That's a pretty good idea too, I never thought about that. Then again, it's not a line I thought much about before at all. I don't know if Valen was supposed to have used the Great Machine, but it's something that came to mind after watching all o…
-
Now about Valen, I said before my idea that he might have been a Centauri that used the Chrysalis, but another idea occurred to me. There was one other way of seeing into the future shown in the first season, the Great Machine. All we really know …

I take it more that Jack and the others just plain didn't notice that the reflective surface was there, so by a great coincidence, it was there for Garibaldi to see when Talia helped him relive the moment. By the way, this is from the script: "Sudd…

I've got some more thoughts, mostly about Valen, but I'll get to that later.
-
Well I'm glad I took so long to get to my thoughts on this since it's given me a lot of time to think. Mostly I've been thinking about Takashima, her control, and the Psi Corps in general. After thinking about it for a while, I've come up with an …

So I've finally gotten to Chrysalis, and the end of this examination of the first season. I'm thinking of watching War Without End again, just to compare how the foreshadowing was changed, and as a sort of send off for Sinclair and Michael O'Hare, …
-
The Quality of Mercy isn't much of an arc episode, and there isn't really much to say about it concerning the original arc. Sinclair is barely in it, so there's nothing to say about him. The healing machine first shows up in this episode, and it r…

That's a good point you guys are making about how Babylon 5 would have been the space station story, and then Babylon Prime would have been the huge epic. I never really thought about that. Though to be fair, even his idea of the first show would …
-
Well if that was the intent, I don't think it got across. Sheridan really does just look too good I think. I like that Garibaldi is criticizing this in the fourth season, but this is all undercut by the fact that he's been altered by the Psi Corps…
-
JMS says that it was losing Micheal O'Hare, and so, Sinclair that really changed it all. I personally suspect that he may have realized that a ten year arc was too much, so he might have been planning on putting everything together. The strangest …
-
I can understand what you're saying. In the show, they reused sets all the time, like how C&C was reused for the bridges of ships like the Agamemnon. It would probably be more interesting if the areas on B4 looked different, but at the same ti…

I guess I stupidly missed my chance earlier with what Croxis did here, but is this legit?: http://theisozone.com/downloads/pc/windows-games/babylon-5-into-the-fire-alpha-210999/

Yeah, I've seen people compare the shuttle leaving the exploding station to the final episode, but to me, it was always clear that it was supposed to be different. In WWE, Sinclair puts it together, and sees that the station blowing up is the same …
-
It's hard for me to really say which version of the story I think is better. I think the stuff about Sinclair's child becoming some holy symbol and a great leader of some super alliance is a bit much, but then again, practically the same thing happ…
-
By the way, this is in fact the first episode to mention Valen. Delenn and the rest of the Grey Council mention him several times. He's obviously the Minbari prophet from the past, and who I personally suspect may have been a Centauri that altered…
-
It's time for the biggest and most important episode in this examination of the original arc, Babylon Squared. I've been teasing at this for a while, only telling some parts of it, but before I begin, I figure I should just quote almost all of the …
-
No way, there are only two possible answers. Either it's a massive world wide conspiracy that secretly went about replacing every Berenstein Bears books with Berenstain Bears books, copying every book down to the folds, tears, and stains, or people…
-
I watched both parts of A Voice in the Wilderness, and this is a pretty hard one to comment on in some ways. There is no mention of Epsilon 3 in the original plan, so it's not clear what exactly was planned with it, but I have a strong feeling that…
-
No, this is clearly the true answer: "You are only 18 and can remember the Berenstein books. That means whatever happened was probably within the last 12 years. My wife and I have 2 children to whom we have read the books and, watched the shows wit…
-
A friend of mine told me about how he was in it, and we could tell it was CGI. I could also tell with... Um, another character that shows up at the end. Should I not spoil this? It's really good, but there are certain things that still give it aw…
-
Signs and Portents is a very important episode in all of this, since it actually foreshadows the end of Babylon 5, with the station being destroyed. Ladira's lines are very important: "I see death... destruction... fire... Babylon will fall... th…
-
In the show as it is, what seems to be going on is that after Sinclair used the Triluminary to become Valen, it was from then on tuned to his genetic code in some way. When it's brought before Delenn in Atonement, it glows and Dukhat knows that she…
-
I also agree about Darth Vader's suit. It just didn't look right. Was it intentional? Also, I forgot to mention this, but something I loved about the movie is that it actually took the war seriously. One problem I really had with Episode 7 (and l…
-
I thought it was great. I liked Episode 7, but as time's gone on I've come to agree with the criticisms of it being practically a remake of the first movie, so that's something I loved about this one, that I genuinely had no idea how things would g…
-
And the Sky Full of Stars is pretty interesting. The original plan states that Sinclair and other EA pilots were taken on board, and it also mentions that the Grey Council was there to oversee the final stages of the war, to either occupy and rule …
-
Yeah, I know there's that, but it still seems like this part of telepaths kind of disappeared as the show went on.
-
There isn't too much to say about Mind War in the context of the original arc. It's still pretty much the same, showing how Psi Corps has gotten totally out of control and is now secretly running Earth society. The original plan barely mentions th…
-
In that episode at least, I got a pretty decent look at Na'toth's neck, and I didn't seem to see anything there. That would be really cool if this was a little detail kept consistent about G'kar that almost no one would notice. I'll have to check …
-
Another thing about this Minbari prophet who foresaw the decline of the Minbari and the alien savior, I just can't help but wonder who he was. Somehow he's able to see into the future, but what's interesting is that the only race we see with this a…

The Parliament of Dreams is a really good episode for this. First of all I'll talk about what Delenn says in the Minbari rebirth ceremony, which is worth repeating in full: "Will you follow me into fire? Into storm? Into darkness? Into death? And …
