I had forgotten the LotR Changeling net. We wont find out how that would have played out. JMS may well have found a way to make it work. He made reading the future work. That is normally a show killer for me. Hard to think the Wind Swords only had one or couldn't make a second.
I've not yet read the Centauri Prime books :(
I'm still on the numbered books. Betrayals next.
On to: And the Sky Full of Stars
1) Franklin not turning over notes, destroying them. Were dose he draw the line? How aware must something be before he wont kill it?
2) Sinclair all alone in B5. Spooky. I hate it when that happens.
3) On the news paper Garabuldi is reading,... Home Guard leader convicted, Psy-Corps in election tangle, Pros and Cons of inter species mating. Like in book #4.
Hints solutions comedy.
4) Would I spill my guts if someone used the memory of my best friend?
5) If I fail more will come. Did that include the EYEs investigation?
6) Paranoia over ofworlder buying of Earth land and Corps. I would be nervous.
7) This early in the show and Sinclair's having been probed is out. My mouth was open the whole time!
8) Not impressed with Sinclair being able to get out of the mind net thing.
9) 'He must never know what happened. If he should find out he must be killed.' The Minbari with Delen. Was he not aware why they surrendered? Or was the show going in a different way?
10) Sinclair tells Delen he recalls nothing,.. He lied.
Well, the Wind Swords didn't have it. They bought it from Del Varner, who got it from wherever you buy dangerous and forbidden ultra-high technology, apparently at great risk and expense. Apparently, it just wasn't worth the trouble to try to find another one, especially since Babylon 5 and Earth would be on the look out for them in the future.
5. I'm pretty sure Colonel Scarface was just a lone psycho looking to get his digs into Sinclair.
9. The other Minbari's position was that, rather than let Sinclair's Minbari soul get corrupted, it would probably be better just to kill the body and let it go (hopefully, so it could be reborn into a proper Minbari body next time).
9. Most of the time. There are exceptions to every rule. [url=http://jmsnews.com/msg.aspx?id=1-1368]But don't take my word for it.[/url]
5. Good point. I don't think there's enough to go on, but I agree that if Ben Zayn wasn't working with Clark's movement, he probably would've been sooner or later.
Well, the Wind Swords weren't scientists. The Minbari scientists were probably Worker Caste (or possibly Religious Caste, since they had enough scientific and engineering expertise to build their own ships in secret). The Wind Swords would probably be unwilling and unable to find someone in either of those two groups who would help them forward their agenda. It's moot, anyway, since the Wind Swords' only Changeling Net was blown up, and they probably had a tighter lease put on them soon afterward, preventing them from buying another.
Wind Swords are Warrior class. Ether from 'Death Walker' episode or from "The Gathering" '
Death Walker', todays episode,...
The Wind Swords made great weapons for the war against Earth. Death Walker helped them. They had the ability.
Good job on the link.
On to Death Walker ( or is it Deathwalker? )
1)Kosh hires Talya
2) Natath meets Death Walker,.. >POW< *BASH* `OOPH'
3) The important business with Talya begin,... Crab Nebula.... Talya rolls her eyes.
4) Wind Swords harbored Death Walker. Minbari used Death Walker's weapons became ashamed and too embarrassed to do anything about her. So they covered Death Walker being there up.
5) At least Garibaldi knows enough to distrust Death Walker.
6) The Non Alined Worlds send ships to get Death Walker. What was Earth thinking?
7) The great line after Sinclair is told what one of the ingredients are gathered from.
You think you could never do what we did? You will become us!
I didn't like the god card being played as the end solution.
1) Cutting the boy open is a bad thing. No over-population problem here.
2) The mention of 'jumps'. Just exactly is a 'jump'? Why are there more then one 'jump' when going far?
3) Franklin thinks he should be able to do anything to keep the body going.
4) What exactly did Delin mean when she sad ' suffered the interference of others' ?
5) None of the ambasadors were willing to help the followers of the egg.
6) Sinclair tells Franklin not to operate. Good. Not the easy way feels good way out. :)
7) Susan sed to hell with the regs? No no no. I'm hoping all the other pirates showing up on the screen was the lesson.
8) Franklin decided he is correct and everyone elce is wrong. At least anyone who took a stand. ;)
I wounder if that is the mane point of the story? A hint to the Inquisitor.
2. The jumpgate network operates on a hub-and-spoke system. Most of the time, you can't go directly to your destination, but you have to travel though several connecting systems (sort of like how when you take a Delta flight, you always have to change planes in Atlanta, even if you're going from New York to Chicago). Also, only a given jumpgate can only connect certain amount of other jumpgates without interference, so sometimes, you have to travel in normal space between two (relatively nearby) jumpgates to continue on your trip (that's why we keep seeing freighters on long journeys flying through normal space, even though it's so much slower. They're switching jumpgates).
7/8: As I understood it, Ivanova found the Raider fleet, thus spoiling their surprise attack, and saving the passenger liner. When she broke the rules, she ended up saving the day, but when Franklin broke the rules, his patient was killed. I believe the moral of the story was that, appropriately enough, there's no rule about when you should break the rules.
Wasn't it mentioned somewhere that gate's sit at Lagrange points? I think that would also explain why there is a limited number of them.
Also hyperspace is an extremely hostile environment to navigate. Those races with more primitive navigation systems (such as the humans), would rather play it safe, and make a series of shorter jumps rather than try to cross some vast expanse of hyperspace and get lost in the process.

