Agreed on the Shadows and the Vorlons. The universe seems to get a lot smaller after they leave, and I have to admit that I sort of resent that.
"Now get the hell out of our galaxy!" BRB, HEADDESKING FOREVER.
Lamest mid-season climax EVAR. Seriously, Sheridan, is that the best you can do? Maybe you should have had Delenn deliver the smackdown for you, because... that pretty much just sucked. I didn't hate it as much my second viewing as I did my first, but... it's still disappointing.
Re: Beyond the Rim:
I... pretty just smack "the West" onto that and fail to think of it any further, honestly. Maybe it's actually like Valinor, where the enlightened and advanced species can live forever in peace but mortals who arrived would die quickly of an overdose of holiness or perfection or whatever, or maybe it's a kind of... limbo-type-thing? Or maybe it's yet another euphemism for death, like the Minbari going to the sea. That last certainly seems to be what Sheridan took it to be, although whether or not he was literally retrieved by Lorien or just hallucinated that he was being retrieved by Lorien does seem to be another issue altogether.
Frankly, I'm still disappointed that he was retrieved by Lorien and not by Kosh. Kosh and Sheridan had so much more interesting a relationship than Sheridan had with Lorien, and Kosh was way more awesome, anyway. Besides, he would have said something about how the avalanche roars silently in the night, or colorless green ideas sleep furiously, or something awesome like that. ♥
