Thanks. The Kosh stuff, his scene with Sheridan, and his
passing, is very moving. I showed it at Marcon this weekend in Ohio,
and many folks, including Patricia Talman -- who hadn't seen it yet --
were in tears at that. That, to me, is the moment when you know you've
done something, when you can make people *feel* something. Not just a
plot exercise, but you hit down deep where it hurts, or can make
someone laugh. It's all about touching emotion...or what's the point?

They would do so, but since the fall from Earth, as Susan
mentioned, they've had to hire guards who may not be above bribes, as
we saw in the teaser. And Morden is good at covering his footsteps.

Thanks. Yes, I don't think Sinclair would've handled that
scene in the same way; it needed someone who'd go toe to toe with
something very old and dark and dangerous in his way. He had to get
under Kosh's "skin," as it were. Needle and outrage and upset him until
he got through...whatever the cost.

The "crystals" were diamonds, he was bribing various people to
let him in and otherwise do things for him. And yes, Delenn's holding
back some information still, and Kosh was outnumbered.

B5 is still a place of considerable commerce, access to lots and
lots of other races and diplomats...it serves Londo's purposes for now,
and there are probably lots of Centauri back home who would prefer he
stay here. As for the rest...better the devil you know than the devil
you don't. At least on B5 they can keep somewhat of an eye on him.

Because he knew a price had to be paid, and if it wasn't him,
it'd be someone else. Because he knew there was no getting around it.
He's too prideful to run.

Remember Gethsemane....

One can certainly argue that Franklin's actions were hasty,
that he is basically running away from the *consequences* of the
problem he has, as much as from the problem itself. This will, of
course, have to be dealt with.

Actually, no, there are probably fewer. We have a stable of
about half a dozen directors at any given time; some move on, some
stay, it's the nature of the beast. That's about par for the course,
maybe a bit less. I know we had more on Murder, She Wrote.

Actually, no, the replacement isn't Kosh, as you say, it's
another Vorlon, with a very different personality...the "we are all
Kosh" is more of a conceptual thing....

Oh, no, the Shadows and the Vorlons know each other from way,
way back.

No, the shadows and vorlons are definitely not the same race.
And thanks.

The odds of that story are about zip. One doesn't do such
things to Jessica Fletcher.

Because it was they who took it back, at this point; if they
didn't do it, then they wouldn't have done it.
