Best / Coolest Moments on Babylon 5 ?

[Beckmen]

Also the bit where Londo finds out that his love has been poisoned. And assumes the wrong person did it. And starts down his irreversible dark path. I cried for him.

And the episode where he find out who was really responsible was equally as cool.

I'd be remiss to leave out "Now get the hell out of our galaxy!".

Just watched those episodes this morning, up to The Illusion of Truth. Taking a break since I basically watched 5 and half episodes in one sitting, I'll start it back up in a few minutes, I think.

can someone answer me a question while we're here.

in the lost tales right at the beginning there's g'kars speech where he goes:

"i believe that when we leave a place a part of it goes with us, and a part of us remains. Go anywhere in this station when it is quiet and just listen. After a while you will hear the echoes of all our conversations. Every thought and word we've exchanged. Long after we're gone our voices will linger in these walls."

this for me is one of g'kars most touching, memorable and beautiful lines and i know it's in an episode but i can't remember which one. can anyone remember?

also who else thinks that g'kar should say those words at the beginning of every lost tale which is hopefully to come?

Objects In Motion, apparently.

(I say apparently because I used this search to find it. The website itself is great for quotes, much better than Wikiquote IMO.)

And yes, I agree it was (and is) an amazing speach. Pretty much every speech G'kar made in S4 and 5 were unbelievable. Always filled with so much more information than you'd think possible to put into mere words. After I finish Crusade (which is a lot better than I thought it was going to be) I look forward to rewatching the whole show again, purely for character moments and speeches such as those. Amazing.

ok thanks. that's helpful.

[Hypochondriac]

Didn't the actor who played G'kar die? That why he's exploring beyond the rim.

[Missster.Freeman]

Yep. Andreas Katsulas passed away 14 February last year.

[Reefgirl]

I found the whole of Passing Through Gethsemne amazing it's usually the first DVD I reach for

The scene where Susan is in tears over Marcus' death and telling Steven about the moment she heard him say I Love You always has me in floods

When G'Kar quotes WB Yeats poem the Second Coming with Delenn looking at her new face over him quoting the lines 'And what rough beast, it's hour come round at last, slouches towards Bethlehem to be born' always sends shivers down my spine

And here's Londo's monologue on humans from "In the Beginning" for anyone who wants to see it again:

Heh, nice one, Xicer. Thanks for the link.

Watched In the Beginning last night and was blown away by Ivanova's earring. I never noticed she only wore one when I watched the show on TV years ago, but watching on DVD I noticed it in Voices of Authority in one of her extreme close-ups and had been wondering ever since, always noticing it and scratching my head. The explanation is so great, and makes it so that you can actually see the cost of war and her own personal loss all throughout the series, as she literally carries it with her. So many great moments like that in this show.

Best moment in B5, Delenn saying goodbye to Sheridan.

"If you go to Zha'Ha'Dum you will die!" -- My boyfriend and I never gets tired saying this.
The end of the last episode of S4, when the last human in our galaxy takes an ascended form and leave.
And the whole last episode of B5, every time I watch it, I cry all along.

[P-90_177]

i found quite a cool moment that i forgot about earlier.
that bit in 'a view from the gallery' where those two guys are escorting delenn to the escape pods but she reasons with them that if they did that she'd still die. delenns imense logic at work there.

yeah, and so did Richard Biggs, who played the doctor, thats y they were both mentioned as exploring beyong the rim.

which is ashame they are not inthe lost tales, especially G'kar

[tetrion]

Hmm, off the top of my head, when Drakh are first introduced and Attacks the Whitestars, then they return for vengance blocking the jumpgate, and Delenn exclaims in a cold to lennier 'End This' in a demeanor so cold, that would make anyone that was fighting in the battle of the line soil themselves.

Battle of the line, when Sinclair looks up and sees the sky open and all the Minbari armada jumps in.

Vorlon planet killer causing an eclipse on Centauri homeworld, the look of sheer horror on Londo's face.

First Ones jumping in at Coriana 6, and handing the vorlons/shadow's their asses

Victory / Excalibur firing Main weapons.

B5 blowing up in final episode, with JMS looking on beforehand before flipping the switch.

Absolute masterpiece opening of Lost tales, with G'kar, music and various races being introduced with stunning CGI.

Galen in the well of forever

finally gotta mention loved galen's dry one liners... had me cracking up all the time...
