I believe that you are referring to the humans on Babylon 5. I am not sure if you have seen the whole Babylon 5, but to avoid spoilers as much as possible, the Shadows had some influence on some important humans back on Earth, and I strongly believe the question "What do you want?

Because in the episode where Morden goes around asking the ambassadors what they want he is intercepted by Kosh before Morden gets to Sinclair and Kosh tells Morden, "They are not for you. Improve this answer. Smartybartfast Smartybartfast 5 5 silver badges 8 8 bronze badges. I'd always thought the implication was that the shadows had already asked the humans, in the person of Morden himselfand the rest of the crew of the ship he "died" on.
Do you have a source for the JMS confirmation? I also assumed that it was easy for the Shadows to infiltrate humans because the Icarus was a human ship. Because of the way television works we only ever see them asking people important to the story. However, I believe the implication is that the Shadows only asked people in positions of influence, people the Shadows could initially do favours for then manipulate to further their own ends.
Nobodies like Morden became slaves of some sort. The idea of the scene, perhaps, is to simply perpetuate the strife between these two species via these two men. It's relatively well-played by both Jurasik and Katsulas, but I find the staging to be a bit awkward, and it all comes to a jokey resolution that doesn't work for me. And yet Something truly monumental in significance happens during "Signs and Portents," and to some degree it is created via the petty squabbling that continually occurs between these two men.
Which is, of course, a reflection of the considerable less petty but violent relationship between the two worlds. That relationship will get a great deal worse during this episode, but nobody will know about it for a while. Ladira isn't my favorite.
Also, she should have been named something else; her name is too close to "Adira" Londo's dancing-girl paramour in "Born to the Purple" for my tastes. On the commentary track for the episode, JMS laments that if one Centauri on the whole series had shittier hair than Londo, it was Lord Kiro. The hair thing was kind of an accident, as Straczynski tells it; it's a thing I kind of got used to eventually.
I mean, hey, aliens. This guy is awful. He's one of the raiders, and he's onboard the station so he can kickstart a plot to hijack the Eye. The Eye is not an especially impressive prop. I could make an argument that this works FOR the episode, though: it makes the Centauri obsession with the Eye seem all the more pathetic. Kiro has a plan: he wants to keep the Eye for himself, and use its glory to propel himself into the position of Emperor.
He feels the current Emperor is doing rather a shite job, and thinks that if he is able to step forward with such a symbol as the Eye, he can begin the process of restoring the Centauri people to their rightful place of glory. Londo indicates that this is perhaps not the wisest idea. I like Ivanova's red Star, which is also painted on her Starfury. The question asked by the Vorlons and their agents.
This question covers matters of personal identity. What do you see yourself as, as compared to how you define yourself in terms of others - and indeed, how much you accept others' definitions of who and what you are? What do you want? The question asked by the Shadows and their agents, particularly Mr Morden. This is the question addressing one's needs, our wants, our desires.
What do we need, as compared to what we think we need? What do we desire , as compared to what we need? And are you sure that these are your desires, rather than desires foisted on you by others?
Why are you here? The philosophers' favourite fundamental question. This is the question that gets the asker delving deeply into their raison d'etre. Do you believe that your life has a purpose? Do others think your life has a purpose? And what does the universe think? Where are you going? If you have a purpose, answering the previous question, are you doing something to edge closer to achieving that purpose or not?
Are you achieving your purpose or not? Is there interference holding you back? Someone or something trying to deflect you from achieving your purpose so that you can be used to accomplish theirs? The Icarus was an Interplanetary Expeditions exploratory ship that set down on Z'ha'dum in , in which the crew came into contact with the newly awakened Shadows , which captured them, giving them a choice: to serve them or die.
Anna Sheridan refused, but was enslaved. It is implied than Morden agreed to their offer. Secretly working for the Shadows, Morden returned to civilization in to Babylon 5 with the purpose of asking each of the ambassadors of the Babylon 5 Advisory Council a single question: "What do you want? Morden traveled to the Techno-Mages in December of His presence disturbed Elric , who proceeded to investigate his past. Elric then surmised that Morden was an agent of the Shadows. When it was discovered who Morden was and where he came from, Captain John Sheridan tried to find out detailed information on why he's the lone survivor of the Icarus.
Delenn and Kosh explained to Sheridan the truth about what happened, and that the Icarus was not actually destroyed but that when they arrived on Z'ha'dum they had awakened the Shadows who forced the humans to either serve them or be killed. Since the station was watching out for him, he boarded via a deal with one of the newly-hired low-level security on the station.
Later, he killed the man to cover his tracks. When he met with Mollari, however, he was denied again.
