Don't trust the skull.
Morden should be louder, angrier, and have access to the Great Machine.

Although I think Morden would have self-destructed the Machine after his second conversation with Zathras.

Why? No one listens to Zathras.

We’re recording our final episode of The Name of the Pod tomorrow, our wrap up looking back at the full scope of B5 and our 3 year podcast run. If anyone has any questions or topics that you’d like to hear us blather about let me know.

Can you make sure that you thoroughly cover Babylon 5s enduring legacy and place in history? Would also be good if you could do another recasting if it were prestige TV filmed today.

Plus bring back recordings of Max to interrupt you periodically. That cat sure has input.

Help my dumb brain out here folks - which episode was it where Sheridan (I think it was him and not Sinclair) and Ivanova are at a meeting of complaining workers or ship captains or something and Sheridan (?) makes everyone shut up by wading into the crowd with a gun?

e: got it, A Day in the Strife.

I like your style hombre, but this is no laughing matter. Assault on a police officer. Theft of police property. Illegal possession of a firearm. FIVE counts of attempted murder. That comes to... 29 dollars and 40 cents. Cash, cheque, or credit card?

There’s been a repeated plot point of Earthforce and Earthgov continuing to poo poo on the station, using and abusing the crew and facilities, and not ever seem appreciative of what it is they’re doing out there. I can’t help but wonder if that’s intentional, and there’ll be a sea change at some point.

The newbie thread is a delight. Would it be a spoiler if I gave myself the Marcus/Lennier in a car avatar? That was my original plan, hence the name, but since the one guy is just a sweetie-pie about Lennier and I'd like to post in that thread, well, I wanted to ask for your thoughts?

I've been waiting for someone to comment on my (year old) avatar text. I never thought it would be someone who just happily paid Lowtax $10 for the privilege of mocking me because I won't pay him $5.

Is this a bottle episode?

Because "not doing the right thing" in spite of people it hurts vs "doing the right thing" though it may be of negligible benefit to bad faith actors is absolutely relevant to the ethos of B5.

You could ask one of the mods to just nix that for you.

I've asked for reversions a couple of times before. I'll probably drop $5 to alter it after the deal is signed off.

I mean it would be a great AV but is there anything you REALLY have to say in that thread until they get up to Marcus? If so I would wait and change it later.

Agree.

Also I don't think that pic is really a spoiler, there's no context for it and it's not a spoiler to be like, there are characters on the show in the future that aren't on it right now.

The incel label being applied to Lennier and Marcus by someone who has already seen the show is somewhat telling.

Yeah, things are moving and there's no indications it will not happen, but I'd expect a few weeks at minimum.
