Surface Tension: Aliens launch a sneak attack in preperation to deploy their cloud hazed bio-organic planet killer which is destroyed when a heroic captain crashes a ship into it.

Also does captain Koren seriously need a a good whack. Most of the Fed fleet was wiped out defending Earth and she moans why Starfleet are cowards for not coming screaming to her aid to defend her miserable toilet of a planet. Miserable Klinko. Irritating character.

(Note, yes I missed the mistake in the word Tension in the title.)

    Well given some think the Undine are the ST version of the Vorlon I would say it was done well before Surface Tension.

    I surely hpoe they saw Babylon 5, but I am not sure I remember that "crash-your-ship-into-big-bioship" scene. Is that how it gets destroyed? I only remember the White Star crashnig on Zahadun? I guess I need to rewatch B5 again...


    But I think the whole thing was more inspired by the Death Star trench run, though it being Star Trek, it also reminded me of the Doomsday Device destruction, which of course was already re-used in the Doomsday Device mission. But that one was more epic because Klingon song.

    Ah; it hought Call to Arms had been just an episode name, and I kinda forgot about the B5 movies. I think I also never saw Crusade.

    Maybe I shouldn't rewatch, but just start watchnig stuff I hadn't seen originally?

    Never mind that the Undine planet killers aren't clouds of nanites and nuclear missiles and are actually pretty similar to the Vorlon planet killer, not the Shadow one...

    Yeah this is a reach.

    ^^ LOL.

    If anything, I found myself back on the Citadel (Mass Effect).

    While I'm at it, Surface Tension was probably the best FE mission ever made by Cryptic! It was entertaining, divers, and epic!

    And speaking of Cpt. Koren, her VO work is excellent!

    The OP probably needs to watch B5 again himself. :) The Shadow Death Cloud was nothing like a ship, but more like a lattice-shaped structure, with hundreds of nuclear missile launchers attached.

    Indeed, Undine planet killers look far more like Vorlon planet killers, what with their forward tentacles and all. In fact, Vorlon, bioships....

    to me, the undine planet killer reminds me of the tyranids, not the vorlons.

    It seems biological ships all have common genetic ancestry, even across franchises. :D

    LOL, not really. Vorlon are not bad people, undine are. Vorlons are not racist, undine are.

    "Bad" is a relative term considering their philosophy was literally "you die when we tell you to die".
    The Vorlons were also megalomaniacs with a serious god complex.

    Erm we are talking ships here not the race.

    Someone also seems to have forgotten the Vorlons also destroyed worlds that were touched by the Shadows even if their presence was no longer an issue, went about altering the genetics of the younger races so that they would have telepaths to fight the shadows and a few other things.

    Let's not forget that no ship entering Vorlon space ever returned, What happened to them? Were they destroyed? Why not just force them to leave the territory.

    it was ok, but it didnt really have the narrative follow through from the main story, and the writing reflected this lack of real direction beyond "save earth with a 5year mission of exploration".
    unlike what cbs did with voyager, they realised it was milking the original franchise and stopped.

    Sad thing is that none of that was JMS' idea.
    He just wanted to make a "Knights of the Round Table" kind of thing and give these ships to the Rangers...which makes sense since they're the military arm of the Interstellar Alliance as a whole. The whole plague thing was tacked on because someone higher up wanted to give the show a kind of overarching story.

    Yeah, I think he said that he was planning on curing the plague during Season 2, and then moving on to...other things.

    Probably involving the Apocalypse Box, but who knows?
    You're right. The work here is very important.
