Favorite Charachter or Line Fom B5

[inq101]

Sheridan: Mr. Bester, we no longer have any ties to Earth or to the Psi Corps. So we don't have to put up with you or your games. Now, I am sitting on four brand-new unidirectional pulse cannons. Give me one good reason why I shouldn't blow you out of the sky!
Bester: Because you're curious? Kill me, and you'll never know what brought me all the way out here! I think if you weigh that against the brief satisfaction of "blowing me out of the sky", you'll do the right thing!

Bester: Captain?
John Sheridan: I'm thinking it over!
Bester: Ah! … Good!


Although 'striped naked and THEN thrown out the airlock' was pretty close.

Best characters were Londo and G'Kar by a country mile

Best quotes? that's tough....

Susan Ivanova: I'm in the middle of fifteen things, all of them annoying.

I actually find myself using this one at work, a lot!

Londo Mollari: The Council can go to hell! And the emergency session can go to hell! And you, Vir, you can go to hell too — I would not want you to feel left out.

G'Kar: Oh, yes it is; it's simply not an answer you like, or the answer you expected. There's a difference. Narns, Humans, Centauri, we all do what we do for the same reason: because it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Londo Mollari: But this… this, this, this is like… being nibbled to death by, uh… Pah! What are those Earth creatures called? Feathers, long bill, webbed feet… go "quack".
Vir Cotto: Cats.
Londo Mollari: Cats! I'm being nibbled to death by cats.

 

[Triggy]

Favourite character, probably Londo - he has some great lines and his character is simultaneously tragic and believable. Great writing.

Many good quotes so far, a couple more of my favourites:

"Welcome to Babylon 5, the last best hope for a quick buck."

"It's a mockery. It doesn't even have any .. ahhem .. attributes."
"Attributes?"
"Do I have to spell it out for you?"

"Who am I? I'm Susan Ivanova, Commander, daughter of Andrei and Sofie Ivanov. I am the right hand of vengeance, and the boot that is gonna kick your sorry ass all the way back to Earth, sweetheart. I'm death incarnate and the last living thing that you're ever going to see. God sent me."

 

[Hannibal]

My absolute favorite conversation in the whole show:

Londo Mollari: Now, I have been studying these reports from the front lines. You'll note the plural form — lines. Is there anyone along our border with whom we are not currently at war?

Lord Refa: We need room to expand.

Londo Mollari: Only an idiot fights a war on two fronts. Only the heir to the throne of the kingdom of idiots would fight a war on twelve fronts.

Londo Mollari: Yes... and it is very "interesting" poison. It comes in two parts. Both are harmless on their own. But when combined... quite lethal. The first. settles into the bloodstream, and the intestinal walls. It stays there for years. Silent... Dormant... Waiting... When the other half of the poison enters your system the two meet, have a little party in your cardiovascular system. And suddenly, you are quite dead.

Peter Jurasik's delivery is what makes this whole diatribe great.

Lorien: Scepticism is the language of the mind. What does your heart tell you?

Ivanova: My heart and I don't speak anymore.

Lorien: Yes, I have noticed that ...

 

[M1ndr1d3rs]

Fav main cast: G'kar
Fav recurring: Bester
Fav 1-timer: Jha'dur "Deathwalker"

Fav quote, too many... Among them:

*"Only one human captain has ever survived battle with a Minbari fleet. He is behind me, you are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else!" -Delenn

*In a cargo transport:
Marcus: (recites "Pirates of Penzance")
Dr. Franklin: AAAAAAAARGH!

 

[Burger]

From the pilot...

"As the only race without telepaths, we are at a tactical disadvantage. You could change that. Now, would you prefer to be conscious or unconscious during the mating? I would prefer conscious, but I don't know what your ... pleasure threshold is..."

 

[Greg Smith]

"Who am I? I'm Susan Ivanova, Commander, daughter of Andrei and Sofie Ivanov. I am the right hand of vengeance, and the boot that is gonna kick your sorry ass all the way back to Earth, sweetheart. I'm death incarnate and the last living thing that you're ever going to see. God sent me."

That is my favourite, too.

 

[Banichi]

Its hard to say who my favourate charicter is. Londo and G'Kar would come close, just because I really liked the way both characters developed. It was such a good series for sneaking in cool lines that it is hard to pick one.

