Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
From the ring altering his perception, which I assume is done in a telepathy-adjacent way.
That's pretty much what Ophidian's eyes are, from what I understand.
The length of time someone spent in space is a very arguable parameter to measure one's status as an old race.
Real life doesn't have non-corporeal consciousness, as far as we know, so Matthew shouldn't have it either, if I understand the basic rules.
The universal translation is still telepathy-adjacent.
And yet Matthew used Ophidian's eyes, though without calling them that. We know how the ability...
He actually has multiple layers of telepathic defenses:
1) He can't think of his name. Anyone reading his mind and trying to find his name will be knocked out - if this defense works on DC angels and martians, it sure as hell will work on B5 humans
2) He has no soul - B5 telepathy seems to be...
Besides beards, there should be at least two other genetic sequences identical in humans and minbari: the one responsible for perceiving Vorlons as angels, and the one responsible for telepathy. Those might be one sequence, of course. But they should be identical, as they are artificial and...
He said the line! Ah, if only to see mr. Morden's reaction when he tries it on the ambassadors, only to be met with either "Matthew did it better, go away" or "Ah, you are Matthew's new personal assistant, why didn't you say so?"
I sorta expected Paul to roll this under "caring for his student" / "ensuring best performance of his student via solving family drama and providing a healthy mental state" motivations.
Her degenerative conditions isn't that far progressed yet. He can do the same he did with the unwilling venom victim he encountered early in his career and restore the missing brain parts to the best condition possible. He could also Danner enhance her - Danner formula comes with (slow)...
Why not just heal her? Paul is perfectly capable of both healing her brain, and, if he wants, reverting her to 20 year old of age and giving her extended lifespan, superstrength, toughness and regeneration. He has done all of those things to other people, sometimes accidentally. Just make it...
More than interesting. "Ring, scan and manufacture a ton of the immortality serum" is absolutely something he would do. "Oh, what's that, the serum requires something to be extracted from living sophonts? I have a magic ring.". The only question is whether he'll force dose everyone on the...
From my understanding of minbari culture, the end result of him fulfilling this request is gaining enough visibility that minbari insist on sending a detachment of rangers with him, and use their political weight with other races to make it easier, but more awkward, to continue his mission...
As shown previously, he involuntarily assumes the form of the soul he lets control his body. SO it wouldn't be a glowing orange human. It would be the famous architect come back from the dead / escaped from soul hunters (depending on how known her capture was) with the powers of First Ones to...
Your citation is invalid, because we are specifically discussing TV show and movie canon, not expanded universe.
This might be an issue of definitions, because the distances depicted were nowhere close to what I would call as "stellar" (the smallest such distance for me would be the distance...
So, anyway, there are two main parts of this chapter: Maltusians being misinterpreted for Lorien's species by Vorlons, and Paul doing Ophidian's eyes at a vorlon. The first one (hah!) gives him a very good political cover, but leads to some awkward conversations and assumptions later; the second...
Citation about the Great Machine please. Because as far as I know, it wasn't. The vorlon fleet was, indeed, in hyperspace. I wasn't aware of the "The Road Home" existing, I'll check it out, thanks. You are misremembering "Falling Towards Apotheosis" - it was Ulkesh's ship, not ulkesh himself who...
I'd very much like citations for most or of those, please. I remember planetary destruction, and genetic manipulation of species, which isn't really that impressive at all, but nothing else. Time manipulation was done via the Epsilon Eriadni machine, and it's not shown to be of Vorlon make.
