Joe, back in series 1, "and the sky full of stars", Sinclair was
regaining his memory about the Minbari interrogation, although he
didn't reveal it to Delenn (fortunately, as another member of the
grey council said to kill him if he ever found out!).
Lennier revealed to Sheridan et. al. at the start of series 2 the
issue of discovering Minbari souls in (some?) humans as the reason
for surrendering at the climax of the war.
My question is:- does Sinclair know this too? Do the Minbari know
how much he knows, and if so do they mind now? If this all gets
sorted out in the much anticipated series 3, you can just say
"it's in series 3" if you like!
A second question:- When Delenn was first approached by Morden, a
silver triangle appeared on her forehead - a similar one is seen
on the forehead of the grey council member in "and the sky full of
stars", and in Delenns revealed "grey council" face in that
episode. It is clearly not merely a decoration, as it appeared
"magically" when Morden was present (and Delenn saw a "shadowed"
view of him, much as Talia saw at a later date). What is this?
Thanks for a great show!
Regards, Neville

Sinclair knows now. And the triluminary mark is an implant,
which reacts that way in the presence of shadows or their direct
"employees."

Joe,
I just had something funny occur to me. I seem to recall in the
episode from last season titled, "And Now A Word..." that G'Kar's
name was misspelled with in "H" in place of the "K" when he was
being interviewed(G'Har). At the time I thought that it must have
been a mistake on the part of the producers and editors of that
particular ep, but now I'm not so sure. In light of all the Narns
have suffered, and how G'Kar has been affected by all that's
happened to both him and his people, was the misspelling a
deliberate and calculated move on your part to show how he and the
Narns were being paid less attention due to the simple fact that
they were Narns??
Based on everything that's happened, I wouldn't have a
hard time at all swallowing this if told that it was in fact the
reason.

No, I'm pretty sure it was spelled right; it may just be the
typeface used that makes a K look a bit like an H.

Hullo, Joe,
< Yes, there's another novel due out fairly soon, within the next
month or so.>
I take it that this is "Clark's Law," right?
Is there anything that you can pass on to us about other,
upcoming novels in the B5 line? I was hoping to see some names
for other B5 novels in the Dell SF Book listings that I've seen
recently, but other than "Clark's Law," there's no mention of
author names or even possible titles for upcoming B5 novels.

There are two more novels coming out after "Clark's Law," one by
Neal Barrett Jr. and the other by S. M. Stirling.

Hullo, Joe,
< No, we haven't established what happened to her, but we will
in time.>
Really? :) This is good news... I have always thought
that Lianna Kemmer was an important person in the life of Michael
Garibaldi, and "Survivors" left a few threads hanging. It'll be
good to see or at least find out what happened to Lianna in the
aftermath of Santiago's death. If nothing else, I don't think she
was on board Earthforce One when it blew, since she'd be doing the
work on Io station proper, right?

That's correct; as with her arrival at B5, she would've been
handling the advance work on Io prior to Santiago's arrival.