 

[Shadow Queen]

"Who am I? I'm Susan Ivanova, Commander, daughter of Andrei and Sofie Ivanov. I am the right hand of vengeance, and the boot that is gonna kick your sorry ass all the way back to Earth, sweetheart. I'm death incarnate and the last living thing that you're ever going to see. God sent me."

That is my favourite, too.

I was thinking of that when i was walking home.

"You talk like a Minbari Commander."

 

[Burger]

I like Derina's old sig quote, too. The one about drowning in testosterone. That line must be the best thing about Crusade!

 

[H]

Without a doubt the combination of Londo and G'kar make for many of the shows best moments, between them they were by far two of the most developed characters throughout the show, and you could empathise with both of them quite a lot. As an incidental character Zathras was great, all of him/them.
have to say again, like with the episodes, i am not encyclopaedic on remembering lines, and never intend to be either, but i do like londo and Virs conversation about webbed footed creatures that go quack.. cats..

 

[Shadow Queen]

I like Derina's old sig quote, too. The one about drowning in testosterone. That line must be the best thing about Crusade!

thanks mate.

Mack, "So, get a chance to see the new captain?"
Bo, "Yea."
Mack, "What do you think?"
Bo, "Tastes like ..."
Mack, "Don't go there."

Bo, "That the joke. Whenever you eat something strange and someone ask what's it taste like, you supposed to say chicken. It's funny that way."
Mack, "It doesn't taste like chicken."

 

[Burger]

Sinclair and Talia:

"Problem with the transfer tube?"
"No, not really. It seems like every time I get into the tube, Mr. Garibaldi is there. It's like he knows."
"Talia, Mr. Garibaldi is many things, but he's not omniscient."
[Garibaldi appears]
"I think I'll take the stairs."
"I think I'll join you."

If you watch previous episodes you notice that Geribaldi really is in a tube every time Talia gets into one!!!

 

[Shadow Queen]

I like Derina's old sig quote, too. The one about drowning in testosterone. That line must be the best thing about Crusade!

you mean this??

Dureena, "Gods, I am drowning in testosterone."
Eilerson, "Oh, luckily for you, your equipped with flotation devices."

 

[Burger]

Thats the one :lol:

 

[Shadow Queen]

G'kar, "If the book is holy and I am holy, then I must help you to become closer to thoughts of the Universe. Put your face in the book"

Thwack!!!!

Ta'lon, "There is lesson number one."

 

[kalain76]

Oh where to begin...

Marcus: And according to one of our units on the border of Centauri space, they've continued massing their fleet. We don't know why. Maybe they expect a counter attack, it's hard to say. And they have much to be concerned about. There's always the threat of an attack by say, a giant space dragon, the kind that leaves the sun every thirty days. It's a nuisance, but what would you expect from reptiles. Did I mention that my nose was on fire? That I have fifteen wild badgers living in my trousers?
<Ivanova glares at him>
I'm sorry, would you prefer ferrets?

(After the Walkers of Sigma 957 start to leave)
Ivanonva: I'm not letting them leave here without saying Yes.
Marcus: How do you intend to do that? Get a giant red sign with the word "Stop" on it? Or, I know, I'll put a bucket on my head and pretend to be the ancient Vorlon god Boojie.
Ivanova: Wait! That's it!
Marcus: Fine! I'll go get a bucket!

(Marcus standing over a bar room full of unconscious people)
Marcus: BUGGER! Now I have to wait for someone to wake up...
(Lennier shows up)
Lennier: I see they trained you well back on Minbar.
Marcus: They said I had a lot of repressed anger.
Lennier: And now?
Marcus: I'm not repressed anymore.

Which reminds me of another one...

Lennier: ...Woo-hoo?
Sheridan: <shocked & worried look>

But my ultimate favorite line has already been mentioned...
Delenn: This is Ambassador Delenn of the Minbari. Babylon 5 is under our protection. WITHDRAW. Or be destroyed.
Captain Dexter: Negative. We have authority here. Do not force us to engage your ships.
Delenn: WHY NOT? Only one human captain has survived battle with the Minbari fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else.

 

[Da Boss]

not sure if its a line - bit I have always liked the noise Shadow Ships make - and Bester was great

 

[Taran]

Season 2, before Sheridan gets there, in fact, I think it's the episode where he Does get there, Ivanova is having a conversation with members of the Non-Aligned Worlds who have an issue with their quarters or something and she offers to move them down the hall into the fusion reactors...

and then there's G'Kar with King Arthur, "And they made a very satisfying Thump! when they hit the floor!"
