Does anyone know what episode it was that showed Centari fighters attacking a Narn Cruiser. And was it any good. Keep seeing a clip of it in the current series credits! Many thanks

We see a couple of Centauri fighters dogfighting with a Narn fighter near a Narn Heavy cruiser. Two Vorchan are approaching, so the Narn decides to jump. Then they get word that an evacuation ship with women and children got left behind. The cruiser runs interference for the transport, but is subsequently destroyed by the Vorchans. G'Kar spends much of the episode showing a recording of the battle to other ambassadors in an attempt to gain support for the war. (No I didn't recently go back and watch EVERY scene with a combat sequence in it on tape recently...) ;)

This is the same episode where Ivanova is asked to seal a deal with a strange alien race in a most, um, unusual manner... To put this back on topic, has anyone correlated the strengths of the ships in the Earthforce Sourcebook with the TV show to see if they are in the same ballpark? Just wondering how "accurate" the rulebook is.

I think JMS has something against Australians. Did you guys ever notice that just about every crook, murderer, bully, and ring leader in down below is Australian? Whats up with that?

I think there were a few cockneys as well, with really *grate* Dick Van Dyke 'cockney' accents. Eww.

You don't see many Scots as villains, however, which I find interesting. > Did you also notice that as soon as they kill off one enigmatic I could have done with them killing off the "sainted Byron" (as a friend of mine calls him) MUCH sooner.

JMS has said several times that he likes an English accent and English actors tend to have more classical training. Now can we stop filling up mail boxes with this? David Best > ---------- You > don't see many Scots as villains, however, which I find interesting.

Sorry if I sounded terse. I should have phrased it differently. It's just that I'm having a bad day and when I was called in to work on an emergency there were all these messages about accents on B5 and I'm getting complaints about the amount of mail I'm getting anyway. David Best > ----------
