Also mich wuerde folgendes davon interessieren. Vielleicht kannst du ja
mal was dazu schreiben, damit diese Gruppe nicht vollkommen einschlaeft:

Siehe Ur-Arc, oder meint er diesmal damit meinen vermuteten Ur-Arc,
naemlich, dass Sinclair erst in der letzten Folge zuerueck geht?

> How Sinclair's storyline is like a certain famous trilogy

Meint er damit den Herrn der Ringe oder was?

> Why Earthforce can't track Minbari vessels

Und das wuerde mich rein technisch interessieren!

> The famous writer that Morden really looks like

Oha, und wer waere das?

> Details of the Robert Foxworth debacle

Das war doch DS9 oder?

> Why we couldn't see the surface of Narn after the mass drivers

Meint er jetzt wegen dem Staub oder weil die CGI zu teuer waere?

> How the Earth/Minbari War actually began

Hatte er uns das nicht in ItB gezeigt? Oder bestaetigt sich mein Verdacht,
dass er diesen Film erst nachher um die Charaktere gebaut hat, a'la SW!

> How Season 4 was different from the previous three seasons

Also abgesehen davon, dass er Foundation Imaging vergraulte und die ganze
Story schnell zum Ende bringen musste, falls es nicht weiter ginge?

> JMS's 14 word response to the question about the 14 words that will

Diese Antwort moechte ich hoeren ;)!

> Why Lyta isn't mentioned in "Sleeping in Light"

Ist mir garnicht aufgefallen, warum eigentlich?

Das wᅵrde mich auch interessieren. Irgendwo hab ich mal gelesen, daᅵ sie
angeblich bei irgendeinem Attentat o.ᅵ. auf das Psi Corps gestorben sein
soll. Angesichts der ihr zugeschriebenen Fᅵhigkeiten (Lyta "Doomsday
Machine" Alexander) ist das allerdings totaler Unsinn.

Hm, vielleicht hat sie ja alle so beeinfluᅵt, daᅵ sie vergessen wurde?

JMS hat Entsprechendes zu einer Sequenz in Crusade gesagt, in der in einer
Rueckblende eine Telepathin die Psi-Corps Zentrale vernichtet. Er meinte,
dass dies Lyta habe sein sollen, er aber deren Schauspielerin nicht bekam.
Trotzdem haette sich jemand in Sleeping in Light an sie erinnern koennen!

Warum. Wenn Sie in einem Geb�ude war, dass durch eine mit einem
Zeitz�nder versehene Bombe hochgejagt wurde, ist sie tot. Und da helfen
Ihr auch die allerbesten telepathischen F�higkeiten nichts.

[Ultralange Liste gesnippt]
<�chz> das werde ich nur sukzessive abarbeiten k�nnen.
Ich habe absehbar nicht die Zeit, den Band in einem Rutsch zu lesen.

Aber interessante Fragen sind das schon ;-)
