Random questions about B5

Which way to docking bay 13?

[David Panzer]

John Sheridan was taking a stroll out on the stabilizer arms as Kosh Vader arrived at the station.

What was the message that appeared to John on the skin of the Vorlon's ship??

I got a few

We don't brake for pebbles
My other ship is more impressive
How many licks does it take to get to the center of our encounter suits?
I'm also at Milliways. They make killer Jovian Sunspots

JMS has never said what the message was.

Well, there were about ten people stationed in C and C normally, can you name any of them but Corwin?* So, Willis certainly could be in charge of (some of) the docking bays.

But I know what you mean, the gravity on the Enterprise got knocked down to .8 everytime something happened because they played the same "background chatter" they recorded in the pilot.


* Main characters excepted, of course.

Maybe it's like one of those never-answered pages at the airport; like the person requesting it got the name wrong and they forgot to delete it from the daily log so whoever reads the announcements has been paging Willis for months...

It's whatever I said the first time; I had the info in front of me the first time. The number probably slipped out of my mind when I logged on and saw all that goose spam this morning.

But...but... you said:



How are we supposed to get it right if you don't give us the correct information?!?

Sheesh...

Just my little ode to background walla. Chief Willis gets paged to cargo bay seven during virtually every fifth season...

But...but... you said:

...why does he spend so much time in cargo bay four?

Me, too.

Just my little ode to background walla. Chief Willis gets paged to cargo bay seven during virtually every fifth season scene in a docking bay. Once you've noticed it, you can't un-notice it; you find yourself obsessing about Willis's life, how he feels about Lochley, the situation with the Centauri, etc.

OK, in The Gathering, and regarding the arrival of Kosh, Sinclair say words to the effect of "I don't want a repeat of what happened when G'Kar arrived!"

Does anyone know what that referes to?

Londo showed up in drag - dressed in Narn female attire. It was considered a great insult to the Narn people. And two of Londo's "six" were on display due to the hemline.

The less said, the better.

Just a random thought -

In an interview JMS was reflecting on how nice it was that WB was hands-off for the most part on the creation of B5.

At one point he did mentioned a rare suggestion from an executive about the possibility of Ivanova getting a valentines from a secret admirer - pretty easy to scoff at the idea but...

Ivanova did get a bouquet of roses from an 'unknown' admirer that turned out to be a pretty good gag.

I guess the moral of the story is what would be Grade-A schlock on any other series could be turned on it's head and benefit if given to the right actors.

That scene was so cute and funny. It was the type of situation, beginning with a misunderstanding that could happen to anyone. A sitcom, or StarTrek ep could revolve an entire show around it, but with B5 it was just a cute little scene, that enhanced without calling undue attention to itself.
