What ever happened to that first movie?
I remember watching the movie "In the Beggining" on Fox a few years ago. As I recall it was the first thing I ever saw of the B5 universe and it got me hooked. When they syndicated the show they obviously didnt the movie(which might i add was a big mistake). I wonder what ever happened to that tape.

The second in command ordered the "screens" to be raised when the Vorlons showed up. Then she ordered the defense grid to come online.

I think the "screens" were the intercepters (is that what they are called?). They shoot down incoming fire. The defense grid is actual weapons. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Consistency is unimpressed with a single success. It confers medals only upon those who burn brightly with the repetition of achievement. It is performance over time. Consistency means never resting on your laurels. Never taking your talent for granted. It is the visible proof that we are as good as we think we are.

Interceptors = Anti projectile fire
Defense grid = Interceptors and offensive weapons control (including point defense guns).

Historically (although things change from one virtual universe to the next):
Screens are a surrounding energy field that absorb energy attacks.
Shields are a surrounding energy field that reflect/deflect energy, particle, and matter based attacks.
Interceptors (or Interceptor Fire) more globally "intercept" incoming fire of whatever nature the attacking fire is comprised of.
Defense Grid is the "system" of defensive or offensive weapons of whatever nature that are tied (as points on a grid) together into one control system.

EA had screen technology.
Very few of the races in the B5 universe have shielding technology. The few examples I can think of are:
Alien Fighters in "Thridspace".
The Abbai
And the Alien ship that abducted Sheridan and that other Narn.
There may be a few more but it isn't common...
The defensive skins of Shadow and Vorlon vessels are more akin to screens, as they absorb attack until they fail.
