my moment: G'Kar -- "Dead. Dead. dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead . . . how do you apologize to them." Vir -- "I can't" G'Kar -- "Than I cannot forgive" BTW, thanks garak0410 for resurrecting this awesome thread.

Arrogant does sound like Penn Gilette (The tall, gregarious one). Teller (when not in character) is quite talkative, though. I've heard that he was a University Professor or something like that. Penn and Teller did have a Showtime show called "Bullshit" in which they go around...

I just re-watched this episode this weekend and am thinking more that it was Talia that hung over him, not Lise. He mentions how news of Lise really messed him up, but then he says ". . . then there's this lady that I shouldn't have a shot in hell with . . ." and continues " . . . maybe its...

Gave it a C. Lots of promises that were never followed up on. I'm not laying the blame on anyone's feet but its the reality of the situation and it detracts from the episode. Still the ep had some redeeming features. Insight into Sheridan's various curiosities. Some would say his hobby of...

GROPOS is a B-episode to me. I liked it for the most part. Cheesy bar fight scenes and all. I'm on the "black dude is cool" bandwagon. I'm also in the "don't know enough of military protocol to get really peeved at various inconsistencies" crowd. Though reading this now, it sort of fits...

"Because I don't have a real sword handy." -- Timov If that line didn't take you to the floor, you need to buy a sense of humor. Timov was an awesome character--stone-cold, witty, and yet very genuine. I gave this story an A. It's just one of those episodes that makes me really happy...

Okay, two people have come out in open support of "Starship Troopers". That tears it, this community is awesome! . . . . . As if building a community focused around discussing the finer points of Babylon 5 wasn't enough of a clue for me, I know. :p

I gave it a C. The Gathering never really grabbed a hold of me, initially. The story was a little convoluted and I've only ever understood the Del Varner plot thread upon repeated watchings. I'm glad that they changed many aspects when they went to the show. The characters people have...

Oops....my mistake vacantlook, you're right, G'Kar did say that to Sakai at the end of the next episode, "Mind War". The end of this one was Sinclair showing everyone the dominant Earth religion. Got mixed up.

I looked up US DVD sales from www.the-numbers.com for week ending August 5, 2007 and Babylon 5:TLT which had been in release for 1 week in the U.S. was 16th on the list with 51,559 units sold. No where near the 5.1 million for "300"--crimony!! The following week (ending Aug 12) was published...

Excellent, excellent episode. At various times throughout, we've introduced friends of ours to Babylon 5--usually starting at Episode 1 (instead of the Pilot). We affectionately referred to this as "passing along the needle". Generally it was after this episode that they were pretty much...

Okay, Jan, this is the first I'd heard of this. I can understand it, in many ways Andreas' G'Kar was the heart and soul of the entire show. I somewhat disagree here. Scoggins has a limited range of acting but fits the character decently. Boxleightner was pretty much born to play...

I did say young G'Kar. You could cast someone different and explain it as the difference in age. Although I agree, I wouldn't wish to be the one that had to reprise the role of G'Kar after Andreas Katsulas. Goodness talk about big shoes to fill.

I rated this episode "Good", probably a little higher than I probably should because there are some aesthetic characteristics that I've always loved about the episode. The musical score for this episode by Christopher Franke was awesome, especially the music when we see the Explorer ship--The...

First time poster on the site. The quality of discussion here is very impressive, kudos to the moderators and members. On to the discussion: ======================================================= I've been a fan of Babylon 5 since I was introduced to it back in 1997 by a friend via VHS who...
