Bester details his information-gathering process. “I'm…a telepath. Work it out.”

A few things:

For the record, I did not look at Delenn's post as Sinclair-bashing

Not to mention the Vulcan romance classic At The Time, It Seemed the Logical Thing To Do

According to Wikipedia, B5 has 12 square miles of garden space, which is 7,680 acres.  And according to some quick research (http://www.farmlandlp.com/2…, one acre of crops can feed one person for a year, depending on what kind of crops you grow.  So based on that, 7,680 acres will produce enough food to feed 7,680…

B5 does indeed have its own agriculture, but most of it doesn't seem to be geared towards growing food, I believe they needed plants for oxygen.  I recall an incident where it was revealed that Ivanova was using too much space in hydroponics to grow coffee beans for herself.

Two days by refrigerated truck is a lot less expensive than two days by starship, however, you begin to wonder why they built an actual space station (five times!) rather than finding a habitable planet or building structures on a planet or small moon, as they did with Mars.  B5 would be more self-sufficient if they…

I think, in talking about the security guard, that this is something that would be done differently if it were done now.  The character would have been much more established and foreshadowing a lot more subtle.  I'm sure this has to do with the fact that B5 was treading on new ground (at least for American TV), and…

Well they at least could have let her keep her room or find a way to pay her so she wouldn't have to do some of the things she later did…if it weren't for her, the war would have been lost.  A little appreciation would have been nice.

Bester thinks normals are, literally, a lesser breed of humans who exist to serve and edify telepaths.

I like Bester, I really do.  More importantly, I understand him.  He honestly believes he is protecting his people from what he feels is oppression by humans.  Look at the way Sheridan and Co. treat Lyta Alexander, for example: only calling on her when they need something done.  OK sure Zach explains they're all a…

Wasn't this an episode of The Munsters?

That reminds me of a Star Trek comic (one of the Marvel ones I believe) where the crew of the Enterprise was racing through a series of strange and mysterious places (an amusement park in space of all things) seeking to find out who was behind it all, only to find their old nemesis Harry Mudd at the center.

It's an unfortunate truth that barbarism is easier than civility, and I'm not sure humans will change that much in a couple of centuries.  The difference between justice and revenge has always been a blurry one as far as some people are concerned.

Not only naive, but stupid…he'd seen that the Shadows had no compunctions about killing civilians, why would he think they'd treat the Centauri any differently than they treated the Narn, when they were no longer needed?

@Automocar:disqus , if you were JMS, you would be far more snarky…

At a convention this weekend I was talking to an old dealer friend of mine who was telling me a story about Claudia at a convention in Florida where she was, apparently, stoned out f her mind pretty much the whole weekend.  According to my friend, this guy he knew came up to him during the convention and said he'd…
