    I was thinking - OG Kosk went a little native. We rubbed off on him while the rest were disconnected.
    He was the only one, apparently, that cared what happend to us and I think that's why he held on by leaving a piece of himself in Sheridan, helped him at Zahadum and used the last of his life to take out Dwayne.

    • @matthewteague623
      @matthewteague623 2 месяца назад +3

      Remember Season 2, Knives? When Sheridan has some energy life form inside him that came from Sector 14, the Temporal Rift?
      I have always headcanoned that that was a Very young Kosh. And that the understanding Kosh gained there, fed his care for the younger races, and established his affinity for Sheridan in the first place. There is absolutely no evidence for this. But I see nothing to disprove it, either.

      @@MrTickleTrunk the way i view it is that the vorlons are all part of the same being. (We are all Kosh) Kosh and Duh-Wayne are just the different emotional states of that being. Sheridan convinced Kosh to deviate from what the Vorlons likely considered a perfect plan, and when the inevitable caught up with him, it left them extremely bitter. Like a parent grudgingly letting their child try it their way only to be mad when it cost them dearly. (Don't hit the ball so close to the house, you're gonna break a window!

    As far as signs that the Vorlons were shifty and might not actually be the good guys, Sinclair became suspicious of the Vorlons' motives when he was around the Vorlon ambassador to Minbar (which I think WAS Ulkesh before he replaced Kosh on B5). Sinclair wanted to warn Garibaldi but knew it would be dangerous to just come right out and say it. So in the message he sent with the Ranger to B5 back in "The Coming of Shadows", the hint was "Stay close to the Vorlon" (ie keep your friends close but your enemies closer).

    "Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter" -Yoda.
    Several sci-fi masters who lived through the '60s seem to have latched onto this energy-being idea.
    Here we have the Vorlons being energy beings, or at least having evolved there, like Winter's friend Jason did.
    One epic Vorlon-on-Vorlon fight that resulted in a huge light show. Yet a small group of Shadows killed a good bit of Kosh relatively quietly. I don't know what the Shadows evolved into, but they don't need to hide in suits because they seem to phase out of reality. Their ships just translate or phase in and out of hyperspace without opening a gate even. I wonder who is technically the most advanced.. the Vorlons or the Shadows.

    *Many people compare Cartagia and Joffrey, but they are not alike.* Cartagia was significantly more *dangerous.* Joffrey is a cowardly bully with borrowed power (from his grandfather). He is always vicious and therefore predictable. That why Tyrion, Tywin and to some extend the rest of the small council, knows how to handle him. Cartagia is more dangerous because he is insane, his mood swings are unpredictable, and you don't know what sets him off. He understand his own agency as the emperor, which doesn't need to borrow power from any houses and he isn't afraid of getting physical himself. Most of Joffrey's advisors roll their eyes on him, but most of Cartagia's advisors are terrify of him. It is the unpredictability of Cartagia that made him terrifying.

    It's not that the Pilot film is not canonical. It's that later events have...uhm....fixed some problems from that episode, e.g. Delenn was supposed to be a non-binary being that will turn female, but they.....shifted to her being female. But much of the Gathering is still canon, e.g. Lyta's telepathic probe of Kosh, the Minbari assassination plot, etc.
