I'm just glad to see someone new around here.

I'm also reasonably confident that JMS has said the Shadow War would have ended at about the same time in S4 regardless -- he wanted it to be a shockingly abrupt conclusion. By the way -- welcome, fyl2u! It's good to see we still have lurkers even now.

This educational video put out by NASA, teaching us (in song form) about the electromagnetic spectrum, is clearly designed to have the computer be the creeper, since it's straight-up GLaDOS from the Portal games. But for us here, this may appear to be a clash of creepy titans. NOTGLaDOS...

All very logical! Thank you.

Great actor. At least, unlike so many of our other stars, he was not taken from us too soon.

Yes, it's still my favorite end to a series, as well. Even shows that I think are better than B5, that I love more, haven't nailed a finale like "Sleeping in Light."

Heh, you know I've been coming to this site for eleven years and I never knew we had a "report post" button? That's certainly a lot easier than what I did, which was go off in search of a mod.

That's quite the breakdown, okesh. I hadn't noticed that the Chrysalis device is 2/3 built in "Signs" vs. only 1/3 in a later ep. And you're right, re-ordering it to have Morden be a part of her decision-making process is an improvement... I think my only objection is that "Signs" is such a...

I, too, am interested in the ordering of Season 1 -- placing "Signs and Portents" so late surprises the heck out of me.

If I recall rightly, wasn't it going to be Laurel who shot Garibaldi in the back? So, I imagine a lot of it would have come out at the end of season 1.

What? Millions of years of evolution and the Vorlons haven't a) dealt with that problem or b) learned not to shoot at random? It actually makes less sense than a covert Shadow/Drakh/somebody else escort. I have no doubt jms said as much somewhere -- you seem to have much more access and...

Huh! Thanks, b5historyman. I hadn't seen those comments from jms (if it wasn't on the Lurker's Guide, I probably haven't seen it). My friends and I had long suspected a Shadow connection with the Dilgar, based on Deathwalker's philosophy, the forward leap in her tech, and the fact that the...

Oh indeed, on all counts.

I had no idea he was still among the living! ...Until recently, that is. At least he had a good long run, longer than some of our other losses.

In all seriousness, I was real talkative here (due to being fairly lonely IRL) at a time when we had a lot more people and a lot more conversations. I doubt we'll ever see that level of discussion again. Post counts don't matter all that much, anyway. If you're feeling deeply ashamed, however...

Oh, I dunno, eventually they would have run out of jokes. On the other hand, think about the savings in old-age makeup! Just wait until the actor really looks it! (But in all seriousness, O'Hare wouldn't have been able to do it, poor man.) "Richly deserved indeed," says post 10,535

Very thorough, Looney! The irony of Sinclair being the "final" commander, of course, is that while it might have hinted at a short life for the station, JMS actually intended Sinclair to be in charge for twenty straight years...

For me, having read the books many times at many points in my life, the real grandeur of the writing is in the level of investment Tolkien put in -- mapping out the position of at least four different groups of viewpoint characters not only on a X/Y plane but also in time. The real grandeur of...

In "Problem Child" or in B5? Though it may not matter; credit sequence is almost invariably the result of contracts. While the leading actors get their names first, the most important supporting actors get their names last. I guess the theory is that the audience may tune out for the middle, so...

TWO rewatches? That would drive me insane. I am about to employ Go90, but not for myself (I have the DVDs). Even though we broke up in July, my ex is adamant about finishing the series. B5 seems a particularly fitting neutral ground for post-breakup discussions...
