  • voice in "Voices of Authority"

    I'm sorry if this is obvious or posted somewhere I missed it, but was that Mr Morden's voice assuring then Vice President Clark that he would be President (soon to be Emperor after he dissolves the Senate) in the transmission Susan intercepted while she was in The Great Machine?
    "And what kind of head of Security would I be if I let people like me know things that I'm not supposed to know? I mean, I know what I know because I have to know it. And if I don't have to know it, I don't tell me, and I don't let anyone else tell me either. " And I can give you reasonable assurances that the head of Security will not report you for doing so."
    "Because you won't tell yourself about it?"

    "I try never to get involved in my own life, too much trouble."

    Yep, that's him. One of those cool little touches that it doesn't matter if you miss it but is really cool if you notice. And if you ever wondered why Morden didn't approach the Earth staff with his famous question, you now know why - he didn't need to.

      Thank you, Jan. I was sure it was, but I "needed confirmation"

        Here's another question: This is a subjective question, but did Kosk seem a bit different in the begining of "Comes the Inquisitor" ? I know it's hard to get emotion from an encounter suit but the tone of his voice seem like he was concerned for Delenn, even his warning about surviving seemed more like he was trying to warn her rather than be threatening, the "if you survive" part. Last, for Kosh he's actually very talkative, using complete sentences and all.

          Well, I'll just keep my little one sided conversation going.

          I thought that the creature that was piloting the ship full of telepaths that had the implants to be used as cores for the Shadow vessels looked like the same thing that came onto Delenn's White Star when they first mentioned the Drahk. I don't think it was a Zenner, they were the ones that put in the implants, but I don't think that was one of them. This leads me to another question: What race was that? A few times, the Drahk looked completely different, but twice, (with Delenn I already mentioned and the time that they threw the knife at Londo on Centauri Prime) they looked like that. Are there 2 types of Drahk? Or do the Drahk have their own servants? Bear in mind I never got any of the novels, so if it's addressed in there, I don't know about it.

            As I recall, there are two types of Drakh. The skeleton kind are more warriors and the kind that Londo spoke to on Centauri Prime are the thinkers &planners.

              Woo, thanks, Jan! After all this time, there's so much I don't know.


              Does anyone else think that was a Red eye Drahk?


              One thing occured to me, the bigger headed Drahk could just be regular Drahk wearing garish helmets, but who knows. I think that Drahk emissary was one of the coolest aliens/effects ever. I don't know how many posters are familiar with a Displacer Beast (from Dungeons & Dragons) but I thought the effect would be similar to that.

                Well, I found this on the Lurker's guide:

                Was the cargo ship's pilot the same species as the surgeons?
                Yep. Same species.

                I guess it wasn't Drakh.


                BTW, if I misspell anything, please feel free to let me know in what ever form you wish.
