Babylon 5: The Lost Tales: Voices in the Dark	comment	The station prepares to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the founding of the Interstellar Alliance, but Babylon 5 being what it is, things are certain not to go smoothly. Colonel Lochley finds herself seeking the assistance of a priest in order to deal with a demonic possession, and President Sheridan receives an unexpected guest forecasting the destruction of the Earth Alliance in the future if Sheridan doesn't take the life of an innocent Centauri prince.This was an Anthology Film, meant to be the first part of a series of short films, each following a specific character and each release having a common theme for the stories to follow. Though Voices in the Dark was commercially successful, production of the second part (with Garibaldi and possibly Londo) fell through due to the 2007 Writers Guild of America Strike and ended up being shelved by J. Michael Straczynski due to concerns that the studio would not budget enough money for him to do the Babylon 5 universe justice.Starring Bruce Boxleitner as President John Sheridan, Tracy Scoggins as Colonel Elizabeth Lochley, and Peter Woodward as Galen.The film, as presented, is divided into two parts, Over Here, taking place on Babylon 5, and Over There, taking place aboard Sheridan's flagship, the Valen.

It is a very good design. NASA wanted to borrow it for a forklift/heavy loader Recycled IN SPACE!. With regular upgrades to engines, weapons and computer systems, there is no reason it couldn't keep on flying.

Rumor has it that Vir Cotto was responsible for his death, but the prince seems to waver between believing it or not. That father was none other than crazed Emperor Cartagia, who was the mad emperor before Mollari took the throne whom Vir and Londo had killed.

Babylon 5: The Lost Tales: Voices in the Dark / int_2b5c636d	type	How Unscientific!
Babylon 5: The Lost Tales: Voices in the Dark / int_2b5c636d	comment	How Unscientific!: Some fans were pretty upset that this fairly hard sci-fi universe suddenly had a literal demon from Hell in it, even though it had previously featured souls and afterlives. Some official source has explained them as energy beings who met up with the First Ones but soon turned out malevolent and were locked away. Essentially, it does in the wizard. Probably for the best. According to background material, their fear of exorcism was a ruse, as part of an elaborate plan to use humanity to escape to the heavens. The exorcism rituals were put in place by the beings themselves, in hopes that one day they would be exorcised in deep space and set free.

Compared to the very ostentatious Centauri designs, this is as good a description as any of the humans' grey, angular, heavily armed starships.

Babylon 5: The Lost Tales: Voices in the Dark / int_55ab1be5	comment	Royal Brat: Deconstructed. Vintari is cold and aloof when first introduced, but it is quickly revealed that this is at least partially due to his constantly living in fear of assassination attempts, both due to his being third in line for the throne, and due to his father having made many enemies before dying under suspicious circumstances of a heart attack while still young. He also reveals to Sheridan that he is very fond of starships, having studied Earth ships in particular. His face lights up like a kid in a candy store when Sheridan invites him along for a flight in a pair of Starfuries. Considering who his father was, however, he turned out pretty well.

Instead, he decides to take the Prince into his own household on Minbar and give him the loving upbringing he was denied on Centauri Prime. Galen freely admits that Sheridan's solution is very workable, even preferable from a moral standpoint. His solution would have been easier though. It's implied that this is exactly the outcome Galen was hoping for.

Of course, to do so would mean to abandon an innocent man that the priest could have helped, dooming his soul.
