Yeah, well, there's only so much you can do on TV and expect
stations to still broadcast it.

We always knew only Wayne could do Lorien; no question, no one
else auditioned.

He'll get there.

All will become clear in time....

Some stations show the rating, some don't.

Thanks. There is a definite parent/child/parent dynamic going
on there, in that Lorien is, in a way, in that role to the Vorlons and
the Shadows, they're in that role to us, and we're in that role to
those who will follow. It's the endless cycle.

Thanks...and there are definitely more transitions to come....

Nope, the events of WWE *cemented* the events that are to come.
What we saw in that flash-forward will now happen precisely because of
what has been done. That future will take place.

As for the story being over...not by a long sight. Frankly,
some of what's coming in the latter part of this season is more intense
than anything we've done previously. We really focus in on the
characters and the after-shocks of the war, in ways usually ignored.

After all, we all know how nice and calm and civilized Europe
was after the War To End All Wars came to an end...we hardly heard a
peep from that part of the world thereafter....
