A Human, a Minbari, and a Bike

Ойын-сауық

You wouldn't expect to find a motorcycle on a space station, and you probably wouldn't expect an alien culture like the Minbari to have any interest in building one, but that's exactly what you find in the Babylon 5 episode "Eyes".
Watch Lennier and Garibaldi bond over this amusing project then go for a ride down the station's main corridor.

    They think things through so little for a technical manual? The accelerated mass of that bike is tiny.

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.

    I love how these subplot stories were weaved into the timeframes and acutally added additional character depth and relationship revelation. Lanier didn't quite understand how assembling a relic that in now way could be used where it was in the time presented would be a pleasurable thing. But Garibaldi provided the example of the satisfaction that comes from taking desperate parts learning old things and accomplishing a seemingly impossible but useless task just for the sake of doing it. Lanier finally understood how he robbed this at the end but the "adjustment' was worth it. Often, the journey is the destination. There's a lot of subtle meaning in this little tidbit.

The bike probably belonged to a member of the cast or crew making it difficult to have around for simple background shots.

    @@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.
