Favourite Episodes from the Show

[David Anla Shok']

Lastly, theres Legend of the Rangers.... /shudder. Quite possibly the worst movie ever made. And I've seen some BAD movies.

Abysmal plot that completely throws any sense of continuity with the rest of B5 out the window, 'acneint and all powerful' enemies whos ships can be destroyed by a HAND GRENADE, stupidest weapon system ever concieved and acting more wooden than Pinochio. It's a travesty that this was G'Kars last appearance since it's hardly a fitting epitaph for one of the best characters in B5 (and definitely one of, if not THE best actor in the series (unless you count guest stars like Micheal York of course (which reminds me: Late Delivery from Avalon, also one of my favourites)

Legend of the Rangers worst movie ever?

You must have a limited movie history. Clearly, you have never seen Bad Girls From Mars, Manos Hand of Fate, or Flesh Gordon and the Cosmic Cheerleaders.

You forgot 'Curse of the Cannabil Confederates' and 'Worm Eaters'. There's 3 or so hours of my life I'll not get back. :?

True, true. Though, I try to incorporate mass consumption of alchohol with the viewing of such...epics, so it's not a total waste. I'm still ambivialent about "Cannibal Women in the Avacado Jungle of Death". I kind of liked that one.

My friends ( :roll: ) and I torture each other with terrible movies. Peter Jackson's Dead Alive (or Braindead) was winning for a while, but then we got ENTER ZOMBIE KING (zombies, superhoeros, and mexican wrestling!) and GIRLS WILL BE GIRLS (which doesn't star a single actual woman!). The make Legend look like an Oscar winner.

People bad mouth Legend of the Rangers as if it were a standalone movie. It was a pilot, with all of the "getting to know you" problems that come with it. Anyone remember the pilot episodes for all of the Treks? Pretty much awful stuff when considered for artistic quality. While there were issues with Legends of the Rangers (some imagined) I liked it. Had it blossomed into a series I'm sure that it would have been smoothed out and shiny.

Hmmm, maybe. Maybe. I also liked the costumers work. 0;>

I try to only watch bad movies when they are accompanied by the crew from Mystery Science Theater 3000...

 

[dag'karlove]

When did Favorite get a "U" in it? Ohh and my favorite episodes are "Into the fire" and when Marcus takes on Neroon when Neroon is trying to stop Delenn from becoming Ranger one and when The Minbari Rangers come to B5 and go after that huge Criminal Gang applying thier own special brand of teror.

They should have got an Oscar for their work, not just the weiner

I'm afraid you're asking for this one...

...Americans dropped the "u" when Webster rewrote the dictionary to help the amalgamation of cultures that is the USA by making many words easier to spell. In English (as opposed to US English), the "u" remains as it has done for a long while.

Nothing wrong with a stupidly long list Lorcan, they're all great episodes

 

[Lorcan Nagle]

Yeah, and I especially wanted to list some of the non-battle eps stood out for me - things like "Believers" and "Passing Through Gethsaname" and "Confessions and lamentations" where the characters fail in the end on very personal levels.

And there's so many moments that were fantastic in episodes that didn't make my cut- I loved the opening court scene in "Grail" for example, with Jim Norton as Ombuds Wellington showing perfect exasperation at the human suing the Vree for his great-great grandfather's abduction.

Confessions and Lamentations is probably the best standalone episode of the entire series. I watched it the other day and it's beautiful in the tragedy of events. The only reason it didn't make my top three for the season is because most of them tie the major arcs together, rather than any other reason.

The crossroad episodes will always be remembered but they would be nothing without the path leading to them.

 

[Taran]

sorry, but which one was "Confessions"?

I'm not really up on the Names of the episodes (don't really pay attention to that part when watching...)

The one where the Markab die out from the Drafa plague.
