    Humor plays big part(spoilers)

    Yes, G'Kar was great. I've seen a couple posts about how G'Kar wouldn't Really be able to get away with behaving that way. The people making those posts missed one Important little detail: G'Kar is almost certainly There as a guest/emmisary of Delenn & Sheridan. And the Ranger Council Knows...

    Why Minbari Tech Wears out Fast (minor TLADIS spoilers)

    There WERE no physical models used in B5. It was All CGI. And, no, the stuff on the net isn't good enough. The models used in the series were fully fleshed out 3D renderings that took weeks to build, some of them months. Babylon 5 itself, the CGI artists kept adding detail to in their spare...

    Crusade vs. Technomage Trilogy (spoilers)

    Not enough Meat for that to be it. The info in the Technomage trilogy would fill up maybe half a dozen episodes or so as far as Crusade was concerned. What about the Rest of the 4 years? Besides, JMS hasn't given up on Crusade yet, so he'd hardly give the story away in the books...

    SiL Mirror

    The tipoff that it's not the cross on the Uniform that jms was talking about is that Bruce/Sheridan wasn't There when jms first spotted the reflection. It happened while the crew was putting the set together. ------------------ Do not ascribe your own motivations to others: At best, it will...

    whitestars still troublin me......

    I also suspected that the amount of Noise the Whitestar fleet made while flying over Earthdome was deliberate, too. Delenn & Sheridan probably told every ship to make as much Noise as possible. Playing with the power settings for the gravity drive would give them a nice subsonic rumble. There...

    Let me end the silence...(some spoilers)

    Dave is right. One of the important stats is whether the audience Grows or Shrinks while the movie is running. An audience that Grows says that channel surfers and people who got home Late are tuning in and that the audience that started the movie is Staying. A Shrinking audience means that...

    Old-school kinks to work out(spoilers)

    Should I guess that you've never been in the military? When you interrupt the captain to make a report, you do so without worrying about who he's talking to. It's YOUR judgement call as to whether the interruption is important enough to warrent this bit of rudeness. If the Captain Disagrees...

    Suckers (spoilers)

    It was this extra Planning and shooting stuff out of order that helped B5 save a lot of Money and consistently come in Under Budget. B5 is one of the Only SF shows ever to consistently come in under budget on the majority of episodes. Trek takes budget overruns almost for Granted...

    The hair

    The bone crest grows out of the Temples. It's not attached at any other point. What jms said was: <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, arial">quote:</font><HR> When Delenn's structure changed, the epidermal layer on the head grew thinner; there is now a gap between the skin, and the...

    Spread out s4 into s5?

    From What JMS posted, he only dropped about 4 episodes from his original plan for season 4. And, he didn't "stretch" the telepath arc in season 5. I believe the stand alone episodes like "View From the Gallery" and "Day of the Dead" were what was added to make up for what got shifted around...

    Captian Lochley?

    For an officer at Lochley's level staying in the same place TOO Long is a career killer. B5 is a Plum assignment. So, if she does well there, her very next Promotion takes her into Admiral/General rank. If she Doesn't get that promotion, she can kiss her career Goodbye because it means...

    B5LR: Disappointment

    I keep seeing posts that assume the Enemy we saw in this movie was the Hand. But the Movie very specifically SAID it was a coalition of Servant Races who are trying to find a way to release the Hand from the Prison the First Ones left them in. Unless the servant races Succeed, we might never...

    was jms making a joke here?

    Sounds like an Editing screw up. Judging by JMS comment, it's not Supposed to be there. They had a couple of minor incidents like that during Babylon 5. FX people or editors playing around with something as a joke and forgetting to take it Out of the production cut. JMS had words with them...

    Equality among the races?

    I remember Marcus once saying that His training lasted about a Year. Lennier's training seemed to be taking at least that long, too. It would also vary a bit depending on the Individual, what he/she Already knew before joining and what sort of Specialty he/she was being trained in...

    Three Little Questions???

    More precisely, Delenn had a set of high tech devices embedded in rings. We know that ONE of those rings was the controller for an artificial gravity field. We have No Idea what the Other rings were for because we never saw her using them. There is not reason to think that All the rings were...
