@avclub-285910f5ff9f9eddf129c46fc2bc5982:disqus — FWIW, it's a myth that fuses stop surges. Fuses will stop overcurrent events and short circuits, but they won't do anything for surges.

Thought experiment: Adolph Hitler, or Joseph Stalin, instead of Jack the Ripper.

I think the problem with Delenn's arc is that it more-or-less ends at Comes the Inquisitor. From this point forward, she's very rarely given the opportunity to do anything other than play set-piece roles in other characters' arcs. She doesn't advance her own arc in any way other than by deepening her relationship with…

@avclub-146bc30c345d31f3468fec764a1970e1:disqus — yeah, that's a more accurate guess than going with terminal velocity.
Having done a bit more research on this, I've realized its a hard problem. The velocity of B5's atmosphere, relative to the surface, wouldn't be constant and won't even increase linearly from the axis…

I've never looked into JMS' personal politics but B5 is very much neocon wingnut in its orientation.

Giving a sadist carte blanche to torture people isn't exactly punishment.

….something something extrajudicial killings by drone something something  something something extraordinary rendition something something gitmo something black sites something something quasi-official propaganda something something with us or against us something something a lot of parallels here that will be lost on…

@avclub-6d8e5be200a835beb77d899f00b890a5:disqus — Having used some of the software B5 used for their VFX it's very impressive what the effects people managed to do back then.

A falling body would pick up some radial velocity due to interactions with the station atmosphere, which would reduce the splatter effect somewhat. To take a rough guess, he'd probably hit at something near terminal velocity for a body, which is about 200 km/h.

Unless Sebastian killed Sheridan as well, it's certain everyone would know she did it.

Never underestimate the power of color affinity.

A few things, mostly spoilery, some ranty:

It's the little things like that which date a series.

@avclub-f14314bf4d4a1bd450664f089241fe86:disqus — Meh. ItF was just plain awful. Naturally, spoilers.

I'll take option #3: "Sheridan" and "conflict of interest" are two phrases JMS either didn't think of or expected everybody else to ignore.

@Chico_McDirk:disqus — "It doesn't matter if you save a million people from being burned alive, but if you fuck just one donkey, you'll always be remembered as the guy who fucked a donkey."

Now is a good time to bring up the never-answered question from C&L: what was it that Delenn saw as a child that she believed was Valen?
