It's a good idea to say whet episode the spoilers are for. In this case 322.

But not much. I particularly liked the way the grey haired gentleman squirmed
out of answering Sheridan's 'Who are you?'. I guess that's the end of Morden
too.
I have to disagree with Sam on the scale of Shadow Ships. They are very large,
but the majority of their size comes from the spines. The fighter seemed to be
merged into the skin rather than buried in the center.

Yes. The Manure certainly hit the stations air circulation system. 8-)

Unfortunately we won't find out till next April I suppose.

I thought it was just being held by a magnetic field like in Ship of tears.

Some of the 4th season titles are up on the lurkers guide. Theres some
indication as to what might be happening.

For those of you who haven't been counting (like me) that's the last episode
of the third series.

Yes, although he did say he was "a middleman"...

I think the pictures of "things" embedded in shadow ships are symbolic rather
than strictly representational: we've seen several shots of shadow ships with
a human(oid) body embeded in them, where the body filled more of the ship than
Garibaldi's starfury seemed to.
> >Good, though, wasn't it?!
Yep, definatly. Any ideas on why Sheridan jumped? I can only think of two
possible reasons: 1) He didn't want to take the risk that the Shadows might
have been able to stop the bombs (or make him stop them) if they could get to
him.
or 2) He thought he might be able to survive the explosion if he fell far
enough. 2a) That would have to be a looooooong fall, given G'Kar's description
of the power of the bombs. Did he have any reason to expect that the shaft
might be that deep? 2b) Even if he fell far enough to avoid the nuke, how
would he survive the fall? Anyone seen anything in the series so far that
would enable a person to survive that kind of fall?
Unfortunatly, we've got to wait until the new year for the answers :-(
(nuking the site from orbit: the only way to be sure)
> 2b) Even if he fell far enough to avoid the nuke, how
Apart from Koshs ability to stop his fall at the end of the second season (and
that was 60mph), no. Still, terminal velocity is only 120mph (if I remember
rightly) so maybe the fragment of Kosh could have stopped his fall. Far
fetched though. I think he might become some sort of spirit entity.

Not quite - Sheridan was falling very slowley, in fact, he wasn't
really falling at all, just coasting towards the ground with his original
momentum. The ground though is rotating at 60mph, which is what would have
hurt...
> Still, terminal velocity is only
Oh no, please not!

I thank you again for providing ample spoiler space before posting this stuff.
Is there any chance unsensitive, thoughtless a$$holes posting spoilers could
be kicked out of this list?I do enjoy the conversations here, but sometimes
these extra spoilers just get me slightly annoyed.

You mean like you just did?

Apologies if I have spoiled anything for you, it was certainly not
intentional. Just as a matter of interest though, why are you reading messages
with spoilers in them (clearly marked in the subject) and not expecting
to read something you shouldn't?
> Is there any chance unsensitive, thoughtless a$$holes posting
As I said it was unintentional. And judging by the way you didn't bother to
put any spoiler space in YOUR reply I presume you're just as guilty of being
an insensitive, thoughtles a$$hole.
