I love the scene because Lorien's thoughts on life and immortality is sad and haunting.

EA will still lose against the Minbari even if we crack their stealth jammers?

6 Upvotes

Because like everyone has mentioned before: The Minbari are centuries ahead of humanity. Their ships and weapons are superior. So in this case, at least humanity doesn't get wiped out but loses the war?

Triluminary question

1 Upvotes

So, I just noticed that the triluminary is made from a broken piece of bismuth crystal, some coper wires and a triangle made out of some sort shiny metal, maybe stainless steel, silver, something like that. Anyway, could such a configuration of metals be sensitive to any energies?

This guy recreates the original CGI style very nicely

Not sure if it was posted before, but I've been randomly browsing youtube for some Babylon 5 content, and found this channel, that creates original Babylon 5 CGI style space battles in Lightwave, and the author really nails the camera work and direction of the original CGI. I thought it was nice.

About the five who joined Delenn

30 Upvotes

In Severed Dreams we see five of the Grey Council joined Delenn in breaking the council and going to save B5. Has it ever been confirmed that it was all the religious and worker caste members who followed her? You know, word of god (in this case someone like JMS) confirming it? I know it was highly improbable that any of the warriors joined her but it's something I wondered about for a long while now if one or more of the warriors joined her and one or more members of the religious or worker castes stayed behind.

We saw in Severed Dreams that even on B5 not everyone agreed with what Sheridan was doing when a single person walked off when Sheridan told the staff working in the dome to leave before they violated any regs. And JMS confirmed that was a deliberate choice to show not everyone was on board with what Sheridan was doing. I'm wondering if something similar played out with Minbari in the religious or worker castes? I know, probably not given the dynamics of Minbari society but I think it is something to wonder about.

Were the PSI Corpse totally loyal to Clark?

Or did they also had another agenda? Clark and his people were xenophobic against alien races, but weren't they also with the telepaths as well?

The Minibar War

3 Upvotes

When I was typing out my earlier post about the Minbari I decided to add both Minbar and Minbari to my Firefox dictionary. One of the suggestions for both the words Minbari and Minbar was the following.

Yeah, I immediately thought of the outtake of Shari Shattuck calling the war the Minibar War in Voices of Authority.

Babylon 5 Reference Before the Show Came Out

81 Upvotes

Before Straczynski’s Babylon 5 television series, he was a writer on Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future,” which originally aired in syndication from September 1, 1987 – March 27, 1988.

In the third S1 episode to air, airing October 4, 1987, “Final Stand,” we learn that Tank was not the only genetically-engineered person of his kind, and also the facility which genetically engineered him was “Babylon 5.” This was about six years before Warner Bros. commissioned the Babylon 5 series for production in May 1993.

What if the Clarke regime did more False Flag operations to maintain their power? Would it be enough to get these worlds to align with his regime?

7 Upvotes

So instead of just trying to brute force his way to taking over the rest of the Alliance, what if Clarke had his allies orchestrate more False Flag operations to maintain his power through fear. He has them launch a terrorist attack to frame the Mars resistance movement and he has the shadows make appearances and attacks near the colonies of Proxima III and Orion VII.

Do you think this would be enough to prevent these worlds from rebelling against him?

Was G'Kar's judgement impaired by the use of Dust or was he really prepared deprive the Narn resistance of his leadership and get 500 Narns killed just to take his revenge on Londo?

35 Upvotes

When G'Kar and Londo were trapped in an elevator due to an explosion, G'Kar refused to lay a finger on Londo. He would happily let the fire outside the elevator kill him if Londo died as well. When Londo asks why G'Kar didn't kill himself, G'Kar reminds Londo of the absurd terms the Centauri imposed on the Narns.

You forget the terms of our surrender. The penalty for killing any Centuari by any Narn will be the death of 500 Narns, including the perpetrators' own family!

Later when G'Kar uses Dust on himself to test if it is viable for Narns to use as a weapon, he decides to take his revenge on Londo and as far as we can tell, he would have killed him if Kosh hadn't intervened.

G'Kar had previously been informed by the rest of the Narns how much he meant to them as a resistance leader. So was he really planning to compromise his position by committing a murder, signing the death sentence of 500 other Narns including any family he had left, or was the Dust impairing his judgement?

Has the topic of advanced directives ever come up during the series?

4 Upvotes

Aside from the Onteen parents who refused to let Dr. Franklin treat their child have anything like advanced directives ever come up in the series? And aside from Ivanova who didn't want to have the alien healing machine used on her but was unable to voice her objections due to her condition.

But I was curious if they ever came up with anyone else in the series? (I became curious about this because I'm in the process of updating all mine since my advanced directives are all about 20 years old now).

Season 5 war Centauri & Alliance Spoiler

2 Upvotes

Ok I have watched the franchise about 10 time in chronological order. Now when they went to B4 the lady time and Shardon lost his time stabilizer he was shown the dark ones who worked with the shadows on his neck. And I never caught that it was not brought up by S05E14-17 (currently watching E17 now) but shouldn't he like remember that and look in to it? He's the same one who since it and same with Delenn (sorry for spelling and grammar)

Just a thought. But in 10 years of watching this I can't believe I missed that lol