B5 is at a Lagrange point. I wouldn't be surprised if gates are placed at them too, though.
From what can be determined, there are two options for hyperspace:
1. The safe route
2. The fast route.
1 involves travel through normal space as well as hyperspace in order to avoid (supposedly) areas of turbulence and navigational hazards. 2 involves staying strictly in hyperspace and seems to be reserved to military use, perhaps due to the availability of more refined navigational components when compared to civilian craft.
2) Garabauldi pined for setting off a bomb by a dieing person.
3) Garabauldi punches a president guard and runes off?!? Steals a shirt then tries to get a pass from a criminal?!? WTF!!! Laws don't apply to him in his mind? Better wrighting would have him solve the bombing from behind bars not as a fugitive.
That 3ed rate job is why I don't watch the 1st two years of ST;NG.
What this episode has is Garabauldi's drinking history, the new fighters and the president's visit.
I think i forgot something.
4) Sinclair finds a way around rituals that satisfied J'Kar. Did the Centari let the Narn have there Religious days off? And during the war?
5) Sit ins look better then fighting when on the news.
I find this episode about Sinclair finding a better way to settle problems.
But what of the money taken from the military's side? Did the improved equipment and more workers improve things enough to make up for the money taken?
Anyway Sinclair won public opinion.
PS I somehow managed to lose what I had tipped earlier. This is a worse second draft, sorry.
[QUOTE=David of Mac;162715]3) Morden was on his way to ask Sinclair when Kosh stopped him.[/QUOTE]
woah, you serious? I guess that makes sense, since he says "They are not for you." Very interesting, I thought Kosh was just talking about the younger races in general. Changes my perspective quite a bit.
Yep. Both the Shadows and the Vorlons wanted humanity to be their next major protege. The Vorlons worked on winning them over to the side of Law and Order on B5, while the Shadows tried to get them through Clarke.
I wonder if either of those groups realized that humanity would rise to challenge them, pushing them aside, hence their want to ally with them? Or did they simply see humans as a young, but capable race?
1) Telling people the Narcoleen feeder is Kosh. Well what ever works. Sinclair saying: People don't know what you look like. They thought it could have been you. Kosh saying good, too funny.
2) Sinclair saying Albus was the only True Seeker Earth had and Delin saying "Perhaps you do not know your self as well as you think"
I'm not sure just what she meant by that. Was it just a complement? Was it referring to his ability at negotiation?
3) Duce, wow what a criminal! Getting a feeder. Top notch crook.
Were we supposed to git out of this episode no one knowing what Kosh looks like? Delin pleased to see a human True Seeker?
Hahaha my friend and I went on a marathon recently, we skipped TKO. The Ivanava trail is okay, but holy crap the wrestling thing? Shouldn't have been made. Ever.
I was introducing a friend to Babylon 5. We had to stop for summer, since we're in different cities now, but now I'm wondering if I should skip TKO. Probably not, because it would be dishonest. Also, we're watching the Lurker's Guide order, and it's bumped near the end of the season there (probably so it doesn't scare anyone away ;))
2) Benzane claim to know Garabalid and didn't know he quit drinking?
3) Ivanava and Gray. She seemed to be afraid both of the memory of her mother under the sleepers and being caught. Ivanava becomes her mother in her dream.
4) Benzane uses Garabaldi. Did he think Garabauldi hated Sinclair? Or just full of himself and think everyone else would be too?
5) Earth Central falling apart, The President attacked on all sides. I had to watch the shows a few times before the standard wrighting of each episode for itself was shown to be false with B5! :D Garabauldi's paranoia will be showen to have been correct.
6) Sinclair finds a way to avoid the scans in the rules. I wounder if thats part of what people don't like about Sinclair.
7) Bester and Benzane friends, in high places.
8) Ivanava thinking of Talia? Hummmmm.
9) Never confine Sinclair. He only looks things up to use against his opponents. Benzane didn't know the people he was investigating as well as he thought.
10) Ivonava's bar fight isn't the same as losing one's temper. Letting off steam is different. Just don't over do it.
11) The senator saying he couldn't help Sinclair just yet but when the time comes. Like Sharaden to Ja'Kar.
So many hints.
I get from this episode Sinclair will keep his job. ( too bad the viewers didn't like him. ) Power grabs in The Alliance.
2) Minbari have there gun ports open as a sign of respect. From In the Beginning. They should have known that, no?
3) Naroon! :)
4) The bit with Talia both telepathic and audible was so cool.
5) People can switch cast. Religious takes precedence over warrior.
6) Alisa visits Delen. Reads Delen's mind as a tep shouldn't. Alisa, a one show wounder. For me that is bad writing. A cheep tool to move the story along.
7) First statement of a rift between Religious and Warrior cast.
8) Talia and Sue go out for a drink.
9) Chrysalis. Sinclair ask what else Alisa saw in Delins mind. is that ethical?
What I got out of this episode is the friction between Religious and warrior cast.
2) From the episode with actor Michael York, we know there were survivers from the attack on the Minbari ship with the Gray Council.
The EA ships turned tail and ran after attacking. I recall Sheridan saying something about Minbari coming in with gun ports open as a show of respect.
Then again I have a bad memory.
5) I'll put a note to check that out then. As its on the same disk.

