We'll approach McGoohan when we have a script good enough for his
skills.

RE: Bester...thanks. I'd decided a while ago that the next time
we saw him, he either had to win, or he had to be right. If he lost
again, it'd cut his credibility out. This gave me a chance to do some
interesting things with him. He's a fascinating guy...a creep, and I
wouldn't trust him for a second, but fascinating nonetheless....

Thanks. Much appreciated. I'll get one right for him yet.

"Dust to Dust" is what I call one of my "pretty box" episodes.
I set down the pretty box in front of you, and you think you know what
it is. Then something else entirely jumps out of it at your face.
There's more coming here and there. I like pretty boxes....

The female Psi Cop here *was* the same as in ARTDP, played by
Judy Levitt, who is also Walter's wife.

Yeah, everyone turned in great performances in this one, very
intense and layered. And as a result of G'Kar's attack, the next
several episodes will find him still in prison. In the B5 universe,
you don't just go in for a long time at the end of an ep and next thing
you're out again. He has to serve his time, and now we'll see him in a
cell for a while.

And yes, you'll learn more about what happened to the Narn
telepaths in coming months.

Exactly. I mean, in three years, what the heck have the Vorlons
actually *done* to help "our side?" Let the others do it.

The figure he was talking through during the scene appeared to
him as his father; the very last figure, seen departing, was that of
G'Lan.

John MacVeigh <72467.2141@compuserve.com> asks:

Actually, I tend to agree with that assessment. They've guided
and instructed and pointed, yes...and manipulated...but they still
haven't had to step up to the plate in other areas.

And I don't think the Narns have sacrificed nearly enough yet.
You can always sacrifice more.

Could be.

Generally speaking, in television, if you're not going to see
someone, you should at least try to avoid saying his name, because
folks new to the show won't know what you're talking about. Those who
know, know. For those who don't, it shouldn't get in the way.

The correct answer is C.

Yes, it helps if the person's mind is in a different state --
asleep, exhausted, in a heightened state of awareness -- for the
Vorlons to make contact, which is why their presence is often
associated with dream imagery.

"Have the shadows always lost?"

That is a far more complex question than you could possibly
know....

Correct. They see reality, and time, and space somewhat
differently than we do.

No, you can't have any clues. What am I, a clues closet?

Soul Hunter probably wouldn't be a bad idea at some point prior
to the middle of the season...or the two-parter....

No, I wouldn't say that the shadows and vorlons see space, time
and reality in the same ways.

We're still working on the tapes. We'll have info when it's

And yeah, I love the Drazi. They're just nuts.

There's a training facility on Mars, and a somewhat classified
base. Bester was born on Earth.
