Great, great, great film! But why oh why oh why was Ivanova not affected by the ThirdSpace dream? Everyone else who dreamed of the city fell under the influence of the aliens and got into the fight, but Susan was still in full command of her faculties. And if she was the only person who died in the dream, *why* did she die?!

Callie: Not everyone was vulnerable to the dream. Remember Lyta's talk to Sheridan about the artifact? They could only control SOME of the Vorlons. As to why Ivanova died in the dream, who knows?

Well, if anyone can resist the pull of beings countless millenia old and powerful enough to hurt the Vorlons, its Ivonova. After all, she's just that good...

All right, where were Marcus and Lennier during this film? I can imagine Marcus off somewhere, since he's a Ranger and all, but hasn't Lennier sworn never to leave Delenn? I kept expecting to see him every time a male Minbari walked by the camera.

Pretty cool film.

Mab Ivonova's reactions to the dream had somthing to do with her being a latent telepath?

Why wasn't Sheridan killed when the artifact exploded? It took out all those nearly invincible fighters.

Ivanona refers to carbon dating of the artifact. Carbon dating is used to determine the age of organic material. Was the artifact organic? They don't say so (although the artifact is Vorlon, so it certainly could be organic).

The big problem here is that carbon dating relies on the fact that living organisms absorb radioactive carbon 14 from the atmosphere while they are alive, and stop ingesting it when they die. We know how much carbon 14 is present in our atmosphere and what its decay rate is, so by measuring how much is C14 is left we can measure the age of a sample.

But how do B5 scientists know how much C14 is present in the atmosphere of an unknown alien world???

Refering to the maintainance bot failure, a technician says that every milliwatt of power was drained. The correct statement would be that every milliJoule of energy was drained.

What was Deuce doing there? In 'Grail' Garibaldi was intent on finding a way to get him thrown in jail (or possibly out an airlock) and at the end they found all the evidence they needed (not to mention that little firefight). So why's he still around almost three years later? Did Garibaldi just forget about it all?
