Now can you explain why the B5 episode about the Drazi War is called Geometry of Shadows when there don't appear to be any Shadows in it? My only theory is that the Green/Purple system was set up by the Shadows as part of their philosophy of strength through conflict.

As I recall, JMS said somewhere that the phrase was supposed to evoke the nature of Technomages - Geometry being the scientific bit of their nature and Shadows being the mystical bit.
Bit confusing though when your major bad guys are called Shadows and they don't actually appear.
Incidentally, I have always found the title of the episode Redemption a bit odd. No-one gets redeemed in the spiritual/ religious sense. The reference to the episode title "They're taking back what's theirs - redemption" evokes an image of Pawn shops.
Is that why Spaceworld has the three balls ? Or why the Liberator has a room full of tacky costume jewellry ?
Anyone ?
