A Human, a Minbari, and a Bike 

Probably makes a change from races arguing about crew quarters or noise levels .

As long as things aren't blowing up inside or outside the Station.

@@thomas.parnell7365 It has low noise level as Lenier installed there a minbari engine instead of original gas powered.

@@MykhasV the delegates will appreciate I'm sure till they start complaining about the Temperature

Its these little moment that make it so great

Yes, yes! Lennier deserved better & he's #A1Adorkable!

@@MelissaHash I don't believe *for a second* that he would *ever* have done what he did at the end of the series.

@@pleappleappleap Yes right? He absolutely deserves better... and Delenn too (if thats now him and Delenn ending up together, him, Delenn and Sheridan being poly, or just him and Delenn actually talking things out...). And he totally is adorkable.

As someone who is autistic likeable alien characters that don't understand social norms is a soft spot of mine

@@freyamiles3718 as a fellow autistic I totally agree!!

The most BLATANT product placement in HISTORY, and yet they blended it into the lore to PERFECTION! I love it so much! LOL. In fact, I think seeing this episode was the first time I ever wanted a motorcycle.

I'd never heard about that before! Thanks for sharing!

From a pure technical point of view no matter what speed he went he would affect how fast the rotation. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

@@DavidPruitt the station slowing would be the opposite reaction if he were to drive in the correct direction. The tires would be pushing against the station to move the bike forward thus also pushing the station as well in the opposite direction of travel. That said there is no way the bike would have the mass needed to even effect the station so it is a moot point.

Given the law of conservation of momentum, whatever rotational energy he extracted by driving fast would be given back when he hit the brakes. The net rotational difference would be zero.

They think things through so little for a technical manual? The accelerated mass of that bike is tiny. If that caused the rotation to slow a little, that would be a bad sign for the station's capabilities. But OK, maybe they were really stingy in the efficiency department there. - But still: Imagine the correctional thrusters of a space station vs. a motorcycle engine, even if beefed up.

Meh. Too quiet. No feel.

Low mileage, high center of gravity with too high weight. With the current technology i dont think they will win against regular bikes.

@@SeF001 The feel of a real internal combustion engine in a car or a bike is part of the charm. Without it, it's cold and dead.

Given the progress I’ve seen in my lifetime, going from milk floats to Zoes and Leafs, I can only imagine what that can do by 2035

I was thinking the same, a lot of country's are moving towards getting rid of petrol and diesel driven vehicles, this prediction may not be that far off the mark

That would have worked in the "Thirdspace" movie when the station was losing power to the gate. Except Garibaldi wasn't even in that one. :(

@@AuthorDodgeMerrin I think he was on Mars at that time in the show.

@@strenifstrecs2551 He didn't go to Mars until after they launched the campaign to liberate Earth. Thirdspace was shortly after Clark instituted the blockade. He had resigned by then though, so there really just wasn't anything for his character to be doing.

Well, they are working on a B5 reboot, so there might be hope!

@@ZeraSeraphim oh dear god no. save us from PC'ed up reboots. there are plenty of other babylon 5 stories. tell those. show us the dilgar war and deathwalker.

Except Sheridan. He def didn't need a friend like Lennier

@@TheBamaChad-W4CHD You have to feel sympathy for Lennier when he tried to kill Sheridan. Delenn loved Sheridan instead of Lennier, who got put into the friendzone. 🥲

@@exposingproxystalkingorgan4164 yes sir. Also have to respect him for actually not going through with it. He could have gotten away with it easily and maybe comforted Delenn enough she would have eventually fallen for him. He would at the least have make sure he had her to himself for the rest of their lives.

I would claim Lennier as Brother.

Michael was a beast.

I want to believe they restricted the corridor there. It would have been far too dangerous otherwise. ... Also the acceleration curve seemed very unrealistic. The animation team bungled that a bit there.

@@Dowlphin i think the acceleration curve makes sense if you remember they’re not going uphill. gravity is consistently “down” relative to the bike. so there’d be a climbing acceleration, wouldn’t there?

@@tonoornottono Dude, they were making an instant insane acceleration boost! They'd have either flipped backwards or the wheels would have squealed hard.

Never made that connection before, but you’re right!

OMG 2 other people that read that book, I am amazed. OH and yes it was immediately what I though of.

That was an AWESOME book! 👍💪

When one is driven and filled with determination, desiring to be of use, and there is nothing to be done... they can either make miracles happen, or things explode. Lennier did lots of both in his life.

As someone who hasn't seen this show, why specifically in the early part?

