Wasn't there a subplot in Legend of the Rangers about a haunted Ranger ship? And the Minbari second in command was psychic and could see the ghosts? It's been a while since I last saw it so the details are hazy.

I remember Delenn saying something to the effect that Humans are the only ones who build communities of multiple species and that no other species would do that. It was the one where they get interviewed by ISN.

I've been rewatching them from when I taped them on my dvr a couple of years ago.  Doesn't have season one and a few episodes of season 2 are missing.

Everyone talking about the Centauri shooting balls of blue goop at Narn saying that they must be asteroids are forgetting one thing: these are Centauri we're talking about, it's clearly spoo they're shooting at the planet. Smh at all these fake fans. As for having livestock on B5, that seems like a bad idea from a prevention of creating new and interesting diseases perspective.

MrL_JaKiri posted:We do, just the kind against military personnel not the general population Which is why I find it kind of funny when the Minbari act like Sheridan is a war criminal and monster for blowing up the Black Star when it's implied that they were doing worse things and were planning to genocide the humans.

mossyfisk posted:It was a war crime, to be fair. It just seems a little hypocritical for them to complain about warcrimes when they were committing their own. Jedit posted:They think he's a monster because he fought dishonourably by luring the Black Star into a trap. Never mind that he couldn't possibly have fought them head on - it's the sneakiness they don't like. And to be fair, the Warrior caste are quite consistent in being open handed with opposing forces. It's how the war got started in the first place. Okay yeah I can see that.

Minbari lie to save face, and lying about the war to avoid embarrassment is something they would do.

Yeah when it gets to something big like the war, they can justify lying by saying they're doing it to save face for their clan members or caste members, and they just happen to save face for themselves in the process.

It would seem kind of foolish of PsyCorp to vivasect a superpowered telepath who is totally loyal to them when they could get much more valuable information out of her being alive, able to do experiments and breed her with another powerful telepath or tk to get more superpowered telepaths.

Evolving into a being of pure energy seemed to be a fairly popular sci-fi trope at the time. See: TNG, Stargate, and I guess you make an argument for Earth Final Conflict with the Taelons being part of the way there.

Wasn't the original plot going to be something like Babylon 5 getting destroyed by the Shadows and Sinclair and Delenn fall in love and take Babylon 4 into the future and the series be relaunched as Babylon Prime?

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:I don't think it was in the Shadows' interests to foster a human civil war at that moment, though. The Shadows want the Clark regime in power because they're the xenophobic fascists who will eventually be willing to drive humanity to war against their neighbors. The civil war is about a question that the Shadows already have a preferred answer/outcome for, they wouldn't have wanted humanity wasting its time and energy on fighting over that when there are other states/species to prove their dominance over (especially, in my view, the Minbari; I've long suspected the shadow-tech advanced destroyers were intended for an eventual rematch). Morden shows up to talk with the Clark regime and Psy Corp so I agree.

If they couldn't afford Prodigy style cgi, then they should have gone with Reboot style cgi.

Set up the telepath colony on the Markab homeworld.  Though I am curious if anyone ever did try to take over the Markab homeworld, assuming they were a species unaffected by the plague.

Setting up a colony would there depend on what condition of the buildings and infrastructure left. Assuming those were in decent condition, that would cut down on freight. More so if the food sources on the planet were edible to whatever species sets up a colony there. And that species might go to the trouble of rebuilding a jump gate there too. Probably not a good place for the telepath colony since it would probably be too costly and the ISA would have to foot the bill. But they never really mention how colony worlds are set up either.

Jedit posted:"Why are you here?" is a question Sebastian asks of Delenn. While Sebastian may be old by human standards if you count the time he spent in stasis, I don't think that qualifies him to be considered an Ancient or one of the First Ones.

Pantaloon Pontiff posted:No, they approached a ship with gun ports opened (first provocation) and used active scanners on the human ship that were strong enough to disable the human ship's scanners (escalating the provocation) right as the human ship was trying to figure out how to respond to the hostile actions. "It's my culture to approach with a drawn weapon" doesn't turn approaching someone not in your culture with a drawn weapon into a non-provocation. Their own leader realized how bad of an idea that was and tried to countermand the order, but didn't make it in time. Similarly, actively hitting ships with something strong enough to shut down their sensors is a provocation, even if you don't think about the effect of a strong active scan on someone else's ship. Modern ships on earth are aware that blasting their radar full strength at another ship is a provocation, the super-advanced Minbari should be too. I do find it odd that if the Minbari traditionally greet everyone they meet with gun ports open, then why haven't, say the Centauri, encountered it in their rare and brief encounters with the Minbari? You would've thought that would be something that Londo would've mentioned when he was asked about the Minbari if he knew.

I guess the other option is not to treat In the Beginning as 100% canonical but rather Londo fudging some details to make it easier to tell the story to the children. Hence why it's Londo who's the ambassador on Earth and it's Gkar who is the weapon dealer and so on. It may be possible that the Centauri ambassador wasn't asked those questions but it's Londo guessing how the meeting went.

You do see Minbari fighting humans in the In The Beginning movie, but it's mostly hand-to-hand combat, and I'm assuming that the humans have run out of ammo.

It does make you wonder how Kosh died so quickly to two Shadows, when Sheridan and Co had quite a bit of difficulty killing off new Kosh while the Shadows die quickly to ppg blasts or equivalent. I guess he could have fought back but that might have punctured a hole in the station in the process.

I was a little confused at the start where ISN is reporting about the end of the Shadow War, and it seemed to show footage of humans fighting Shadow infantry, when Earth wasn't even aware of the Shadow War at the time. Maybe they weren't humans though.

Watched Soul Hunter and I really noticed all the alien extras in masks this time. It's fine for the most part where they just walk by, but there's a couple of moments where it sticks out like the two Minbari chatting in the background without moving their mouths at the start of the episode.

Watched that recently and I think it's the same guy who's on the quest for the Holy Grail in a later episode. But yeah I had the same thought when I saw wraparound shades guy. I recently played through Planescape Torment and it seems to have made me more sensitive to the sheer 90's-ness of B5.

One thing I've noticed in this watch through is that there are a lot of Minbari in the background wearing orange and grey jumpsuits. They're presumably worker caste but I don't think that's ever stated, or why there's so many working on B5.
