You'll like Animal Farm....which reminds me that I loved the "character": BOXER, in Orwell's book.

There was a series of books about a guy, cursed by God, named Casca. He was a soldier who usually got killed but woke up again, in another time period. Written by Barry Sadler. I enjoyed those, though I doubt I read all of them.

Who was the very enigmatic character, who hardly ever spoke but when he did, you didn't really know what he was saying. Seems to me at the last show, I remember seeing a representation of the history of the universe or something like that. It's been a long time

I believe you are referring to a Vorlon called "Kosh".....sounds like "Lorien" though...he took Sheridan to the galactic rim to join the rest of the "first ones".

Ah, thanks. BTW, I personally kind of liked the telepathic lady who had the intelligent ship. She was able to hide her very high telepathic abilities from authorities (psych police?) who were always on the lookout for such people. Apparently it was against the law.

I loved the show and many of the characters...you are referring to "Lyta"....she was also one of my favorites...she had to watch the "Psych-corps"....looking for rogue telepaths...but Kosh helped increase her abilities and she was rated a P 5 ... highest power and she could out do any cop and shield her own thoughts. Next to a Vorlon or other "First Ones"...she was quite formidable.....
