      Garibaldi programmed it from the intructions given him by Sheridan; it
would've been set to explode at a certain point.  He gave it final detonation
instructions when he signaled it via his link.

                                                                    jms


 [ Summary: Asks why the U.K. can't start showing the next year of the show
   at the same time the U.S. starts showing it. ]

 #: 581347 S7/Babylon 5 in the UK

Sb: #581114-BABYLON 5 SEASON FINALE
Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI

      The reason for the difference in air dates in the UK and US is this:

      Here we have reruns.

      We get the broadcast schedule from WB, which makes all final decisions on
this matter.  Then the show starts airing.  We still have post production to
do, and the breaks for reruns give us time to finish the episodes.

      C4 doesn't do reruns.  They run straight through.  So if they began the
season there the same time as the US, they'd run out of finished episodes to
air right around (thinking...) episode 10 or so.  Then they'd have to wait.

      What C4 needs to do is figure out when the earliest is that the final
cuts can be delivered, then backtrack that to when they can start.

                                                                    jms


 [ Summary: Asks why Draal didn't come to the defense of Babylon 5
   when the Shadows swarmed all over them. ]

      One thing to also note is that when the shadows appeared, they swarmed
all OVER B5 as fast as they could, circling it without slowing down much.  So
if Draal *did* launch an offensive, it'd take out B5 in doing so.

                                                                    jms
