I'm watching S3 now and I have a question maybe someone can help me with.
When President Hathaway asked Cochise why they were fighting the war, Cochise's explanation was about the flower he wanted his children's children to see etc. etc. This answer seemed satisfactory to the people in the scene, but I didn't get it at all. What does chasing the Espheni around the universe (as the Volm claim they are doing) have to do with protecting their children? Why are they fighting each other? To me, the answer sounded like a sweet-sounding but empty lie because it never addressed the point of the question. What are the Volm claiming is the connection between themselves and the Espheni? Was the Volm homeworld and every planet they tried to settle after that all attacked?
Did anyone get something more out of Cochise's answer in that scene than I did?
Maybe they follow them to keep them from expanding beyond what they can handle
