You know, as soon as I sent that reply, it dawned on me what you meant. I'm so dense sometimes. :p

Not so dense, the interlaced comments get confusing and I should have cited 4thofeleven. Besides, the morning flight of fancy was fun. :)

Think of the political possibilities! A Minbari-centric B5, maybe with most of the Council? Or only some...the Narn and Centauri on different sides. The League stays allied with Earth. Bester breaks away from PsiCorps when the Shadows want to use his teeps in ships, and joins the Minbari with a rogue group. A replay of the Earth-Minbari War with the Shadows backing Earth and the Vorlons backing Minbar. See? Fun!

Perfect! Now all you have to do is shoehorn Sinclair and Sheridan in there somewhere.

Sinclair is co-opted by the Minbari (OK I have no idea how) and Sheridan fights for Earth. *cue ominous drum-roll*

Well Sinclair is easy,just stick to canon...captured,makes the triluminary glow,Minbari sue for peace.

The shadows refuse of course which pisses off Starkiller because he wants to go home to Anna who of course is under shadow control,but I digress.

John-boy always did like secrets and when he figures it all out...can you say rebels?

And we are waaaaay off topic so maybe we should stop.

EDITED: Because I meant to say I'll PM you. Geeze!
