[edit] Disambiguation
I think there should be a disambiguation page on Kosh, due to the amount of other pages with the same first name.--Rabbitdude 16:20, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Missing information
This article should probably explain the decision to kill off Kosh - was it planned from the beginning of the series, or as a result of the voice-actor leaving, 'etc? Inquiring minds want to know. Raul654 04:10, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Kosh's death was planned from the start. Andrew Swallow 17:45, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
- Kosh's death was planned from the start-- but the timing wasn't. According to JMS posts on the internet, the original intent was for Kosh to die off later than he did. In terms of the "heroic journey", the death of the mentor is a necessary step. The timing came about at Kosh's request, in a sense. JMS, describing how characters come alive inside the author's imagination, said that Kosh (or rather, his own imaginative voice playing the part of Kosh) "told" him it was time.
- More literally, JMS wrote a series of events that naturally flowed into Kosh's death, and the timing proved to be one of those cases where he felt that his literary judgment had improved since he'd first outlined the 5 year arc. Wellspring (talk) 20:30, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Ulkesh material does NOT belong here
Ulkesh wasn't Kosh. He was misleading Sheridan, and insisted on being called Kosh to hide the real Kosh's death, as confirmed by JMS [1] about him mainly being a "pain in the butt" by not revealing his own real name. Vorlons like the air of mystery about themselves. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Garkbit (talk • contribs) 19:16, 15 April 2007 (UTC).

- Agreed. Ulkesh needs a seperate entry. MagicFlyinLemur 21:30, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

- Ulkesh needs some citation that his name is Ulkesh. It doesn't say this in the whole frakkin series anywhere. Otherwise his name is Kosh, like he said, and thus DOES belong right here.76.231.44.109 (talk) 09:40, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

- Ulkesh was named in the canon novel To Dream in the City of Sorrows, and confirmed by JMS on a mailing-list posting (text search for "same vorlon"). Geminidomino (talk) 16:37, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
