I had a technical manual for this show, and there was an easter egg saying that he got a ticket for speeding, and that he went so fast inside b5 he slightly slowed down the rotation of the entire station

[@AuthorDodgeMerrin]

I'd never heard about that before! Thanks for sharing!

[@DavidPruitt]

From a pure technical point of view no matter what speed he went he would affect how fast the rotation. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

[@Lorkanthal]

@@DavidPruitt the station slowing would be the opposite reaction if he were to drive in the correct direction. The tires would be pushing against the station to move the bike forward thus also pushing the station as well in the opposite direction of travel. That said there is no way the bike would have the mass needed to even effect the station so it is a moot point.

[@Turboy65]

Given the law of conservation of momentum, whatever rotational energy he extracted by driving fast would be given back when he hit the brakes. The net rotational difference would be zero.

[@Dowlphin]

They think things through so little for a technical manual? The accelerated mass of that bike is tiny. If that caused the rotation to slow a little, that would be a bad sign for the station's capabilities. But OK, maybe they were really stingy in the efficiency department there. - But still: Imagine the correctional thrusters of a space station vs. a motorcycle engine, even if beefed up.

It is an example of what we have lost in today's sci fi shows. Writing has gone so far downhill.

One of those elements would be character development.

That was one of the things that really got under my skin in that new "Babylon 5: The Road Home" animated movie. At the beginning, Sheridan was inaugurating a new power source on the Minbari homeworld that had cleaner emissions - it was already established that the Minbari power sources were clean and efficient.

[@AuthorDodgeMerrin]

Same here. That felt like it was just checking off the climate change activism box. I bet even Human power sources in the B5 universe are relatively clean and efficient.

[@mysticwolf75]

@@AuthorDodgeMerrin I had a lot of mixed feelings about that movie, in general. I mean I'm glad they got the surviving cast members together to do the voices and everything, but I didn't like the redesign of the Shadow vessels, and the fact they didn't scream as they passed over. Also, they show the Shadows, themselves, boarding the station and the Shadows never directly attacked - they used their dark servants, such as the Drahk, for direct combat. They also totally retconned the final standoff - Garibaldi told Sinclair to get out and that he had rigged the fusion reactor; now Garibaldi and Sinclair were at the last stand, and Sheridan goes to rig the fusion reactor? And they made the computer have a sense of humor about it? Same with the scene on Z'ha'dum - the Shadows didn't come out and overtake the crew of the Icarus, they encountered them underground. I could keep going on, but there were just so many inconsistencies with the TV show, I was very disappointed with a lot of it.

[@AuthorDodgeMerrin]

@@mysticwolf75 Agreed on all counts. A couple of other things that bothered me was that one Starfury pilot destroying a Shadow fighter by grappling it and dragging it along the station. I'm willing to bet the engines of a Shadow vessel could easily overpower those of a Starfury, and that maneuver would also cause damage to the station. Also, when the Starfuries launched, they started their thrusters in the bay and used them to launch. The fact that they used the force from the station's rotation to launch without thrusters was one of the coolest things about the show, but they couldn't even get that right. Definitely didn't do anything to easy my concerns about a reboot.

[@abstract1dea]

I love how these subplot stories were weaved into the timeframes and acutally added additional character depth and relationship revelation. Lanier didn't quite understand how assembling a relic that in now way could be used where it was in the time presented would be a pleasurable thing. But Garibaldi provided the example of the satisfaction that comes from taking desperate parts learning old things and accomplishing a seemingly impossible but useless task just for the sake of doing it. Lanier finally understood how he robbed this at the end but the "adjustment' was worth it. Often, the journey is the destination. There's a lot of subtle meaning in this little tidbit.

[@sandal_thong]

I'm sure there must be Minbari religious rites where the doing is more important than the accomplishment. I think he just misunderstood Garibaldi's wish to make progress on his project as wishing it was finished.

[@JustSumGuy01]

My head canon is after Lennier ran away at the end of the series, he decided to get a motorcycle and ride around it as a symbol of him being a rebel

[@sandal_thong]

They did his character wrong: first the way he "betrayed" Sheridan. Then how he ran away. As a member of the Religious Caste he probably knew all about atonement for wrongs. And it was all because they foreshadowed him not being around in 20 years in a season 4 episode.

Funny how Lenir first listening to description of internal combustion engine, it cites the last internal combustion engine was produced in 2035. Odd how the greenies call for 2035 as the end of oil use.

Minbari powered Ninja zx 11. Sign me up. This was such a great scene in knitting the crew toghether.

there were many character interactions, not relating to the plot of the story, in B5. This one was by far my favorite.