5) That just gives a little follow up to the 'more will come' statement. Clark was rather paranoid, enough to do such a thing I think.
Minbar is 1,000 years ahead of us. Wind Swords are a whole clan. I would think them able to reverse engineer the thing.
Tag, your it. :)

Staying on the beacon when going from B5 to the rim and some jumps from Earth to B5 makes way more sense now. :)
"Theres just no rule about when you should break the rules" The best line I've herd in a long wile. :D
Its just that there have been armies for a long time and lots of rules. Almost all the correct thing to do. The armies with bad rules die out.
1) What drinking had done to Garabauldi.
2) Garabauldi pined for setting off a bomb by a dieing person.
3) Garabauldi punches a president guard and runes off?!? Steals a shirt then tries to get a pass from a criminal?!? WTF!!! Laws don't apply to him in his mind? Better wrighting would have him solve the bombing from behind bars not as a fugitive.

Perhaps I should stop watching this one,...
1) Over worked and bad equipment.
2) Religious rituals. Form over function?
3) J'Kar gets into Londo's rooms.
4) Sinclair finds a way around rituals that satisfied J'Kar. Did the Centari let the Narn have there Religious days off? And during the war?
5) Sit ins look better then fighting when on the news.

1) The first Morden.
2) Sinclair's memory starts to come back.
3) The Eye. Londo makes himself the Shadow's choice. I need to go read lurker's guide to find out why Sinclair was not asked.
4) The prediction B5 would fall. It would have if not for those darn kids!
Altering the past to make a better future.
5) Prediction Shadows will kill Lord Kiro.
Delin Building the device.
6) Delen's built in Shadow Detector gos off.
7) Kosh to Morden; Thay are not for you.
8) Ivonava follows an order! /CHEERS!
9) Minbar wanted Sinclair to be caption. 'So, how far down the list was I? Way down'
This seems to be a get the ball rolling show.
woah, you serious? I guess that makes sense, since he says "They are not for you." Very interesting, I thought Kosh was just talking about the younger races in general. Changes my perspective quite a bit.
