When the Raiders are attacking,
the shot with Sinclair shows a b5 digram. It is upsidedown, for the long bars at the top of the "head" are on the bottom.

So, what's with that restroom?

We see Sinclair and Garibaldi in there, doing their thing, fine. They leave the room, and a woman walks in after them! (She can't be looking for them on some urgent matter, she walked straight past them.) And just in case you're wondering if this is some kind of unisex bathroom, there's a huge Mars/male symbol on the wall, right near where she passes them.
(Or is the 'breasts, curves and long hair' look just in for men in the late 2250s? ;) )

It could be that the male outline just stands for restroom in their world. If seperat gender rest rooms have fallen out of fashon perhaps the symbole for mens room now just means restroom.

Was it me, or was the guy playing Six really wooden?

Any of you that attend sporting events or plays or anything else with some form of intermission should know that, invariably, the line to the women's room is longer. Some of the more desperate women will go use a stall in the men's room. Maybe that's why. She did seem to rush in really fast.

WHY does Mr Morden remind me of our present PM Tony Blair?

Could it be the 'false sincerity' smile? :)

If you look carefully at the stock ticker behind Ladira while she's having all the psychic premonitions about how bad this place is (or something) you can see a few funny abbreviations such as BBQ etc.

The symbol on the bathroom wall is for "Human". Keeps people from passing out in the methane-breathers' bathrooms.

There is a diagram of the space station in sinclair's office but it's upside down to how we always see it. You can tell because the non rotating "bridge" part is underneath it.

If I felt pedantic I would note that in Space there is no up or down....


By Torque, Son of Keplar (Klingon) on Tuesday, September 09, 2008 - 4:07 pm:

True, but there are other diagram/displays in the CnC that have the "bridge" on top. Even if there's no up in space, there is a positive axis based on the 'blueprints' of the spacestation and as such, it wouldn't be standard form to display it upside down if the rest of the displays have it standard.
