Would you rather be conquered by Roman Empire or Chinese Empire? Because you know one side values slaves and servants more in principle, rather than genocide whole tribes just to prove a point that you can never defy Divine Kingdom.

Too bad that Humans must always oscillate from one extreme to another extreme... I mean, you see it on Twitter every day.

Yeah, true, never got good vibes of Santiago. At best, he seemed to me like one of those generic politicians who speak the lot, but never promise and actually do anything worthwhile, completely focused to survive his term, and that's it. Not saying he deserved to be killed (because I suspect...

EA could definitely do widespread and thorough 'declarkification' cleansing from highest to lowest ranks, but Realpolitik stuff and idealistic democratic sunshines prevented it.

Just visited Babylon 5 Wiki, and noticed that Clark is actually described less as a villain, but more like anti-villain or tragic villain. It's real bummer we never got any deep lore about him, at least we know Morden's though. Then he just went insane and lost his mind completely after...

In EA's arsenal I missed heavily armed gunships able to land troops in the middle of battle, rockets, plasma guns and turbolasers around. "Earthforce troop transport" seems made of paper and that's probably why Human infantry could suffer heavy casualties in landings. In any case, if place is...

Rewatching DS9 now. I say it's a shame there was not comparably dedicated mirrorverse in B5. After that episode when future Delenn told Sheridan only other option was to join Shadows, one would have expected mirror episode from different timeline. Perhaps the one where cat people are Human pets?

btw. since you guys already mentioned Hyachs... Something tells me they will build planet sized macrolaser for Dilgars, if Jha'dur will fix their one very awkward problem...

That's the biggest problem I had with B4. Glowing thieving bastards, due to their dumb rules of engagement, just couldn't order their own station to ship into past, they had to steal it with our own dudes inside too. Couldn't they simply put order 'We want shiny Human-made station...

I am sure Shadows as a side quest had to try once or twice to plant Vorlon pets on Death World or Tomb World and create ruthless darwinian society. If just for a little bit of fun, when dudes wanted to play Age of Empires.

Since time travel and ancient conflicts are such crucial part of the lore, did anyone thought to rewrite Human origin story? Either add non-Earth based Human civilization which is more alien to Earthlings than Centauris, or that Humans already were space faring civilization once, before bombed...

I'd start with Three Days Grace, first 'Home' then newer song, 'I am Machine'. Local dudes should dig them a lot. Unironically it would be extremely funny if Shadows just casually revealed themselves, just like that, and edgy Humans would started to worship them in satanic, pagan, goth and...

After reading this, I imagined edgy goths doing concerts on Zhadum. Awesome cultural exchange.

It bothers me how often Vorlons use cheat commands, but they are still considered less evil.

I am not even sure if I am buying the idea pushed by the show in B4's time quest, that it's so essential to have central strategic command, so Minbari were dead without it. If you need to concentrate your forces for major offensives, I guess, but Valen could simply teach them to think...

In the end, it could be purely Sinclair's decision. Are they absolutely sure he's so necessary, aside from his knowledge of poetry and literature? Or what 'Valen' did could be more or less done by any capable Human commander with higher than average intelligence? Then the timeline would just...

Imperial rule of House Cotto could unironically be very dark. For the greater good of the Republic, Vir can became much, much worse tyrant than Refa ever could hope to be. Because Refa was fully aware that what he's doing would be considered heinous, and just didn't care and sought power...

As much as they tried to made Refa utterly unlikeable in the show (William Forward's contribution is so under-appreciated), at least he had some vision. I mean, what plan had more scrupulous nobles like Jaddo? Disarmament? Democracy? There is nothing showed anyone had any serious plan what to do...

Then why they showed so prominently that it's such an ultimate toy for both Shadows and Vorlons, while younger races are absolutely terrified of such stuff? But okay, if EA already have equivalent of cyclonic torpedoes, it just works too. However, it could be also smart way to force Earth's...

With all being said, wouldn't still make sense for EA to also built planet-killing superweapon as a deterrent? Using MAD strategic logic of the Cold War, would anyone ever tried to declare total war on Humanity, if Earth built weapon to destroy planet with one shot? It could be B4 with massive...
