Does anyone know what the fate of Lyta Alexander was?
She left Babylon 5 with G'Kar to explore the galaxy but I can't figure out
what happened to her.

The Centauri Prime trilogy of novels explains how G'Kar ended up on Centauri
Prime in time for he and Londo to fulfill their destinies by strangling each
other but this doesn't explain what happened to Lyta.

The Psi Corp trilogy's last novel hinted that she may have been killed in a
Psi Corp war that is also hinted at in the series "Crusade" but we have no
details.

Anyone want to take a crack at this one?

She died in the Telepath War, and so did Lennier.

It's not her final fate, but one of her adventures was published in Amazing
Stories, in a story written by JMS. Can't remember the title but it
involved she and G'Kar exploring a planet together. Great story.

JMS said she was killed in the war. He should know.

Can someone expand on this? I never read the books, but as far as I knew
Londo and G'Kar had settled their differences the day before Londo became
Emperor in "The Fall of Centauri Prime."

None (yet). It was mentioned in the Crusade bible, and would have been
shown (in flashback) in the Crusade episode Path of Sorrows, but Pat
Tallman wasn't available.

They did. Londo's vision is shown in full in the epsiode showing tonite on
Sci-Fi. Turns out it wasn't a batttle between them but G'Kar helping Londo get
free of his Keeper the only way they knew how, with Londo's death. The
fighting was the Keeper trying to keep its host alive. G'Kar dies from
injuries sustained in that action.

massive SPOILERS for WWE and CP trilogy

They did. In the end, since Londo had a keeper and it was the only way for
Sheridan and Delenn to escape CP and the Drakh to be defeated, G'kar killed
Londo *because* they were friends, though Londo did try to anger him into it.

Yes, the fighting was an act of mercy on G'Kar's part (freeing Londo from
his life with the keeper, and helping Delenn and Sheridan escape), and
Londo's part (giving up his life so that Delenn and Sheridan could escape).
See "In the Beginning.".

She wasn't available at first, but then the TNT ordered production shut
down came, and the filming of the episode was postponed. When production
stared again, she was available, but turned down the role.

What's the story with the keeper inside the gift for Sheridan's child?
Is that covered somewhere?

You need to read the books, then. Specifically, Peter David's "Legions
of Fire" series, if you want lots of detail around this. For a brief
overview, go here:

When Londo shows Sheridan the devestation of Centauri Prime, is all that
totally due to the Drakh, or is it simply due to the ISA making a final
assault on the last Drakh stronghold?

Assuming your comments are from just having watches WWE:
Well, I haven't read the Centauri Prime Trilogy yet, but from Londo's
appearance I'd guess it's from the "In the Beginning/Londo Narrative"
timeframe and it's either from the ISA making a final assault on the last
Drakh stronghold, *or* maybe some of the Centauri tried (unsuccessfully) to
get rid of the Drakh fusion bombs, and the Drakh set them off.

I wonder if this is one of the things revealed by the Centauri Prime
trilogy.

This is in fact covered in the trilogy.
SPOILERS for S5 and CP trilogy


In S5, of course, the Alliance and CP have a bit of a war, and so some damage
could be from that. However, at the time we see Londo, the Drakh have just done
some nasty stuff, and most of the damamge is from that. The ISA has yet to help
out the Centauri - remember Londo is freeing Sheridan and Delenn in hopes they
will.

If you watch the B5 "War without End" you'll see them kill each other.

It seems the B-5 series itself hinted at a Psi war brewing, but it never came to
much.

JMS has *said* that she died in the telepath crisis. Said crisis took place
sometime between 2262 and 2267. It appears that this story is being saved
for something, probably a feature film.

On a similar note - what's Patricia Tallman been doing with herself
lately?

I think I might have spotted her in an ESPN commercial playing a pro
bowler who gets tackled by another pro bowler, but I don't have
confirmation.

She (and Claudia Christian) starred in "Never Die Twice", a movie
which (according to http://www.neverdietwice.com ) is in audio
post-production right now.

Pat and her husband created a web site called "The Galactic Gateway"
(http://www.thegalacticgateway.com/). That's probably the best place
to look for news on her career.
