Yeah, there's a small clue about the third age in the discussion
between Marcus and Franklin about the ranger pin. I mean, it's really
pretty blatant.

Not the work per se in terms of being influenced, but the
attitude that goes into the work, yes. I've stood at Stonehenge at
dawn, the place more or less empty, walked along the circular stones at
Avebury, and stood in the deep cavernous center of a pre-bronze age
burial mound in Ireland...when you do these things, you begin to
understand what *time* is, and how we in this country don't really know
what that is yet. It can affect how you perceive a lot of things, and
in the end, that always feeds back into the writing.

"What might this special video-cam see in your current

A monitor, a keyboard, and an obsessive-compulsive.

"What about the bathrobe and the baseball bat?"
That's not a baseball bat.
But thank you for saying so.

The name of the Ranger pin is spelled Isil'zha. I'll have to
look up the other word.
The Minbari term for Ranger One, btw, is Entil'zha.
Z'ha'dum is where the shadows live. Odd, that reversal....

No, it's not a Minbari name, any more than automobile is a
Spanish word, even though it's used in the Spanish language (albeit the
pronunciation varies just slightly).
