Hey guys, no tormenting Ery by making references to future eps and the like. Play nice (grins)
Sindatur, yup, that's her, the original Psi-Kitten.
This ep does give us our first glance into the Psi Corps. Fun bunch, aren't they Ery? Happy to do whatever it takes including experimenting on their own. Not much more to say that hasn't been said though.
Tonight's ep had my all time favorite line in it. It is in my currant signature here. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/wink.gif
I think it is the most beautiful line that JMS ever wrote. *grin*
------------------
Vir: Kiron may die because our "glorious" tradition values wealth and power over love.
Londo: My shoes are too tight.
Vir: Excuse me?
Londo: Something my father said. He was old, very old at the time. I went into his room, and he was sitting alone in the dark, crying. So I asked him what was wrong, and he said, "My shoes are too tight, but it doesn't matter, because I have forgotten how to dance." I never understood what that meant until now. My shoes are too tight, and I have forgotten how to dance. - Babylon 5

- Namesake of AsIs the kitten!

Some links to more detailed analysis of the Battle of the Line and what happened to Sinclair. I love the Lurkers Guide (grins)
Battle of the Line
Sinclair on the Minbari Ship
I have always enjoyed this episode, mainly because we find out what happened to Sinclair and why he is so bloody formal.
What do we learn?
1) Sinclair was on the military fast track but was stopped due to what happened at the Line
2)Sincalir really didn't remmber what happened ont he Line. It had been possible that he remembered but had been orded not to tell anyone what happened, although that seemed like a bit of a long shot
3) Delenn was on the Grey Council during the war. She meet Sinclair 10 years before coming to B5.
4)For some reason the Minbari targeted Sinclair. Even without reading the Lurkers synopsis this is pretty clear. Sinclair's squadron is wiped out but he remains unscathed. That was always a wee bit suspicious. After the squad is wiped out, he is brought aboard. It is possible that the Minbari just randomly picked Humans to bring aboard and Sinclair got lucky.
Questions that the episode leaves us with
1) Why can't Sinclair be allowed to remember?
2) Why is Delenn at B5? She is a member of the Grey Council, so why send her ans an Ambassador. It would appear that it has something to do with Sinclair (she did tell Caroline in the pilot that in the matter of Sinclair she can ony observe)
3) What exactly did the Minbari learn that caused them to end the war?
4) Who sent the people to interrogate Sinclair?
5) how did they get Sinclair out of his quarters and to the rom they were holding him in?
Gads Sindatur! Between you and PC I have to turn in my homework EVERY DAY or I get in trouble http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/tongue.gif
I really am getting into this, and I'm going to be in even bigger trouble missing Tuesday through Thursday this week, unless the hotel in San Jose carries SciFi.
Let me get some work done then I'll think out loud on "Sky Full of Stars"
HEHE Ery, sorry, didn't mean to put pressure on ya, if you're busy, I suppose we can let you turn in your homework late, LOL.
In San Jose you may find Babylon 5 and SciFi Channel on Channel 21B at 7pm Ca time that's what TCI has for San Jose. You're gonna be here in town tomorrow thru Thursday?

Ery!
Use the forc...er...VCR! Record Mode! LOL
Ery...Hope you have better luck than I'm having. Sheridan (Sheraton? Hmmmm) doesn't have it here in Boca Raton. I'm tempted to find out just how far Gainsville is from here at this point...

Thanks guys... yes Owly, I'll be in San Jose from tomorrow evening through Thursday afternoon. And if we ever had been able to figure out how our VCR works with the demmed digital cable, I'd record the eps but it's hopeless.
Since I've just gotten up from watching "Deathwalker" I'll think out loud about that for a time. I see parallels between this ep and others in the allusions to global weaponry and war. Even the elixer the deathwalker (not going to try and spell her name) has created has ominous overtones from the start, not unlike the mad Dr. Mengele's experiments in Nazi Germany, with the Minbari again playing an inexplicably neutral role.
Question: If Deathwalker's just come out of hiding with the windswords, how do Earth and the Narn know about her and her invention so quickly?
I also found Kosh's use of Talia Winters most interesting. The Vorlon ambassador's always been such an enigmatic figure, but here he takes both inexplicable and direct action, the former by recording Talia's thoughts (that seems to be the role of the "vicar?") and by destroying the deathwalker. It's almost like the Vorlons are there to maintain a balance of power.
I do love the way the Vorlons measure the days. "The Hour of Scampering!" LOL!
