Про возраст персонажей В5:

In "Soul Hunter," Franklin notes that the average human life span is now about a hundred years. It's quite a bit longer for the other races; G'Kar is about 70 or more, but is considered mid-range, equal to a human in early 40s, among Narns. Delenn is in about the same position, equal to 30s-40s in her terms, but in years a bit older. They are a pretty long lived people. Centauri aren't quite as long-lived, but they do a bit better than the Narns. The Vorlons......are.

 

 

Немного про то, почему даже командиры станции должны летать на боевые вылеты:

In your complaints regarding the commander flying off оn occasional missions (and he оnly does it about 3 times out of 22 episodes, so I hardly see this as a problem), you are forgetting several other *realities* of military life. If you're a pilot, even as a commander, you have to log in X-number of hours flying time per month in order to continue to qualify for flight pay. This is a *requirement*. And it doesn't just mean flying around the station a few times.

Second, many commanders — as recently as Vietnam and afterward — did and continue to go out оn missions and sorties because it is rather expected of them, and because it maintains the respect of the rest of the squadron(s).

 

Third, and possibly most important, Earthforce is the same as the contermporary Air Force in оne important respect: promotion up the ranks is tied *directly* to combat experience and, in this case, combat flying. That's why women fighter pilots and helicopter pilots have been fighting so *vigorously* to be allowed to fly combat missions; they know that they can't be promoted fully up the line without that. Sinclair has no desire to be a commander all his life, he'd like to move оn. Hence it behooves him to get in combat time whenever possible.

 

 

Про брошь Лондо:

 

Londo's family heirloom, from the earliest days of the Empire, is a stylized eye-and-teardrop.

 

 

Про Золотой канал (связи):

 

This was a bit cut from the sсriрt for time; Gold Channels are оnLY for official use, they're high-priority channels that can go anywhere back оn Earth. Commercial communications are less reliable and оnly have a few channels available; you've got to wait for a call to go through. To use a Gold Channel for personal communications is a No-No.

 

Почему назвал серию "Парламент мечты"?:

 

A parliament is a gathering of officials, of representatives, which matches the story in terms of representatives of different places, and beliefs. The dreams are the belief systems.

 

Про ксонов:

 

The Xon did evolve into fair amount of intelligence. There are a very few land masses оn Centauri Prime, separated by huge oceans. The two species evolved pretty much separately, оn different continents that were absolutely unreachable until оne or both sides developed sufficient technology for extended sea travel...and that's when all hell broke loose.

 

Про Сигму 957:

 

And in the case of Sigma 957, оne can put in a gate, start to explore that sector of space...and discover to your chagrin that there is оne planet where you don't dare go near. It's not like they *knew* that there was a problem оn Sigma 957 before they (the Narns) put the gate in; that was discovered оnly afterward. Sort of like buying a house and then discovering that оne room is haunted; you seal off the room and tell the kids not to go near it.

 

Про зоны перехода и их работу:

 

You don't leave оne gate and fly light years to another; you use the same gate for going in and going out. Explorer Ship A comes out of hyperspace; looks around; decides that there are planets in this area that are worth possible colonizing, exploitation, that sort of thing; it's a very quick overview. (Or they go to systems that have been already selected.) They construct a gate, finish the job, and move оn. Other ships can now use this gate for entering and leaving this system. Is this clearer?

 

The gate was set up in what was believed to be a reasonably fertile and useful sector of space; the explorer craft can't take too long in any оne area. They find likely areas for exploitation, take a fast look around, drop a gate, and move оn. This allows other ships to come in and scope out the place in detail. That's when they ran into whatever's walking around Sigma 957. (And it's not there all the time, оnly from time to time.)

An Explorer-class vessel looks for areas that look like likely prospects for exploitation, or which are good for logistical or other reasons, do a fast survey, drop a gate and move оn. Nobody *knew* about the problems in Sigma 957 until well after the gate was in place.

Generally, the race that builds the gate, owns it.

 

Про разницу в летосчислении у разных рас:

 

Of course, you're assuming that a Centauri year is the same as our year. The speed of light is constant...but defined by us by our own 12-month year. For instance, in оne episode, we mention that B5 is 12 of our light years from the Narn homeworld, which is equal to about 10 of their years. So without knowing the Centauri year, the figures are faulty.

 

шютка про час пробежки:

 

The Hour of Scampering is usually around tea-time, according to the Vorlon/Human Translation Dictionary.

 

Про нарнские бронелифчики:

The J. Michael Straczynski Message Archive

 

Actually, though his looks seem to imply otherwise, G'Kar is a mammal.

(Costume designer Catherine Adair decided that the newborn Narns live in a

pouch in the father's body, and designed the costume with a slight suggestion

of that, a bit of a sling-look in the lower part.)

 

Про детей и инопланетное скрещивание:

 

There are not, as a rule, many kids оn B5. They are more the

exception than the rule, and even there mainly traveling to or from оne

place to another with their families. This is not a place where you come

to raise families; it's a way-station, not a destination. And given the

fates of B1-B4, nearly everyone who chooses to come work there has left

their families for a period of X-years to earn fairly good sized salaries

working B5 (hazard pay and all that).

 

Hybrids are impossible in the B5 universe without direct genetic

alteration. You can't just have casual mating. Interspecies sex may

present opportunities for exploration, but the chances of a Narn

impregnating a human are about the same as a human impregnating a fish

and producing a motorcycle.
