  • At a very basic level, the concept could work - jump into the future to show how the crew’s adventures are remembered. Babylon 5 succeeded at the same kind of idea for their excellent Season 4 finale.

    But B5 showed that the characters left a profound and enduring legacy. In These Are The Voyages, Riker consumes the story of Trip’s death like it’s a mildly engaging episode of a daytime soap - between the scenes of a better episode that works much better without the addition. It’s just the worst execution you could imagine.












  • And the front between the “mandibles” is not a loading door. Factory spec has a lifeboat between the mandibles that we saw destroyed in the Solo movie.

    Seems reasonable for both to be true. If a life boat is attached, the door leads into it. If not, a ramp can extend and it functions as a loading door.

    At any rate, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this diagram floating around since before the Solo film came out, so it probably is a matter of canon marching on that it was created without the lifeboat in mind.
