up, Don't confuse me with Facts!" It doesn't matter what JMS said. These posters have figured it all out and that's That! ------------------ Do not ascribe your own motivations to others: At best, it...

BTW, do we really need that old photo array of the Personnel carrior getting blown up? All it does is force horizontal scroll without contributing to the discussion in any way. ------------------ Do not ascribe your own motivations to others: At best, it will break your heart. At worst, it...

Ok, you say you understand the basic physics. So, calculate the kinetic energy of that 1 ton rock dropping from a geostatioary orbit into the atmosphere. No big Delta V. Just enough to ensure it Enters the atmosphere and makes it to the ground. The Trip may take a Week or more, depending on...

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, arial">quote:</font><HR> ... and then 'throws' herself at Byron. Well, I guess it was JMS's version of the 'the nice guy always ends up with empty hands while the jerk gets the girl' story. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> You were expecting a Happy Ending?? Or...

Re: Cover of Centaurri Trilogy book III and Sheridan\'s beard You want to REally get an earfull on this subject, attend a con that has Authors & Artists as guests and ask Them what they think about the "cover art" business. Artists complain because they often get a single Page with a paragraph...

We know from "Sleeping In Light" that the Rangers Continued to use the White Star design. Sheridan's ship in SIL is even a smaller, one man version of a WS. From Crusade, we also know that the Excalibur is supposed to be the Meaner "Big Brother" ship. It looks very Different, but that is at...

Or, the Artist assigned to draw the concept sketches wasn't as familiar with Babylon 5 and Minbari as We are. I would agree that the ship's Captain can certainly manage to have his Bed set up the way He prefers to sleep. Those who read "To Dream in the City Of Sorrows" will remember...

I find it amazing hw much some of this sounds like the Kvetching that hapened about B5 in the first run. Here's an old post from JMS Usenet discussions that illustrates this: <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, arial">quote:</font><HR> One problem, of course, is that your message about...

Fourth Trilogy: Sorry, I misspoke. I meantto say the 3 Movie Novelizations. If you like those sort of books. There are things in the novelizations that didn't Fit on the screen. ------------------ Do not ascribe your own motivations to others: At best, it will break your heart. At worst...

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, arial">quote:</font><HR> This belief is reinforced by Kosh's resignation to his fate (even before he made the call), and the calm response of the Vorlon High Command. There was no attempt to protect him, and no angry reply when he was killed. Both...

Yes, they gave Bester a "Mental Mugging". And their ringleader also said that Bester almost beat the whole group. It was a desperation tactic, one that had evidently been tried on PsiCops before with little success. Ironheart's Modifications to Talia's talent was the only thing that allowed...
