Hmm.. Joel?

Can you change the first name of Zeta squadron's leader to 'Camille'?
Make sure it's a male character too.. =)

STOP! You're hurting me! V? Ugh. G ain't Gundam...but a bunch of F-91s
wouldn't be fair...

I can see it now...Sinclair is a newtype.

Wait...Chrysalis is PAST TENSE! It was Monday morning when I posted that,
a WEEK after Chrysalis. So it ain't spoiler bait anymore. If I start
talking about Signs and Portents, yeah, but Chrysalis has come and
gone.


BTW, for all that, you didn't need to include the entire post...

I believe there have been indications that at least *TWO* of Londo's wives
will visit the station during the second season. The mind boggles . . . .

If I had posted unmarked spoilers about Chrysalis up to three weeks after
it aired then you (and a lot of other people) would have been spoiled.
The episodes don't all air at the same time all over the world.

I presume when you say "Signs and Portents" (an episode midway through
season one) that you mean an episode from season two, perhaps "Points Of
Departure"? If this _is_ what you mean and you post unmarked spoilers for
it only a week after you see it, then you will spoil the entire UK at
least, and probably quite a few other people.

There is some point at which spoiler protection must end.

"Hey, I haven't seen The Gathering yet! Don't talk about it!"

And I wasn't planning on talking about PoD.

No, Ivanova is the newtype. How do you think she escaped from all those
Raiders? ;-)
