Any new G'Kar / Londo moment that one has never experienced before is treasure.

mllaneza posted:There was also the bunker scene of a bunch of civilians obviously under bombardment. One man in civilian garb gets up, says goodbye to his family, picks up a rifle and heads out. I read that as "all of these civilians are hosed". This scene seems to conflict with the dialog where I think Lefcourt or someone else says that the Minbari have left the human colonies alone and have only gone after the military, possibly because the Minbari caste system dictates the warriors die first and then the they move through the civilians. It's more a scene to where Londo can talk about humanity's resilience and willingness to fight the impossible. Angry Salami posted:I always felt the show should have done more with the idea that the anti-alien movement on Earth isn't just ignorant bigotry, but a fairly understandable reaction to narrowly surviving a war against a genocidal alien empire. I kinda feel the reporter in "And Now For A Word..." kinda had a point calling out Delenn's transformation as a pretty insulting gesture given what the Minbari had tried to do. Definitely. From the average human's perspective, they went from being heroes after helping defeat Space Mengele and his Space Nazis and a few years later suddenly having an alien race no one has ever heard of killing them while never asking for anything and everyone else, especially the people you just helped, go "wow that sucks" while making a show of patting their pants for change and then walking away.

The Black Star was going in to kill a bunch of a crippled ships. It's not like it was coming in to render aid and take the survivors as POWs.

Jedit posted:It was the biggest Minbari defeat and humanity's only really significant victory in space. Except for the entire Dilgar War.

Habibi posted:Anybody else getting that Superman walk across America storyline vibes from the premise for this movie? It reminds me of JMS's Happy Birthday Spiderman mini-arc where Spider-man interferes with Doctor Strange's spell and they both get cast outside of time and Doc Strange has Spider-man travel through his life, both future and past, to get back to his present moment.

Open Source Idiom posted:I'm not enjoying early season two on rewatch. Ivanova finally getting more to do is good, but I reckon thr Sheridan swap could have been more dramatically handled, and there's a run of meh episodes. This horror episode where Doctor Franklin tries to root his patient hours after she learned her husband died is particularly lame. Isn't the bit where he takes Dust and talks to a vision of his dead father (or a Vorlon posting as his dead father) his "come to G'Quan" moment?

Small White Dragon posted:Them sitting around "admiring the view" when they lost the Shadow War seems... odd, although I guess the Shadows wouldn't simply eliminate every sentient species, that would probably be a failure of their edict. It almost makes sense to me that if the Shadows won, Earth would come out on top. The Shadows would contain or defeat the Minbari, they'd have the Centauri fighting the Narn and the League and stretched too thin to fight the Earth Alliance when the Shadows had Clarke move against them.

I was wondering because it wasn't that long ago he was on Supergirl and he sounded the same.

SlothfulCobra posted:They have some kind of hyperspace coordinate system, giving psychics the Markab system is a lot cleaner than I expected assuming that the Markab have an acceptable biosphere for human life. I assumed the coordinate system relied heavily on the existence of beacons.

Powered Descent posted:Except that we see plenty of ships that can open their own jump points (White Stars, Cortez, Minbari warships, etc.). And besides, the gates had to be built in the first place somehow. If there was a need for a lot of traffic to go to Markab again, there's no reason it wouldn't be possible to build a new one. It's not finding a ship that can open a jump point, as you noted (though it seems like only mostly government vessels are the ones equipped with jump engines), it's that with the gate gone, can people even find the Markab homeworld in hyperspace again?

Jedit posted:The Narn are a major power and have their own seat on the Advisory Council. If they had just one world, or even only a couple, they'd be a member of the League instead. So it's known that they've done some rapid expansion in the 25 years preceding the show. When you expand rapidly, you can't always hold everything you grab. I'd just as easily assume Londo means the Centauri took enslaved Narn to other colonies

The most we saw was General Franklin leading EA land force against some other alien rebellion as a favor to the local government. But even then you didn't see anything about the combat, just the aftermath. I seem to recall an image of like VTOL/Skynet Hunter Killer type things but that was about it.

Fingers crossed some ships from Space Above and Beyond make it onto DVD menus.
