There's always one bit about In the Beginning that confused me. That's when EarthGov are speaking to Londo (and presumably other races) about getting information on the Minbari. Londo seems to know a bit, and G'Kar knew enough to be able to act as a translator, but in all their information gathering nobody mentions the Warrior caste tradition of arming weapons that led to the war? I'm trying to remember, were the Minbari avoiding contact with other races at the time and the other races just kind of forgot about it? It just seems like if there was information for G'Kar to learn the language out there, you figure other things would be mentioned too.

Data Graham posted:It's also pretty unclear how Dr. Franklin knew so much about Minbari physiology prior to the open-gunports incident; I thought that incident was their first contact. From what I remember Franklin mentioned to Delenn in one episode about how he was on an alien transport that gave assistance to some Minbari and he treated them before Earthgov tried making first contact with them. And when Earthgov found out they wanted him to using his knowledge of Minbari physiology to come up with bio-weapon to be used against them in the war.

Neddy Seagoon posted:I never thought about it before it was brought up just now really, but think about it it; the last thing the Shadows would want is the younger racers unifying, or even co-operating to any extensive degree, which is exactly what a place like a Babylon station would almost certainly achieve. I thought Telepaths were a result of the Vorlons messing around with the younger races, not the Shadows.

I was always under the impression that they were more like Kosh 2 and Kosh 1 was probably considered odd by the rest of the Vorlons and that's part of the reason he's on the Babylon station to begin with.

Weren't the White Stars built exclusively by the Religious Caste? Maybe they simply didn't have access to the stealth tech and them trying to get their hands on it would make the Warrior Caste suspicious and they were trying to build them in secret.

Dirty posted:As I recall, JMS said he called it Babylon 5 because of the 5-year story. I wonder why it never occurred to JMs to go the DS9 route and just have another 4 Babylon stations around the galaxy that are only mentioned in passing, maybe having different purposes to Babylon 5.

So whatever happened to Catherine Sakai anyways? Sinclair proposed to her at the end of season one but isn't mentioned again. And how would the whole Sinclair and Delenn having a son thing worked if she was still around before the rewrite?

Ugh. I've been rewatching this on Sky. They've gotten to season 4 and decided to show two episodes from now on. Except they skipped a couple of episodes for some reason, including Into the Fire, which only deals with the conclusion of the Shadow War.

1000 Brown M and Ms posted:They do. In an early episode one of them (I think the one who turns out to be a telepath) explains that they do all sorts of odd jobs to survive, but it's not enough to really make a life or get off the station. They also mention in the ISN propaganda episode that Sheridan introduced a series of work programs for the Lurkers.

So I'm after watching Deconstruction of Falling Stars and I have one small question. When the Nazi propaganda guy made holograms of the crew for his video, why exactly did he make accurate representations of them if he just overrides their personalities to make them say or do what he wants to anyways? Especially when you consider that making an accurate hologram of Garibaldi led to a nuclear war.

Just saw A View From the Gallery. It is not a good episode. Also is it just me or are the telepaths abilities kind of all over the place in comparison to the previous seasons? Like I kind of thought the ability to project images and memories into another person's mind was a Lyta special, but then you have the mute kid doing it and the other telepaths were acting like it was an unusual thing to be able to do only for Byron to give Beau the Starfury Pilot Experience in this episode.

I think the main thing I don't like about it is that it's set up as a story about some random nobodies having to deal with the consequences of the choices main cast but it quickly turns into a  about how great the main cast are and only seems to approach what it was set up for at the very end with Steven dealing with bodies of everyone who died in the battle.

Anonymouse Mook posted:If I remember right, JMS thought it was too similar to something from another show (X-Files?) and also that maybe he had introduced a few too many different secret organisations. I assumed it was DS9 with Section 31 but Bureau 13 might have shown up in Babylon 5 before that.

Let's not forget that Vir went from "I dunno if this is the right thing to do  " to "kill the fucker  " within 5 seconds of meeting Cartagia after what he saw what was happening to G'Kar, so him wanting Morden's head on a pike and being happy he got it is completely within character for him.

Jedit posted:Mumy had good reason to be resentful, by all accounts. As far as I know he's always said that he didn't want to take the gig at first because of the lengthy chair time, but was promised that it would be two hours tops. Then he comes in on his first day and the prosthetics team are "lol, nah, try four". They did manage to get it down to two hours once they got their rhythm down, and unlike Katsulas and the Drazi he at least wasn't in full facial prosthetics, but he nearly walked and I don't think I would have blamed him. Explains why he refused to work in Star Trek until they gave him a human role.
