Lot of Great Sci-Fi in B5 ... I tolerate the missteps ....
Message:I appreciate the encyclopedic knowledge. Good stuff.
Does not 12 fonts suggest a limited number of things to protect? I saw the Mimbari as a vast empire? Perhaps the show went into it detail.
Why would a star spanning empire not be 10,000 worlds? Would not the emperor keep his minor princes in control by occupying them in local conflicts?
Forgive my lack of knowledge on the subject ... many of the shows were hard to watch. My brain would wander off. Maybe I was watching Dr. Who.
Wouldn't you need a race of Vogans to oversee the empire? Someone would have to process the hyperspace bypass notices. Where's my towel?
I wandered into a Fandom site and lost interest when the first article about the Mimbari Federation went into what type of garnish they enjoyed on their holiday celebrations. They need to follow the prime rule on such things. What sort of death ray do they possess? Leave the garnish and seasonal yams to the deep links.
It had the feel of someone's Traveller campaign translated to the screen. (I believe someone shared that once.)
I would watch it again.
Yours,
