I just see no justification for refusing him entry, and given Garibaldi's actions when Sheridan held Morden without charge, I'm not sure he'd go along with arbitrary refusing someone entry. But of course, there's happened and changed a lot since then.<BR/><BR/>M.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031498593064294214.post-65139052001054048132008-08-07T09:22:00.000-04:002008-08-07T09:22:00.000-04:00True. Hey M, I was thinking about it. When Morde...True. Hey M, I was thinking about it. When Morden is coming aboard Babylon 5, Ivanova was narrating how there were lapses in security right? Would that mean Babylon 5 would suspend entry for someone if they deemed him a security threat? I guess that's why I was thinking perhaps he shouldn't be allowed on board. Maybe I was being led to believe they wouldn't allow him on board. Just curious on your thoughts from that sequence.SFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256589316922398158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031498593064294214.post-47060707127123199302008-08-07T08:44:00.000-04:002008-08-07T08:44:00.000-04:00Come to think of it, the Kosh/Sheridan relationshi...Come to think of it, the Kosh/Sheridan relationship is an unusual hero-mentor relationship. True, Kosh saved Sheridan's life once, but ordinarily in mythology or fantasy mentors are helpful for the hero, and don't just stand around looking cryptic and manipulating them (even Dumbledore was a genuine help for Harry Potter). And while heroes usually question their mentor's methods at some point, I don't recall one to challenge the mentor quite like that.<BR/><BR/>M.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031498593064294214.post-58569234549331151732008-08-06T22:25:00.000-04:002008-08-06T22:25:00.000-04:00Hey M! All great points of course.You're right. ...Hey M! All great points of course.<BR/>You're right. Here was my reasoning despire the fact my expectations are flawed. <BR/><BR/>On Morden. I figured perhaps due to the fact Sheridan had saw those Shadows spiders with him waaaay back there might be a NO ADMITTANCE clause. But he's been back on board since then and hasn't been nailed for any law violations. Besides, I'm sure ID fraud is clearly an option when necessary for the scoundrels out there. <BR/><BR/>On Londo. I would assume Londo would be savvy enough to pick up on Morden's manipulations by now. I'm giving him too much credit I think assuming he knows all sorts of information. Still, Londo's thoughts clearly turn to Refa as a prime suspect as that makes sense. Of course, the Centauri are all about coup d'etat on an individual level and Londo is clearly always looking over his shoulder. <BR/><BR/>On the insectoid race. Cool. And aspirin in hand. : )SFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256589316922398158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031498593064294214.post-82094495699769280042008-08-06T12:52:00.000-04:002008-08-06T12:52:00.000-04:00Trouble with Morden is, on what grounds would they...Trouble with Morden is, on what grounds would they refuse him entry? There’s still nothing he’s done to justify that. As for Londo, unlike he hasn’t seen Mordon’s encounter with Vir and the conversation with his „associates“. How would he have guessed Morden even knew of Adira? When Morden first came on board, Adira had been gone for some time, and who had a reason to tell him about her? Plus, Londo has every reason to suspect Refa. <BR/><BR/>And Franklin picked a great time to work out his problems.<BR/><BR/>The gas-mask alien race is called the Gaim, and they owe their name to Neil Gaiman. I think they are an insectoid species, and IIRC in one episode or movie one of them mentions that they are ruled by a queen.<BR/><BR/>As for the next two eps: You did get aspirin handy, didn’t you? :)<BR/><BR/>M.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
