    What is SciFi Channel Waiting For?

    To answer the Original question: Sci Fi would be waiting for the Right Moment to announce. Making such announcements is an "Ego" related thing. After they get through squabbleing over the Minor stuff like Money, they get to the Important questions of: Who Gets Their Name(s) in the Paper? Who...

    Where is everyone getting this?

    Ok, thanks. I couldn't find my copy right away, so I couldn't check the number. So, joev5638 has all the Dell books. But still has the Dell Rey trilogies to look forward to. Oh, I also forgot to mention the Babylon 5 Cook Book. It was published in England and is Very Difficult to find, last I...

    Excalibur: ISA or EA ship?

    I doubt much of anything was left of the Victory. And whatever Was left would be nicely Fried from the resulting Explosions. Plus, considering that it was Rammed into a rather large chunk of Shadow Tech, it might take a while to decide which pieces came from Where. The Shadow Planet Killer...

    Where is everyone getting this?

    You posted that you have the "9 Dell books". Yes, there are more. I believe Dell published 10. Look for "To Dream in the City of Sorrows" Written by Kathryn Drennan Release date: June 1997 ISBN: 0-440-22354-7 (US) ISBN: 0-7522-2354-2 (UK) I think that was the last (and Best) of the Dell...

    vorlons vs shadows

    <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, arial">quote:</font><HR> how really powerful the shadows and vorlons are. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Well, the Vorlon Planet Killer was about the size of a small Moon. And, when it attacked, the planet was Gone. Not messed up. Gone. Except for a truckload or...

    Captian Lochley?

    Well, strictly speaking we don't Know if it's "Poor Lochley" or General Lochley. We can just be fairly certain that, either way, her tour aboard Babylon 5 shouldn't last much more than 6 years. She either gets Promoted or shipped off to someplace depressing. Or, decides to retire and go into...

    Missing the missiles

    <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, arial">quote:</font><HR> Just visit the nearest asteroid belt and pick up a bunch of Rocks. Just as much damage as a Nuke for pennies. That supposes there is no acceleration other than gravity. If there is, you will need quite a bit of energy...

    Love or loathe it, the Hand a tactical blunder?(spoilers)

    IMHO, the review appears to suffer from a lack of Attention paid to the movie. My guess: the reviewer had the Movie and the Game on at the same time and tried to watch Both. The big question is which did he have in the small Window? I found his comment about how Minbar has been "redesigned"...

    Paranoid speculation....

    The part I feel the Teams & City played in the decision about the Time the game was played relate to things like How many people will buy tickets to a Night Game vs a Day game. Will the Fans spend more money in the Concessions later? Will the fans spend more money in the Outlying Businesses...

    Another stupid, trivial question !!!

    And why is Garibaldi sparring with Ivanova supposed to be "out of character" ?? His remark was only peripherally concerned with what was happening. It was 99% a "Zinger" aimed at Ivanova, something he did all the time. Remember Breakfast? ------------------ Do not ascribe your own...

    Captian Lochley?

    Well, I suppose it's a pretty good bet that Lochley would be gone by the time of Sleeping in Light. After all, that's almost 20 Years Later. She'd be ready to Retire by then. Even if she Never got another promotion, they wouldn't leave the same person in charge for 20 years. I'd say 6 or 7...

    B*ron

    MondoLondo, I suspect you're referring to what Talia told Sinclair in the Ironheart episode. Except she wasn't talking about "combining powers". She was talking about Having Sex and the Mental component when two telepaths drop all their shields. MindFnck. The effect isn't EXTERNAL. While it's...

    Missing the missiles

    The problem with Missles is the Price Tag. Current missles are running in the $Million dollar EACH range. Sometimes the target just isn't Worth that much when there are cheaper alternatives. For instance: The mass drivers the Centauri used against Narn. Dirt cheap. Just visit the nearest...

    Love or loathe it, the Hand a tactical blunder?(spoilers)

    Most of the people who are posting that they didn't like it seem to be complaining that It Wasn't What THEY were Expecting. Personally, I'm Glad that JMS still isn't Predictable. If B5LR was Predictable it wouldn't be worth watching. So, I'll wait impatiently for the series...

    Do you miss those Rangers ladies?

    We're just going to have to introduce all these Singing Women to Leslie Fish, SF's best known Female Filkwriter and Anarchist. A few of her songs are posted at: http://www.prometheus-music.com/eli/leslie.html She is most shamed to have been the guilty party resposnible for the Classic Trek...

    Nine and One(spoilers)

    The Liandra is Not an "intelligent" ship, so It can't betray anyone. What was said was that the ship Vanished for about a week of so and was then found with No One on board and most of the computer records wiped. This implies that, after Murdering the crew, the Traiter met with another ship...

    Paranoid speculation....

    Well, the Flaw in that little scenario is that Sci Fi didn't Know there was going to be a "race" when they scheduled. The Babylon 5 date was set well Before the Football game got going. And since they'd already spent a lot of money advertising the date & time, they were stuck. If it had been a...

    vorlons vs shadows

    You are assuming that a Living, Intelligent Vorlon ship NEEDS a Pilot. A Vorlon ship IS the pilot. And, if the Shadows are never in Their ships and so don't "care" about their ship losses, Why were they so annoyed with Kosh that they killed him?? The only good explanation for Kosh being...

    Who changed the least during B5?

    Well, Ivanova Did go from Lieutenant Commander to General to Anla'Shak'Na. That's a pretty big change. Plus, as a General, she didn't even Maim, much less Rip the Heads Off the staff memebers who both Disobeyed Ivanova and had the gall to Talk Back while she was chewing them out. I'd say...

    What I *really* liked about Legend of the Rangers(spoilers)

    Ships are Not designed to be "expendable". They are designed to best serve the Purpose of their individual missions. USN Destroyers were originally designed as Submarine Hunter/Killer vessels. And as Fast, Mobile scout platforms. They did a pretty good job of this. Submarines almost alway...
