ATTN:JMS (a few questions)
Cassady Sniatowsky
My questions :
Is Sheridan alive during Crusade or does he die between A Call to Arms
and Crusade?
Why is there no mention of the plague in the last episode of season 4?
(when they are talking about all the disasters that happen in the
first
100 years of the ISA)
Could I get a transcript of the last speech made by the evolved human
at
the end of Decontruction of falling stars?
Thank you for your help,
Cassady

I believe that "Crusade" and "A Call to Arms" occur in the twenty
year gap between "Objects at Rest" and "Sleeping in Light" (the last
two eps of Season 5).
so, from what we have seen so far of the B5 universe, Sheridan is
alive and well running the alliance with Delenn and David, their Son,
on the Minbari homeworld during this time.
Crusade starts in 2267 IIRC and lasts five years. Sheridan doesn't
'die' until 2282-ish.

I think that it's related to one of the other events they mention:
'The Drakh War'. Not having seen either ACtA or Crusade, I'm not
sure - but that's the rumour I have heard.

Umm, did you miss "Sleeping In Light"? Sheridan was alive 20 years (or so)
after season four.

Sleeping in Light is 17 years after the events of B5; Crusade takes place about
5 years after the events of B5. Sheridan is alive for the first part of SiL.

Crusade occurs before Sleeping in Light, so yes.

It mentioned the Drakh war, didn't it? Same thing.

Sheridan dies in 2281, at the time Lorien predicted in 2261, as depicted
in "Sleeping in Light."
According to previous posts from JMS, which are archived on the Lurkers'
Guide, Crusade begins in 2265, and was intended to last through 2270.
Hence, Sheridan is still kicking during the period spanned by Crusade.
Just from watching the episodes, one could assume this to be the case
anyway, since the Ranger in "Sleeping in Light" is presumably delivering
Ivanova's note to her office on Earth (although this is not specifically
stated). Earth is under quarantine during the period of Crusade, so of
course this delivery would have been made at some time after the plague
quarantine had been lifted. In fact, hard evidence of this would be Dr.
Franklin's freedom to travel between Earth and Mars to visit Garibaldi
without breaking quarantine.

Presumably because it either wasn't on their minds, or because it may
actually have been dwarfed by other events such as the Telepath War.
Strictly conjecture on my part, though. From a purely pragmatic
standpoint, he may not have mentioned it purely to avoid spoiling
the plotline of Crusade for us at that early date. Again, purely
conjecture.

Wouldn't it be easier to wait for the rerun to come around and tape it,
rather than make JMS quote it to you himself?
Alternatively, if you don't have a tape of it, maybe some other fan in
your area does, and would allow you to watch it. I'd get it for you
myself if I were at home right now.

the 4th season did mention the Drahk War, in which the plague was a
weapon.
As for the transcript, try this on for size:

Perhaps because it didn't fit the agenda of the talking-head group in
the T+100 segment to remind people of that incident -- yes, a plague was
released on Earth, but at least Sheridan & Co. prevented Earth from being
reduced to a dead planet.

I can answer one of your questions - Sheridan is alive at the time of ACTA,
which is circa 2267, when the plague is introduced. At the end of year 5,
we learn that Sheridan dies around 20 years after he goes to Zha'dum, as
Lorien warned will happen. Sorry, I can't answer the question why the
plague was not discussed in Deconstruction.
