Well, lets hope JMS can come up with something on his own. I think he may be able to pull it off.

Poor Mr. Drazi.
Well, if you can take some good-natured ribbing from us, you'll fit right in here, Gus because we do that kind of stuff to each other all the time!

Whew! What a releif. In that case Im sure all that stuff I mentioned will probably be written in then.
Or maybe I could get pregnant? Everyone seems to be leaping to the assumption that Tirk is a male Drazi. I think thats a bit closed minded.
I may be a very matronly and nurturing Drazi that takes care of the rest of the crew and gives them discipline and understanding. Just think of me as the Drazi Mrs. Garrett. That would make Myriam like Joe, Alex kind of like Natalie. And of course Dylan is written exactly like Blair. And lets face it, its hard to tell G'Kar and Tootie apart.

Good luck on finding one. I think Dean has already bribed JMS and reserved the female cast for his own character.

But if Tirk is a female Drazi, that shouldn't be a problem.
Besides, Gus has a point.
How do we know Tirk is male? Have we ever seen a female Drazi?

Actually, I thought that it was either the Drazi or the Pak'ma'ra that was supposed to be hermaphroditic or having only one sex to the species, 'cause we've never seen a female of either species (even when Lyta and Franklin visited Draziland...
) Of course, we could always assume that the Drazi have an extremely patriarchal, Ferengi-like society, or that female Drazi aren't allowed off-planet (did you ever see a female Drazi on Babylon 5, even in The Geometry of Shadows?). Or, of course, there's also the possibility that Channe has gone off the deep end with wild speculation and needs to be committed...
Does Tirk speak in macros, too?
No, JMS doesn't read this board, which is why people can run around here calling me "the next JMS...."

Gus, you could tell us that Martel was Kirk, Dulann was Spock, and "Rangers" resembled a bad episode from the first season of The Next Generation, and - GASP - we'd still tune in on January 19th (with popcorn, no less!)
Of course, what would happen *after* that wouldn't be pretty.

We do see a female Drazi in the Techno-mage books. I would probably agree about keeping the females subjugated at home. The Drazi are a very macho race. The Drazi female in the book (what was her name?) wore human clothes and spoke perfect English. She may have been raised off world or run away from her homeworld at an early age in search of greater freedom.
Also, with the Pak'ma'Ra, the female is actually the hump. They are small and spend their time riding of the backs of their larger mates.
Sounds like a few wives I know!
And welcome back and congrats to Gus. You sound like a real cut-up!
------------------
"Draal gave Zathras list of things not to say.
This was one. No.... *tsk tsk*
No. Not good.
Not supposed to mention... "one", or... THE one.
Hmmmm.
You never heard that."

Obsessed -
AH! Yes. It *was* the Pak'ma'ra I had heard that about, then, but I had no idea about the hump being the female.
I haven't read too much in that direction, just a little bit - so I guess I didn't get to the female Drazi part, yet.
I wonder if the Drazi ever had a women's liberation movement.
God, Pak'ma'ra marriage ceremonies must be... really interesting...

Another female Drazi reference: Londo was teasing the Drazi ambassador that his wife was sleeping around with the Gaim. I can't recall the episode, though. Londo was making several anti-Drazi comments, like they were all incredibly insecure.
Okay, Gus managed to completely hijack the thread. Back to the starting topic, wasn't that warship destroyed? IIRC, the Emfeeli in "Shadow Dancing" was ordered to protect the encircled Drazi warships. And it sacrificed itself to do so, as it took fire from three Shadow vessels. One even flew through the debris.

Through some strange coincidence I managed to get another cast member to dislike me.... So I have only, what, two or one to go for it to be the entire main cast?
And I have quite a lot of time to do it in since the movie is gonnna be out somewhere in January. Oh well, if I don't succeed there is always Enterprise, I could go piss off people there

Maybe the word "wife" in the Drazi language doesn't necessarily connote a female.
I hope they tell us Martel served in the Shadow War. That gives him history - both with the Rangers and with the audience. We went through the Shadow War (well, ok, vicariously). We'd know where he was coming from.
And, hell, I don't know about you people, but I'm hankering for another view of the Shadow War. What did it feel like for those NOT in the command crew?
