I am just wondering what is everyones fav Char from B5 and what do you think the best line from the 5 seasons are. My favorite char would have to be either ivanova or lenier. Both had great lines and very deep and complex charachters. As for teh best line I think it would have to be Delenn when she is on the Sharlin and is getting ready to Hose the Omegas trying to take control of B5 and she tells the Omegas to back down they say no say they will open fire. She then replies there is only one Earth Captain to ever to defeat the minbari in battle He is behind me you are in front of me. If you value your lives be somewhere else.

Just curious about your thoughts
 
I would have to say favorite characters is a toss up between G'kar or Londo.
Minor Characters: would have to be Zathras


Favorite quote Zathras: Can not run out of time. There is infinite time. You are finite. Zathras is finite. This is wrong tool
 
Without doubt Londo!

Favourite line goes to Lorien though. Sheridan knows. What remains to be seen is wether he knows that he knows.

Though Londo speaking to maintanance about the insect was fun too :D

"I don't like little, brown, things with eight legs. I don't like anything with eight legs. Except Vinzini. But only because they are terrible at cards, something to do with compound eyes I think" - slight errors possible, going by memory :D
 
I would say G'kar is my fav.

When him and Londo where trapped in the elevator and might die. Londo wanted G'kar to help so they would both live and G'kar just starts laughing at him. Saying if he kills him 500 narns would be killed but if he just watches him die he would be happy.
 
Probably one of my all time favorite scenes in the series is the whole exchange at the dinner sequence in this particular episode, but if I had to pick a specific quote:

"Gods by the bushel! Gods by the pound! Gods for all occasions!"

-- Londo in Babylon 5:"The Parliament of Dreams"
 
Jha'dur: You will fall upon one another like wolves. Hate us, Commander? You will become us.



Lennier to Delenn on skindancing along the Drakh mothership: I push this button and pray very very quickly.



Ivanova: Who wants to live forever?
Marcus Cole: I do actually.


Marcus Cole: If you're going to have delusions, then you might as well go for the really satisfying ones.
 
Can't say the whole series as I'm still working though it again...

But... G'Kar... I simply love the changes through out the series, Marcus, who doesn't want to have that kind of timing and humor in life, the doomsday telepath Lyta.

Lines...

G'Kar in the elevator with Londo... singing... and when Londo cries out 'can anyone hear me' G'kar replies in that sing song 'I can hear you!' before bursting out laughing.

when Ivanova talks to the Walker, it won't use english but understands it, Marcus making the comment in the background... 'Who knew they'd be French'.

Garabaldi has one of my favorite lines although not in B5 but in one of the books: "Whats up Drakh!"


my favorite character is Marcus Cole
 
G'Kar is the best character. So much development throughout the series...

Marcus if my favourite.

But there's just something about Vir. I mean, little airhead Vir grows up and becomes the Emperor but is still so innocent even then...

Favourite lines: "Well if it isn't, then it's not. But if it is... Well, there you are." -- Sheridan, A Call to Arms

"I spy with my little eye, something that begins with 'B'"
"Boxes."
"Okay, again. I spy with my little eye, something that begins with 'M'"
"More Boxes."
"One more try. I spy with my little eye, something that begins with 'E'"
"Even more boxes."
--Marcus and Franklin on the way to Mars, Season 4


"You are not The One. And you are not The One. And you are not The One."
--Xathras to Sheridan, Sinclair and Delenn on B4, Season 3


"Xathras tell Xathras not to go, but Xathras never listen to Xathras..."
--Xathras to Ivanova, Season 4


"Do not make us engage your ships."
"Why not?"
--Delenn and the EA fleet commander at the end of the Battle for Babylon 5


"What do you want, Vir Cotto?"
"What do I want? What I want is to be there when they cut off your head and stick it on a pike in the garden. Then I'm going to look up into your lifeless eyes and wave. Just like this."
--Vir and Morden sometime during Season 1


"I really hate it when you do that"
"Good"
--Sheridan and Kosh during Sheridan's education, Season 2


God, it's like "Shoot 'Em Up" There was a great line almost every episode. So hard to remember them all, let alone choose just one.


Edit: I forgot one. Morden and Londo near the end of Morden's life:
"Yes, you ships are Very impressive. In the air or in space. But right now, they are on the ground."
"Our ships can sense an enemy approaching from miles away and be in the air in seconds. So what are you going to do? Blow up the island?"
"Well, now that you mention it..."

"Even more boxes."

Franklin: And that's when I shot him, your honor.
 
Marcus has some of the best lines. I've posted his little monologue about the general unfairness and hostility of the universe in my classroom.

He's probably my favorite character in a "when I grow up, I want to be just like him" way.

erm, without the whole marriage to Dr. Franklin thing...
 
Oh and for those who were missing Bester in all of this...

Alfred Bester: Ms. Alexander has no business being here. She's a blip! By all rights, I should arrest her, and take her back with me.

John Sheridan: Oh, you could do that. And I could nail your head to the table, set fire to it, and feed your charred remains to the Pak'ma'ra! But it's an imperfect world, and we never get exactly what we want.

The look on Ivanova's face is GLORIOUS!


Oh, and for those of you having a hard time with this...

Londo for sure.

"People must hire guards for the bone content in their heads. Might as well hire minbaris." - Londo after punching a centauri guard in the head to save vir. Possible errors.lol
 
Far too hard. Great lines from so many great characters, major and minor.

Ivanova - barely a bad line in the whole thing.

Londo at the Centauri festival.
But in purple, I'm stunning.
Priceless.

Vir has to be my favourite. His innocence. His reaction to Londo passing out.
