[AsIs]

Just a reminder, the reedited Gathering they are now showing has a few spoilers in it for the rest of the season, so try not to discuss that particular part of the episode in this topic.

And Ery, great to have you on board

[sindatur]

Oh, one other piece of advice, tape the episodes of the series and watch them a second time (or more). There is alot of things in the backgrounds that you don't neccessarily notice, the first time, 'cause you're concentrating on the forefront. Looks from soneone accross the room that mean nothing now, but will mean something later, things hanging on the wall, etc.

[Erythrina]

OK gang, virgin no more!

I howled at the scene with Lyta and G'Kar; he reminds me of a lot of guys in bars trying out their best pick-up lines. But I really need a program to start memorizing everyone's name.

Questions: why would everyone go out on a limb all at the same time over the Vorlon ambassador? With so many other Babylon stations toasted, doesn't it seem like at least one person would have said, dese are da rules and I'm sticking to 'em?

[ProfCrash]

This is said int he show so it isn't a spoiler (grins)

None of the other Babylon stations survived long enough for any type of rules to be established. The first three were destroyed prior to being completed and the fourth disappeared just after it became operational. B5 is the first to make it to the point were it was actually being used for its intended purpose.

As was mentioned int he show, the Vorlon Amabassadors arrival is a big step because it means that all of the major powers are represented. As for why the Vorlons don't follow the rules, all Ic an say is keep watching. You will learn more about the Vorlons as the series goes on. Lets just say that they are an interesting race and leave it at that, for now. (grins)

[sindatur]

Well Ery (anybody else?),

Now that you've seen the pilot and can see the promise of some of our references finally making sense, whatcha think?

What's your view of the series and your analsys of the characters. That's one of the funnest parts (well aside from the CGI and the mystery) is whatching how your analses of the characters change throughout the series.

[ProfCrash]

Azziz, yeah I remembered that when that scene hit. The question is, did Ery catch it. (grins) I ma not sure that it is simething we would have caught if this had been the original cut.
