      Of course I make the same mistake.

      I just never make the same mistake *twice*.

      I go on to find new ones....

"Will the 14 minutes being restored to "The Gathering" include Marianne

      Yup.

      No, Stephen also directed The Illusion of Truth.

      If you play back the segment, the computer notes that the "atypical 
solar emissions" are getting stronger...so clearly something not natural is 
going on with the sun.

JMS,

I have a bet riding on this.  Some of my office co-workers believe that in the 
next to last scene involving the monks that Jason Carter (aka Marcus) was the 
doubting monk sans beard.  I say no;  they say yes.  What say ye?

If you have time, after watching this ep half a dozen times, what were you 
attempting to convey?

Respectfully,

Bob

      Your friends should understand that the actors credits are always given 
in an episode; so no, that wasn't Jason.

                                                                    jms

1.  Is Sheridan the "One Who Will Be" because he stops the Vorlon/Shadow war 
and ends the reign of the First Ones? Is it because he is the founder of the 
new Interstellar Alliance?  Or is there yet another (currently unrevealed) 
reason?

      That's part of it, and what he grows into.

2. Did Zathras see the founding of the new Alliance, or just the end of the 
Vorlon/Shadow war?

      I think he had a sense of it.

3.  Does "The One" take on a different meaning beyond the 
Sinclair/Valen-Delenn-Sheridan trilogy in the *future*?

      Depends on how you look at it.

                                                                    jms

Fm: SCHMULENSON

I have a couple problems with deconstruction- I watched it twice and still 
can't figuer out how the future was transmitted? was it a sheridan dream and 
not a real future? There didn't seem to be a mechanism(dramatic) like the 
computer on Epilon 3 that was previously used. The time periods seemed 
disjointed perhaps it needed two or three programs to develop? 
There is also the one who is to come in the Grey council's circle of Naroon? 
What has happened to Valen(we still don't know)

Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI

      The future wasn't being transmitted back; we were seeing the records of 
the past from the point of view of the final character, one million years 
hence, who has come to collect them prior to the final chapter in Earth's 
history.

                                                                    jms
