DESCRIPTION:
The Battle of the Line is infamous in Earth history as the climactic campaign in a long and
bloody war between Humankind and the alien Minbari race. But how did this apocalyptic conflict
erupt? And how did this fateful clash of two civilizations ultimately lead to the creation of
the Babylon 5 space station?
MONICA'S REVIEW:
This is a really well thought out movie and is essentially the prequel to the entire series.
It can be read anytime after season four has ended (which is when the movie was originally
shown). However, it also goes well before The
Gathering since the forshadowing that takes place will only happen a little earlier than
it was originally intended.
RELATED PRODUCTS:
There is a brand new DVD now available plus you can
still find the VHS video as well. There is also a
CD Soundtrack available for this movie.
JMS AT GENIE SAID:
10.3.1994
ItB contains surprises and turnarounds for many of the series veteran
fans, and it does a great job of laying the foundation for the first two seasons for the
newbies. It's a most elegant dance...and I'm actually kinda proud of it.
JMS AT B5 SAID:
2.15.2001
My logic on ItB was basically this: you can't keep the basic info on
the series a secret forever. Some things enter the common base of knowledge. So you may as
well play into that by showing what folks will pretty much know about over time anyway, and
make the suspense one of, "When are the *characters* going to find out about this stuff?"
