I finally saw some of the scenes from this. All I can say is, yikes!

Martin Sheen oughta make a good Soul Hunter.

Bonus: It's about time they gave a little more to Lt. Corwin (Josh Cox).

Have you been to the TNT B5 website? They have postcards from River of Souls.... there is one of Lochely that is very interesting... this'll be neat. I can't wait to see the film.

Lochley returns to her quarters with a barbecue "beef" sandwich and a drink from an restaurant in Down Below. The sandwich is in a paper bag, and the drink is in a paper cup with a plastic lid, with a twisty straw through the middle. It's refreshing to know that with all the technological advances yet to come in the the next 300 years, fast-food packaging will remain unchanged.

Did you see the great big 47 in the reception area of the holobrothel?

Just as a note, River of Souls takes place in 2263, not 2262.

doctor bryson just stole an artifact which got his digging crew killed but when he arrives on b5 the bag is left open on a crate. where's the b5 customs agent who checks all packages brought on the the station?

when capt. lockley first arrived on the station she alway locked horns with mr. garibaldi and when she let him know that she also were a former alcoholic. i know that they were going to be a couple. when two chracters on any show dislike each other that much, it's love. i was surprise they had mr. garibaldi marry lise. was i the only one surprised by this?

the grenade that capt. lockley threw in the holobrothel really wasn't that powerful. but i have never seem a actual grenade explosion so maybe that was a accurate portrail on screen.

to really enjoy oneself at the holobrothel you have to wear the tactile suit. but i wouldn't want to use a suit after someone else was finish with it. that's disgusting!

Actually No Ron I am not surpirsed at all because that does not seem like JMS at all Also it is also way way way too clique.


By Lee Jamilkowski on Wednesday, November 18, 1998 - 5:16 pm:

Has anyone considered the fact that when two people fight it is becuase they do not like each other and not just that they have a latent attraction?


By Mei Haenze on Friday, December 04, 1998 - 10:42 am:

I'm not surprized that Garibaldi didn't get together with Lochley. One reason JMS got into writing Bab5 is because too much SciFi is written like a soap opera. And that concept - that fighting means love - is very much a soap opera-type concept. JMS wanted to go beyond stereotypes, and give us good stories, stories that we can relate to, not stories with the "plot/concept/idea of the month". I think he's done a great job! I really enjoy Bab5!


By Alicia Cobb on Monday, February 22, 1999 - 1:47 pm:

YES! The whole Geribaldi/Lise thing has been foreshadowed since way in the beginning of the show. I would have been very disappointed if after all that true love didn't win out.


By Andrew Kibelbek on Friday, February 26, 1999 - 6:42 am:

Ron, I have not seen an actual grenade explosion either, but, the way I understand it, the charge really isn't all that powerful. The grenade has weakened seams in the metal casing so that many pieces, called shrapnel, will fly outward from the explosion. That's how modern hand grenades really do their damage.


By Adam Howarter on Friday, January 22, 1999 - 9:07 pm:

I haven't seen the movie but if the explosion of the grenade is like other movie grenades yes the explosion has been pumped up. Much like guns shots are.
I have however read the synopsis at the lurker's guide. While this isn't a nit I got to say kudos to JMS. This is the second time someone has called Garibaldi a jinx. The last time was waaaaay back in the pilot when Londo said Garibaldi's bad luck ruined his winning steak.

When Lockley and the Soul Hunter are talking in her office about the fate of the souls, Lockley is drinking from a very 20th century fast-food cup (with snap-on plastic lid), with a kid's "fun straw". My kids had the exact same straw.
