<h2><a name="BP">Plot Points</a></h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<li>@@@929645109 Galen was taken in by Elric
|
|
(<a href="025.html">"The Geometry of Shadows"</a>)
|
|
after Galen's father died. Elric died shortly after the technomages
|
|
reached their hiding place.
|
|
|
|
<li>@@@929645109 Galen isn't the only technomage who disagrees with
|
|
the group's decision to go into hiding.
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2><a name="UQ">Unanswered Questions</a></h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<li>@@@929645109 What did Alwyn mean when he said darkness was coming?
|
|
|
|
<li>@@@929645109 How many other technomages split off from the group and
|
|
are wandering around the universe?
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2><a name="AN">Analysis</a></h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<li>@@@929645109 Could Alwyn really have destroyed ships in orbit?
|
|
Clearly Gideon's use of the Excalibur's main gun was the backup
|
|
plan advocated by Galen, so it's plausible that Alwyn's preparations
|
|
were little more than a light show in reality.
|
|
|
|
<li>@@@930036047 Gideon referred to Alwyn as a technomage while speaking
|
|
to Captain Daniels; Daniels didn't seem surprised to hear the term.
|
|
How widespread is knowledge of the technomages?
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2><a name="NO">Notes</a></h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<li>@@@929645109 Alwyn was played by Edward Woodward, father of Peter
|
|
Woodward, who plays Galen.
|
|
|
|
<li>@@@929645109 Marshall Teague is a longtime B5 actor; he guest-starred
|
|
as Nelson Drake in the very first hourlong episode filmed,
|
|
<a href="004.html">"Infection,"</a>
|
|
and later played Ta'Lon, the Narn who eventually succeeded G'Kar
|
|
as ambassador to B5.

<h2><a name="JS">jms speaks</a></h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<li>@@@930036445 It's a favorite of mine...nice character and humor
|
|
stuff.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<li>@@@930036188 "By that I mean have the technomages always had
|
|
abilities just slightly ahead of their contemporaries (and used in a
|
|
way to APPEAR miraculous), or have they had the benefit of technology
|
|
from another civilization?"
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This is a question that we were going to build, and answer, in
|
|
the latter part of the first season...a lot of which will also be in
|
|
the 3 technomage novels.