The irony is that Minbari are very much reminiscint of traditional Japanese culture; I've got to wonder if that was intentional

@@DinkLink Yeah I know it's weird replying to an old comment, but in case... (spoiler alert too) Lennier gets very jealous of Sheridan's relationship with Delenn and ultimately (Major Spoiler alert).......... Tries to kill Sheridan

@@allthatisgoodhappy2927 Not weird at all. Thanks for the answer!

He is great indeed, but then all the characters in BB5 are amazingly well written and fleshed out, not to mention well acted to. Unlike most the awful drama written today.

Season 1 Garibaldi is my favorite version of Garibaldi!

They did his character wrong: first the way he "betrayed" Sheridan. Then how he ran away. As a member of the Religious Caste he probably knew all about atonement for wrongs. And it was all because they foreshadowed him not being around in 20 years in a season 4 episode.

HA! I see what you did there! :D

lmao. danger will robinson.

@@samuelatwood9924 Said the Class M-3 Model B9 General Utility Non-Theorizing Environmental Control Robot.

I'm sure there must be Minbari religious rites where the doing is more important than the accomplishment. I think he just misunderstood Garibaldi's wish to make progress on his project as wishing it was finished.

I gave up trying to pick a favorite character. Each time I tried, I wound up remembering reasons why I loved the others just as much.

Lmao I just tried. You actually can't.

It is an example of what we have lost in today's sci fi shows. Writing has gone so far downhill. When script writing is taught they should dissect some of these old shows for what made them great and teach those elements to a new generation of writers. One of those elements would be character development.

how does a Minbari power source work with an internal combustion engine make you wonder how that works dose it not?

​@@raven4k998well i say the answer is in the sound of the engin... It sound like a electric engin at worse and best a hybrid engin.

@@srg08 and to make it worse it was made in china🤣🤣🤣

On earth, there are many people like Lennier. They are called 'autists'. I think he'd get along great with them.

Yes, that is why his betrayal to Sheriden was such a shock to me.

@@lenrek oh yeah... that happened... but it was still a good moment because of its impact... then poor lennir dies redeeming himself

​@@michelecastellotti9172 Yes...

Let's be honest, the reboot will suck. They should leave the series alone.

Yep. Mess with his bike and you know where you're going.

Too bad you can't get your hands on a Minbari power supply. The bike looked really fast.

I love the sound of it too...and never needing gas of course 😆😎

@@behindbarsmototouring898 Geez, dude, you don't deserve the bike. 😏

ZZR-1100 in the UK. Great bikes. Not fuel-injected, though. Bank of 4 carbs.

It's moments such as these that gave the show so much depth and made it feel more real.

@@AuthorDodgeMerrin Amen to that! Something criminally missing from most shows nowadays.

@@AuthorDodgeMerrin I would agree with you these are moment's to be treasured. I miss this series so much. However even though there's been talks about Babylon 5 returning. I kind of hope that the series is more saved in a library. Preserved by the fandom. Kept alive by books as well. If brought in this time I don't know if it would be as appreciated.

And she was SO impressed!

Probably his wanton nature of a certain ambassador of his planet!

At least we will see if we are lucky. At least I will.

Absolutely not true. Gas is still best. It will dominste until it runs out.

@@F40PH-2CAT That's just your opinion. Luckily that has no weight in important matters.

Yeah. As amazing as the rest of the series is, this felt so cheap - as if to quickly get him out of the way because he treatens the oh so perfect canon relationship

Season 5 was a travesty. Best to forget it.

It will never take place.

Someone in the EU hierarchy is a B5 fan.

I also ride a bike and consider myself to have passable knowledge about them, but I have to admit that I only follow about half of what he lists off there. :)

@@AuthorDodgeMerrin Garibaldi didnt mention it. The Mimbari guy states later that he was "about to explore the mysteries of the fuel injection system". Either way, it was an awesome show. God, I miss the 90's!!

remember this was also 200 years in the future the info might have gotten a little scrambled over time and translation

There was a fuel injection conversion kit available in the US & Canada, so it is possible. Obviously that wouldn't have been mentioned in Garibaldi's manual.

@@christopherbradley5575 Well he also claimed mint condition. Yet one minute later says he scrounged parts all over the place in a period of time. Of course if the English spoken in the show is future English and not our English, we might not understand it all, as meaning of words shift.

In my last re-watch, I was wondering why we never saw it displayed in his quarters just like there was almost always a bowl of oranges in Sheridan's quarters and/or office. The bike probably belonged to a member of the cast or crew making it difficult to have around for simple background shots.

