Nasty, big time spoilers for the End of War Without End - Part II







































  I don’t know if this is sacrilege or not, but I’m a pretty religious 
person (don’t hold that against me!) and the other day at one of our 
meetings we read the following scripture:

Acts 1:10, 11
  10 And as they were gazing into the sky while he was on his way, also, 
look! two men in white garments stood alongside them, 11 and they said: 
"Men of Galilee, why do YOU stand looking into the sky? This Jesus who 
was received up from YOU into the sky will come thus in the same manner 
as YOU have beheld him going into the sky."

  This scripture sounds a lot like Valen’s appearance to the Minbari, 
along side him on either side were two men in white garments.  Was this 
just a symbol you borrowed or is this something you’ll touch back on in 
later shows?
BTW - Just so you know, the entire rest of the meeting I was thinking 
about Babylon 5.  If I believed in hell, I’d probably be going there.

Well...okay, yeah, you got me...the staging was somewhat messianic in
nature.  You could also make the comparison of the two theives on either
side of the cross, as well as non-christian-oriented religious systems.

I think the key element to any religion is that you *gotta* know how to
make a good entrance.

  Hey, it's worked for the televangelists.  Get your self a white suit and some 
tears and you've got your self a money maker!
  Somehow, I've got another question about biblical symbols . . .
Bibical Symbols, Question 2:
  The book of Revelation is just full of numeric symbols, like 3 denoting 
emphasis, 6 denoting imperfection/evil, and 7 signifies perfection or 
completeness (there are some others I think).  Now in Babylon 5, we've seen a 
lot of numbers repeated, not all of which I think are symbols, but it does seem 
curious.  Example - The Minbari 3 & 9, Babylon 5 and the time covered is 5 
years, and . . . my brain just fried and I can't think of anything else.  Are 
there any number symbols in Babylon 5? Any related to Revelation? Or am I way 
out there on this one?
BTW - I tried to ask you this at the Chicago Comicon, but my question came out 
asking if you believed in numerology, which is completely the wrong question.  
Ah well, when your in the presence of greatness . . .

No, there's no particular meaning to the numbers used or chosen.
