Has anyone else wondered why we never saw Kosh or Talia tell Sheridan that 'Understanding is a three-edged sword'? They expand on it at the end of the Shadow War but we never see it. Surely JMS would have done something to fix that.
@Jokie155 It was not even the first time Sheridan mentioned it either. He also mentioned it when trying to convince Kosh to get the Vorlons to attack the Shadows directly. But yeah, when and how he heard it was left strangely unanswered.
Yes. It was planned that Talia Winters would have become reprogrammed anyway, and to make her normal again, the data-crystal of the Vicar would provide her original memory.
It just happens that the actress didn't want to remain in the show, so they sticked with the orginal telepath. :)
Um...the Vorlons are the ones who created the telepaths. I think you are thinking of the Shadows they found themselves to be one of the only races not to have this ability and were jealous of the other First Ones. This contributed to the other wars before the Shadow War in the B5 universe. What Aldecoraziel told me was fairly acurate, but what you said wouldn't even explain why the Vorlons enhanced Leta Alexander.

@Jokie155 It was meant as revelation for Sheridan. Understanding is a three edged sword... your version, their version... and the Truth!

Yes I must agree, Babylon 5 is a much better and more intelligent series than Star Trek could ever be.

Babylon 5 was a very smart Sci-Fi show, way more than Star Trek!

you seek meaning? Then listen to the music and not the song.

@jamessavik What good is music if one expects the strings to obey the notes?

These scenes with Abbot made no sense at first view and were later "explained" in the episode Divided Loyalties.
This is what made Babylon 5 an outstanding show

Vorlons don't like telepaths, so knowing all about Winters, will make her an easy enemy to defeat...

Lol, to a Vorlon everybody is easy to defeat. They were the ones who created most of the telepaths.

"Ah, you seek meaning. Then listen to the music, not the song"
Kosh replies, "I sought understanding. I listened to the song. Your thoughts became the song."
