    EpDis: Signs And Portents

    According to the original outline in vol.15 of the scriptbooks, the prophecy refers to Delenn and Sinclair leaving in a shuttle while the Minbari warrior caste attacks and destroys B5.

    Just watched B5: In the Beginning (Spoilers)

    You'd think that the Minbari would have consulted the Vorlons when they found out about Sinclair's soul at the Battle of the Line. That's my problem with them being there. One of them even says "Truth points to itself", which is ominous, as we expect from our Vorlons, but suggests that they know...

    Just watched B5: In the Beginning (Spoilers)

    I rather think that the Minbari would have reported their findings concerning Valen's soul to Kosh and Ulkesh. And even if Kosh knew what was coming and chose not to interfere, Ulkesh certainly didn't, and he would have been highly likely to report the finding of Valen's soul. Otherwise, the...

    Just watched B5: In the Beginning (Spoilers)

    Although most B5 fans like it, I've had some problems with ItB from the start, for some of the reasons touched here. I think that the humans would have sent as inoffensive a negotiator as possible to end the war, not the only one who was sure to offend the Minbari (as he did later, when he was...

    Scriptbook #15 Discussion - SPOILER WARNING

    I have finally received my vol. 15. Here are my ideas on the outline: 1. Aw hell, was I wrong in re-constructing the "original arc" in my mind ;-) And I'm glad about it - I like the show we got more than what was in that original outline. 2. Based on season 1 which mentions Valen and his...

    B5 Episodes You Prefer To Skip?

    TKO does contribute to the arc, if only in one small detail: "When will you ever learn to watch your back, Michael?". This is repeated at the end of the ep and foreshadows Garibaldi's being shot in Chrysalis. So does Grail... the True Seeker bears a striking resemblance to the rangers, with...

    B5 Episodes You Prefer To Skip?

    Same here. Even the worst episodes have some elements that tie into one of the arcs, so I do not skip any episodes. But there are some scenes I wish hadn't been included, like the Ivanova sex dance around the Lumati. It's embarrassing.

    Zathras's Race?

    I think the Zathrii are directly related to the Great Machine somehow and may be the servant race of the original creators (speculative). In the comic "In Valen's name", we see another side of Zathras that suggests that there is more to them than is suggested by their humble and crazed appearance.

    Two Big Crusade Questions

    I think that perhaps the box absorbs more and more of its owner's essence, while the owner becomes more and more dependent on the box. While in the beginning, the owner is the master, the box becomes the master when the owner is no longer able to take any decision without asking the box.

    Two Big Crusade Questions

    Same here. I'm really looking forward to this outline, to see if I my analyses & guesswork concerning a possible original arc were correct. I am currently re-watching the series another time, just passing "Severed Dreams", and I wonder if Sinclair would have donned the mantle of Entil'zha after...

    Why did the Vorlons pick Jack The Ripper?

    And the best thing about it is that the Vorlons, who propagate self-sacrifice for the greater good, succumb to the sin of pride, as did Sebastian, by starting a rampage across the galaxy in their greed for victory over the shadows. The Vorlons have become Rippers.

    Minbari reaction to Sinclair becoming Valen

    I think I may have found the answer to my question. Since the rangers were trained in secret, not many would know of Sinclair as Entil'Zha. The rangers were commissioned by the religious caste, and the warrior caste opposed that decision (cp. Neroon's comment on the reason for surrender at the...

    Minbari reaction to Sinclair becoming Valen

    I just finished watching "Atonement" and "Grey 17" again, and I'm still confused with the whole Sinclair affair. I think it would be really interesting to read the actual prophecies of Valen. One would think that after the Minbari scanned Sinclair and made him Entil'Zha, they believed he was...

    EpDis: Intersections In Real Time

    I rather liked Comes the Inquisitor, because of the great acting on the side of Wayne Alexander, the intensity of the situation, and the topics discussed (definition by way of references, the Vorlons ARE, etc.). Intersections was far weaker. I think it would have worked well as a bleak...

    Proof of Purchase for Free Volume 15

    I just tried sending in my PoP with the phone number field blank, but it doesn't work. When I enter my phone number, I cannot send it either. Does anyone know a workaround? They say international customers should enter their phone number in the comments box and the first 11 numbers in the phone...

    Mindwalker and Evolution

    Correct, and only the three Ranger Ones that make up THE ONE are given the titel Entil'Zha (creator of the future). That - and the very definition of Entil'Zha - makes clear that while the One is a figure of Minbari belief (or will be), their story is a B5 story, not only a human/Minbari one.

    Mindwalker and Evolution

    Still, there are more than three Ranger Ones, but only three who form THE ONE. So the question is, what unites these three individuals so that they are subsumed unter that label together? ... The resolution of the Great War, imho. (There is another thing that Zathras tells: Sinclair is the...

    Mindwalker and Evolution

    The way I see it, the One who was, is, and will be, refers to the role Sinclair, Delenn, and Sheridan have in the ejection of the First Ones from the galaxy and the formation of a new order. Sinclair laid the foundation by defeating the Shadows in the first war and introducing human candidates...