@@AuthorDodgeMerrin imagine by then garabaldi would have shipped to mars or donated to museum I doubt be many places could use it on mars .

Just find yourself a Minbari to help you.

On tv, from dvd and a few times from the hdd i ripped them to, from those dvd's. Plus the movies.

@@mhordijk0871 I would have bought these iconic and timeless sci-fi shows like B5 and STTNG if it wasn't such an extremely frustrating PITA to try and get them in the NTSC original here in Germany. (If they are available at all, they tend to be extremely expensive.) As a video conversion buff I just cannot tolerate the PAL speedup. Well, at least many STTNG episodes can be watched on tjwparso's channel now, including discussing it, but also the occasional thoughtless spoiler comment.

Same here. That felt like it was just checking off the climate change activism box. I bet even Human power sources in the B5 universe are relatively clean and efficient.

@@AuthorDodgeMerrin I had a lot of mixed feelings about that movie, in general. I mean I'm glad they got the surviving cast members together to do the voices and everything, but I didn't like the redesign of the Shadow vessels, and the fact they didn't scream as they passed over. Also, they show the Shadows, themselves, boarding the station and the Shadows never directly attacked - they used their dark servants, such as the Drahk, for direct combat. They also totally retconned the final standoff - Garibaldi told Sinclair to get out and that he had rigged the fusion reactor; now Garibaldi and Sinclair were at the last stand, and Sheridan goes to rig the fusion reactor? And they made the computer have a sense of humor about it? Same with the scene on Z'ha'dum - the Shadows didn't come out and overtake the crew of the Icarus, they encountered them underground. I could keep going on, but there were just so many inconsistencies with the TV show, I was very disappointed with a lot of it.

@@mysticwolf75 Agreed on all counts. A couple of other things that bothered me was that one Starfury pilot destroying a Shadow fighter by grappling it and dragging it along the station. I'm willing to bet the engines of a Shadow vessel could easily overpower those of a Starfury, and that maneuver would also cause damage to the station. Also, when the Starfuries launched, they started their thrusters in the bay and used them to launch. The fact that they used the force from the station's rotation to launch without thrusters was one of the coolest things about the show, but they couldn't even get that right. Definitely didn't do anything to easy my concerns about a reboot.

@@AuthorDodgeMerrin I'm still hoping the reboot doesn't happen. It's just never going to be as good as the original.

Or it was so far in their past that they don't even remember those technologies.

@@AuthorDodgeMerrin No doubt,

There’s nothing to say another culture followed the same technological development path we did. It’s possible that another culture might discover electricity and never use ICE if they don’t have petroleum products for example. There are many possible roads to technological development.

@@keirfarnum6811 So no plastics, lubricants, aviation fuel, asphalt or any of the other 6,000 products that are a bi-product of oil. So presumably, even though they are technologically centuries ahead of us, resemble humans and live on an earth type planet it has no oil on it. Even though oil is a result of a natural process that takes millions of years. Unless Minbar never had plant life or tiny marine organisms on it either. I assume they have no coal, shale oil or natural gas as well? Might as well say the Minbari never discovered the wheel or any form of wheeled transport.

@@Makeyourselfbig Humans, as a recognizable species, have only been around for 2 million years, or less. The bulk of our oil comes from plants and animals that lived hundreds of millions of years before Humans. What if humans had evolved back then, instead of the dinosaurs. Not enough time for oil and such to be created. We would have had to have made due with other resources. Maybe the Minbari were like that.

They HD it on Amazon...

@@Excalibur01 what? I didn't see it, F*CK

thank you, the title of this episode is "Grey 17 is missing", Season 3, Episode 19

was thinking the same thing....

Not with the world's obsession with fossil fuels.

Canada made it law, no gas/diesel vehicles after 2035. Seriously.

Ya I doubt we won't be making them at all by then but it's actually on the nose as far as alot of the legislation is concerned...

General Motors has claimed to be producing zero emission vehicles only by 2035… so…

@@matts1166 Wikipedia has quite a list of nations that are planning the petroleum phase-out on vehicles. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-out_of_fossil_fuel_vehicles

We got 14 years to figure it out!

Canada has legislated that there is to be no more Gas/Diesel vehicles sold by 2035.

I bet you some smart people have already figured it out by now, but they are shut down or bought out by people who still make money of Gasoline and diesel …

@@kompissanu1983 Like they did in the Simpsons. "Does this stuff really work"?

Under UK law petrol powered cars and bikes must be phased out by 2030.... soooooo yay! (ok not yay)
