I figured everybody in Hollywood would be rooting to get you out of television

Do the Jump Gates (the ones Humans use) go all over the Galaxy, or just a local
neighborhood.

      Jump gates go where gates have been constructed by long-range explorer
vessels.  Nobody near our tech has ever built anything outside the known
galaxy, or frankly through about 80% of what IS known.  Going beyond is a
one-way ticket.

                                                                    jms

Just finished WWE1 here in the UK.  What a blast.

Don't want to ask too many questions without seeing part 2, but one has leapt
to mind:

When lady Morella told Londo not to kill the one that is already dead, was she
referring to Sheridan?

Also, I cannot remember exactly what the Vorlon said, but it was something
along the lines of 'He is at the end of his circle'.
IF this is so, do the words of Arkady in "Second Foundation" have significance
to Sinclair?

      Unfortunately, I've forgotten what Arkady said, so it's kind of an open
question.

                                                                    jms

 [ Summary: Wonders if you could take a ship like the Agamemnon out to beyond
   the Rim and build a jump gate, thus bridging the gap between galaxies. ]

      For one thing, it's a long, LONG trip outside the known galaxy...it takes
3 days to go to Earth from B5, it's not instantaneous...so you can well imagine
how much time is involved in getting outside the galaxy.  Second, a ship like
the Aggy isn't configured or capable of constructing a jump gate, that's up to
the big Explorer-class vessels.  Finally, the further you range afield from the
established series of hyperspace beacons, the greater the odds of getting
permanently lost out there, since points of reference outside aren't on a
one-to-one basis with hyperspace.  (And outside the galaxy you'd have little in
the way of more conventional references as well.)  So any trip would be a one
way trip, at least at this point in our technology.

She said 'A circle has no end'?

I was wondering if there was a small salute to S.F. in there....

       No...the notion that a circle has no end is a lot older than that.

       And the line re: Sinclair was "he is the closed circle, he returns to
the beginning."

                                                                       jms


 [ Summary: Thinks that the ship Zathras arrived on looks like a ship that
   can be used in "Privateer," and since JMS is a Wing Commander fan, he
   wonders if it was intentional. ]

       Nope.  Only coincidence.
