Third Age...define?
Random Chaos
Actually Carefully-selected Order in disguise
in Babylon 5
I am curious if anyone knows how the "Third Age" is defined and what the other two ages are? I am refering to the introl theme "It was the dawn of the third age."
This has always been something I haven't figgured out...what does JMS consider the first 2 ages of mankind?

Actually...I know the answer [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]
Age 0 (zero): Aardvarks became ascendant on earth. The soon were represed by the humans though. Vowing to get revenge, they developed large sling shots that allowed them to be vaulted into hyperspace. It is rumored that at least one of these adventurous aardvarks came in contact with the Vorlons.

Sheridan, "It's a new age, Delenn. A third age."
Delenn, "Why third?"
Sheridan, "We began in chaos, to primitive to make our own decisions. Then we were manipulated from the outside, by forces that thought they knew what was best for us and now we are finally standing on our own."

There are some of the older posters lurking around, and speaking of 13 year olds (or younger), what ever happend to Jamie ( I think that was his name?) gah, he's probably what now 17? 18? trouble? [/b][/quote]
That's the one I was talking about. We haven't seen him in ages, but you're right. He'd be about 17 or 18 now. Scary thought. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/biggrin.gif[/img]
