I'll always wonder if JMS should have gone the prequel route and mined the Dilgar War for one of his post-B5 projects. Imagine a movie/series/mini-series all about the EA going around nuking the poo poo out of Space Nazi cats...

Supposedly there's still some Shadow influence in there too.

http://deadline.com/2017/11/rance-howard-ron-howard-clint-howard-obituary-apollo-13-a-beautiful-mind-1202214569/ Rance Howard, who played John Sheridan's Dad has died. Because, it'd just been too long since a B5 cast member had died.

No, I think it's way more shocking. Even though the seasons are fairly even quality-wise, I think TNG was guaranteed at least a second season no matter what.

Jedit posted:There's a not entirely unsubstantiated theory that the Drafa Plague was created or refined by the Shadows. There's evidence that the Markab knew the Shadows were returning before Delenn told anyone about it. It was hubris that got them, but the possibility exists that they were pushed. I've seen some "fanon" that suggests that Jha'Dur (Deathwalker) was responsible for the Markab plague. I don't think there's anything to suggest it in the actual show though.

The one on the right is obviously Kira, but the one on the left doesn't particularly look like Ivanova. Actually, doesn't really look too much like Lochley either.

And there's apparently some mechanism for switching castes. We see 1 or 2 Warrior caste Minbari who moved to the Religious caste.

I believe something similar happened with Tallman between 'The Gathering' and the series proper. In fact, I think that's the only reason Talia even existed as a character.

Why would you ever advise someone new to the show to watch the loving pilot? It's a neat thing to catch once you're definitely a fan, but nothing in it is particularly vital and it's rough enough to scare off a few would-be fans. edit: I'm squarely in the "don't skip any S1 episodes" camp, but "The Gathering" is entirely skippable.

The Narn Heavy Cruisers are zero-g, that's why they're strapped in. Other than that, I don't recall seeing another race that lacked artificial gravity.

I always got the impression you weren't really going to get anywhere in Earth Force without some stick time in a Star Fury. Now it might just be B5's equivalent to the way Star Trek has Captain's going on away missions, but I can kind of buy the "I was a pilot earlier in my career and now I maintain flight status so I don't lose that extra pay." Was it Garibaldi that was begging flight time so he didn't lose his status and extra pay?

Midjack posted:Lennier was OK up until he started getting weird about Sheridan and Delenn which was what, mid S4? I think, in retrospect, the point where Lennier starts actually going downhill is that bar scene with Marcus. It's not romantic love as you'd understand it, it's a nobler, purer love. But I understand that she is fated for another. That's when he really started turning into a printer carrying "nice" guy.

Goblin Craft posted:When they get chased away by the Drakh but then she gets this cold stare and turns right back around for an immediate surprise counterattack. This is mine too. I haven't been able to find a clip of the actual line, but I sort of remember it. Lennier proposes a destination after they flew the Drakh attack and Delenn says something like, "We're not leaving. They've attacked defenseless ships, they destroyed Whitestar 14. Now, they will pay the price." Nobody could do righteous anger like Mira Furlan.

Even when it was new, as a teenager, that speech always bothered the hell out of me. It actually ruined the character for me, if not for that speech I actually rather liked Lochley. The implications of it are loving horrifying.

mossyfisk posted:Sheridan swore an oath to the Alliance, and the issuing of illegal orders gives him justification to break that oath without violating his principles. Actually an illegal order would give him the cover of refusing that order without breaking his oath. At least arguably. That's the whole thing. Complain that the order is immoral, nobody asked you now shut up and do your job. The order being illegal justifies refusing, at least in theory/on paper. And as you say, would definitely align more with his.principles.

I'm assuming he means the episode before SiL, since it was taped at the end of Season 4 and while it's a fantastic series finale it's not really a Season 5 finale in any real sense.

Yeah the Minbari came in to slaughter a crippled, defenseless ship. They wanted to shoot fish in a barrel and they're pissed the fish had a claymore. The Minbari can absolutely go gently caress themselves on that one.

Rappaport posted:Thirdspace was a pretty good horror story, all things considered, in the Babylon 5 universe. If you like Lovecraft stuff. The thing that bothers me about Thirdspace is that I've always wanted to know more about the creepy space squid thing Sheridan runs into when he goes to do what he does best. Nuke the everloving poo poo out of something.

The show is pretty explicit that them blowing the jumpgate means you can't go there any more, so I don't think it was really an option even if someone wanted to do it.
