I finally managed to navigate back to this thread, and I didn't realize there were so many of the B5 crowd lurking about here in the Down Below! (..always liked the concept of "Down Below"!) (Wouldn't want to go "Downtown" though!-obscure B5 reference for aficianados out there!)
Diamond, Lyta is pronounced as you said "Lee-ta" just like Ms. Alexander on B5.

Lachwen, Z'ha'Dum/Khazad-Dum: real good one there! What about the Third Age of Mankind, (leave off the "10 years after the Minbari War" part). Also the Rangers and even the pits of Z'ha'Dum with the lone resident Lorien, oldest and First! I can't even begin to count the Middle Earth references in B5! I've called it "Lord of the Rings" in space! Even has elements of the Silmarillion! The whole concept of "Beyond the Rim," with the mass exodus of Technomages and finally the Shadows and Vorlons, along with Lorien, leave for the Rim. Like the Elves and magical Firstborn Races (Old Ones)!

Lots of good Middle Earth references in B5! Wondered why I liked it so much!

Cheers!
Lyta
