[color=orange]> As I recall, it was the only scene during the series proper where we saw an Olympus corvette (the others being in ITB and ACTA).[/color]
Correct, "Sleeping in Light" is the only episode of the show with Olympus-class present.
[color=orange]> I think it's the scene from Sleeping in Light. It does explain the "Now what is that doing in the movie?" caption.[/color]
Anyone remember JMS saying this:
[INDENT][I]"There will also be a separate set-piece placed just before the main title sequence that will tie back visually to our series finale, "Sleeping in Light," in kind of a tribute to the end of that volume and the starting of this one."[/I][/INDENT]
[color=orange]> Anyone remember the pilot promo that had a moon or two as well?[/color]
Oh, yeah. Green moon.
[color=orange]> And what promo are you talking about? The concept art?[/color]
Jack meant "The Gathering" pilot, original non-TNT version, right Jack? ;)
Woohoo!!! New pics!!! I like the new logo setup its dark but yet light at the same time. Think it conveys the message B5 told from the start, the fight between light and dark.
Scale wise the Sharlin does look huge but compared to a Centauri Primus it is huge. I think scale wise the Breen Cruisers were roughly similar in size (but obviously not bigger than a Sharlin). JMS did say there would be a new Minbari cruiser but I think its more a Presidential Liner than a combat vessel. And just taking a Sharlin and making it bigger would just be lazy really. I remember that the Vree had 2 different size saucers in the show with one being bigger than the other.
[color=orange]> Not only lazy, but also lame.[/color]
Please, dudes, note that this sequence is a CGI re-do from "Sleeping in Light". There was no Presidential Cruiser in "Sleeping in Light" hence this oversized Sharlin isn't a new Presidential Cruiser.
Yea, there is a problem with sizes of either Sharlin or Primus, but I hope it will be dealt with. :)
Was there ever any consistency to begin with in regards to the sharlin? :P that thing was always floating around with no regard for achieving a consistent size. Sometimes it would be enormous, sometimes it would be tiny. Maybe they varied in size, but the point is really just that it shouldn't me as much of a problem as long as it flies the right direction...
The same couldn't be said for the Nial fleet in B5LR ;)
Yeah, sizes and tech-wise "Babylon 5" is something "Star Trek" or "Star Wars" would never dream about becoming one.
The show lacks a tech-geek-person who can bring everything to right and canon scale and size, class and type but maybe it's even cooler this way?
There are downsides, of course. Namely "canon/non-canon" wars among the fans, with everyone (VEX/AoG/Mongoose/B5Tech/...) claiming to be one and only ultimate authority.

It got killed by the Purple moon (beat you all to it!). And what promo are you talking about? The concept art?

:D
I have a picture somehwere that shows a shot of the Station, Epsilon 3, and it's moon (not green that I remember though)...

Yeah, I just hate when your 100 acres of corn is just beginning establish a decent stand and a spring hailstorm tears it to shreds....
