Discuss Babylon 5

I'm going through the series again, not examining real closely, but not just skimming either.

And I started thinking about something again.

Delenn and others, more than once, said something about "Minbari souls were being reborn, in whole or in part, in human bodies."

But that's not what really happened.

When Sinclair went back in time to become Valen, HUMAN souls - or DNA, at least - began to be "reborn, in whole or in part," in MINBARI bodies.

There's no evidence or reason to believe, that any Minbari did the same on Earth. It only went one way.

Once they knew - if they didn't know from the start - that it was Sinclair who did it, why didn't their story change? Did they figure that the Minbari on the whole would resent that? Resent that "Valen" brought human DNA to "pollute" Minbari?

Or maybe JMS just didn't fully grasp the implications.
