There are a lot of great B5 moments but my favorite is when Susan and Marcus are looking for First ones, and the Firsts one wont listen so marcus says he will act like a Vorlon and put a bucket on his head and pretend to be the god B'uji. I think thats how you spell it :). A great B5 moment

The 3 most common elements in the Universe:
Hydrogen, Greed, Stupidity!
 
Wow, most of my favorites have already been mentioned (delenn to the rescue, Ivanova=handofGod speach), but here's two more:

- The scene in Endgame (or was it Rising Star?) with Ivanova curled up on the floor of Medlab, crying her heart out to Franklin. That was such an incredibly intense and heart-breaking scene . . . *sniff*

- In Point of No Return, when Zack is ambushed by Sheridan and the rest, and then the tricking of Nightwatch. I love Zack turning and throwing himself through the door, don't know why.

Oh, one more: When G'kar and Lyta are leaving the station (objects at rest?). She pauses as G'kar walks down the ramp, almost expectantly. Then, when she walks down to catch up with G'kar, Zack comes out from behind some boxes (or something, it's been a while) to watch her go. I almost cried -- he didn't say goodbye, or anything! But he was there, and she knew it . . . I felt so bad for him.

Best moments per season

"Signs and Portents", Season 1:
The transport tube with G'Kar and Londo.
Londo's speech to Morden. (I know it by heart.)

"In the Shadow of Z'Ha'Dum", Season 2:
Sheridan's story about Coventry is great, especially since it was the 1st time I'd heard the story.

"Z'Ha'Dum", Season 3:
Just watch the episode. All 47 or so minutes is classic.

"The Summoning", Season 4:
Sheridan's speech I also know by heart. It's just wonderful.

"Sleeping in the Light", Season 5:
Again, just watch the episode.

With the world turning circles 'round my brain

my favorite episode is from season 5, its the one where byron agrees to leave the station, but has a little run in w/ a explosive material on the way,

One all time great moment that hasn't been mentioned yet:

Joe Straczynski turning out the lights just before blowing up the station.

He promised way back in the beginning, that if he got 5 years, that would be IT.
No dragging around the corpse of a story that was Over, just to make a few bucks for the studio.
The shows that succumb to temptation and don't know enough to quit while they are still GOOD are an embarassment.

There's even a website devoted to them called "Jump the Shark".

It's named after an episode of "Happy Days" when the character Fonzie actually "jumped the shark." http://www.jumptheshark.com/

Many people define that episode as the one that Proved the show was Dead and should be given a proper funeral.

just to digress a little here. As much as it's cool that they're not going to flog the Babylon series to death. It's really heart breaking to know that B5 is truly finite. Yes there are the spin off serials, Crusade was excellent and I haven't had the pleaseure of seeing TLOTR yet but I'm certain it will be well worth the wait but none of them are B5.
"sob" "sob"
Well as much as I hate cliches "all things come to an end"

Superbob out until the new year!

Here are my favorite moments:

  1. <LI> Vir talking to Morden about the one thing he wants (head on pike)

    Londo's Gift to Vir on Centauri Prime (Morden's head on pike)

    And in both cases Vir's smile and wave
    wink.gif


    <LI>Marcus fighting Neroon ("Give up! I was taught the pike by _____ himself!"
    "Really? SO was I!")
    cool.gif


    My absolute favorite moments are these
    <LI> Marcus hooked up to the alien device giving his life energy to Ivanova. (when the life is fading from him and he manages to say "I love you")
    frown.gif


    <LI>Ivanova and Franklin scene in medlab afterwords ("And I thought, 'is this god?' I mean he really does have an english accent like in all those old movies." and "All love is unrequited, Stephen, All of it.")
    frown.gif
It was just so poignant a moment that it sticks in my mind.

I would say when Londo is observing the bombing of Narn. The look on his face is amazing and priceless.

Also, sorry, the death of Byron...I was so glad to end that subplot that almost brought Season 5 to a halt for me.
 
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.
