Pretty sure that's supposed to be Valen. I believe Sinclair has some similar lines later in the show. And we don't know what appearances Valen has made over the years - after all, he just vanished from existence like Sheridan does later. Joe mentioned that Delenn goes on a quest to find Valen...

She was definitely there last season on House, and I recall hearing an interview with her about what's going to happen in the upcoming season, so she's definitely still on the show.

Part of something that Joe said early on was that he wanted good sci-fi *and* good television, which includes building on those television cliches I think. Since a plot was going to unfold there anyway, why not point to it with flashing neon.

The issue as Joe put it was that his first version of the script felt more like a Star Trek episode than a Babylon 5 episode. There are some differences with the way the Soul Hunter is initially reacted to. He just kind of wanders on to the station, starts affecting the aliens, and Sinclair...

I believe December 17th is the release date. He's in a couple of parts of the latest trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9szn1QQfas

^ I still loved it regardless, plus based on other evidence in the movie, my mind is at ease. The EFX are great; loved the sound; interesting actors; beautiful photography; I was gripped for all 2 1/2 hours.

Buffy started around '97. Angel started in '99. Firefly was in 2002.

Currently the Del Rey publishing site lists Summoning Light and Invoking Darkness as available (but now no Casting Shadows!). Printing number is different from edition number and isn't always listed out; you should look near the cover for the number sequence "1 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2". The last...

Joe said his outlines were about 30 - 85 pages per trilogy. The 10 page number refers to a single book in the trilogy. Peter David's Babylon 5 credits (to put them all in one place in this thread): Episodes: "Soul Mates", "There All the Honor Lies", "Ruling from the Tomb" [Crusade] Unproduced...

What's wrong with oranges? I love oranges. I wish there were more orange references. Anyway, there is a further point Joe is going for here in that Sheridan should start out in a happy-go-lucky space that slowly descends into the hardened version of Sheridan later.

I think "all alone in the night" refers to the station being in an unihabited (for the most part) section of the galaxy; not that nobody goes there. It is the central location where all the major governments send their ambassadors to discuss/plan/scheme/etc. after all. Sheridan's sister is...

With the exception of "In the Beginning" the movies aren't really tied into the five-year arc (although I think they are enjoyable.) Basically, the events of Objects at Rest involving Londo and the "gift" as well as the Drakh's threat of having laid fusion bombs around Centauri Prime lead to...

Not quite right. According to Joe the Valen plot was thought up about 2/3 of the way through the first season. That's why Delenn says in Voice in the Wilderness that Sinclair has a destiny. At the end of season one, plans were still there to have Sinclair in place. As late as April (filming...

He didn't mention that Sinclair was Valen though; he only mentioned that Minbari souls were in human bodies. It's also not yet evident that Sinclair went back in time which is how he was Valen in the first place. All the pieces for solving this mystery are not in place in this episode, even...

I think it says "TNT Presents a Special Edition of Babylon 5 The Gathering." The original version of the pilot is on Hulu and thewb.com as well if you can't track down a DVD copy (Region 1 was only special edition I believe). The special edition follows the script and original intent closer I...

I think the implication here is that the man is forcing Talia into these thoughts. It's not where she was trying to go in his head.

You could say it like this, but this is supported by the show on-screen in the movie In the Beginning; Dukhat says "with who's authority?!" when he's informed that they are approaching the humans with gun ports open. It's clear that he didn't think the warrior caste tradition was always the...

Probably because the Minbari knew by now that it was a threatening gesture to the humans so it caught them off-guard. The Warrior Caste were making a deliberate decision here and probably don't normally approach the station this way, even if it is their tradition.

A comment on the polls - I guess something in the database got moved because the answers correspond correctly but the questions are off. I noticed the other episodes titles in the threads didn't match the thread titles, but this one asks "Do you want to do Jude Law" with the answers of...
