Farmer Crack-rear end posted:If I remember right the "energy mines" the Narn cruisers shoot were also intended to be part of the EarthForce Omega destroyer's loadout. Yep. Hence the matching launchers on the Omega-class 'chin'. And the red dots on the side were missile tubes.

Doctor Zero posted:Seems like.y to be engineered because it’s very unlikely for a disease to be 100% contagious and 100% lethal. https://www.wired.com/2011/01/airborne-prions-disease/ Though it's worth noting there are no airborne prion diseases. So unless you work in a very unsanitary butcher's shop, sawing through mad-cow infected cattle brains all day long, it's not a concern. But even without that added bit, from everything we know right now, prion diseases are all 100% fatal, and that's WITH what little treatment we can give. And it clearly doesn't take much to MAKE them aerosolized/airborne, so add in some weird evolutionary path and I could see the potential for a prion or prion-like disease for aliens that can be spread through the air. Rabies is also 100% fatal without treatment, I think, and if treatment is after symptoms show, then it's still close to 100%. But it's not that contagious, and certainly not airborne.

After cancellation they gave away promotional material for the cost of shipping. I have a poster and Shadow cruiser wristwatch bat home somewhere.

I got my wife hooked on Babylon 5 and we have been watching the show a lot on Amazon Prime.  We are half way through season 2 now, so the Narn have declared war, the centauri emperor is dead, and Earth Force is way too relevant and real to 2018.

I'm another one who's rewatching it with my wife -- I watched it when it first aired, she never did. Part of the fun is spotting all the guest stars who became known for bigger roles -- there's Lurch! There's Freddy! There's Minister Tagomi from The Man in the High Castle! Last night we got up to "The Long Night" and were deeply amused to see young Bryan Cranston playing a Ranger.

Apart from Cranston all your examples were already well known.

One of the most moving moments in TV period.

You know it always impresses me just how good the actor for G'kar is. The fact he can express as much as he does behind a layer of make up is awesome.
