Spoilers  He's back in time banging Lochley.

It still tickles me that Time Winters is one of the guest actors in a time-travel episode.

Maybe speed up the playback, too.  My laptop lets me play DVDs a little faster while still hearing the audio.  So if you play the subpar episodes at 1.4x or 1.2x, at least you get through them in a half hour or so.

hmm…I see your point, but the Minbar stuff is still pretty local.  Would Zathras know Sheridan from the Great Machine if he had only deposed Clarke?

Good food for thought, everybody.  I can definitely understand her "do not go to Z'ha'dum!" right before he goes back in time as an emotional reaction to losing him, similar to Sinclair warning Garibaldi when he knows he can't (and shouldn't) try to change the past.

When I bought my house, I had some electrical and plumbing work done (no, he didn't fix the cable; don't be fatuous).  The guy doing the work found an old VHS porn tape above the drop ceiling in the dining room.  It was some sort of naughty nurses thing on one of those tapes that weighed about 5 lbs.  Pretty lame porn

If you mean the scene at the very end of part 1 ("tradition"), I think the staging hurt it, too.  They rush into a corridor, have a hurried, stilted conversation, then rush down the corridor again.  If they'd been able to film it as a walk-and-talk, it might have worked a little better.

Very Minor Spoilers

In fairness, I think most of us have been mind-conrolled by nipples on a few occassions.

Oh man, Shadows vs. Great Machine is a great idea.  Zathras could take over a Shadow ship because he's so loopy the conditioning wouldn't take.

Whoah, his hair is dark matter!

ZATHRAS KNOWS THESE SPOILERS

Did John Cage write the music for that episode?

I think Garibaldi would fit well into the Ricky slot.  "Ah nuts, what kind of mess have you two gotten into this time?"

When you put it that way, Delenn got the shaft* as far as Space Jesuses (Jesii?) go, didn't she?  The One Who Is is basically just Sheridan's cheerleader, more of a Space John the Baptist.  The One Who Was is freakin' Valen and The One Who Will Be, well, we'll get to that.  I do think JMS tried hard with his female

I think they dealt with that a little bit in In The Beginning, but I only watched that the once when it came out and could be wrong.  Assuming it's part of the coverage, I'll watch it again when we get there.

"Momentum" is the word I was looking for.  I remember thinking this two-parter was really cool the first time I saw it, largely because, as Rowan notes, it was all new information and I didn't know where things were going.  Plus, the concept of these endless cycles of Shadow/Vorlon conflicts was cool and Sinclair

Maybe seeing it on screen would help me figure out what the hell is going on in those books.

That wasn't my experience.  I've read everything by Gibson, a bunch of Sterling, Richard K. Morgan, etc. and enjoyed the hell out of Snow Crash. 

Can Tiger Woods act?
