Quote from: Marleycat;556042Love Babylon 5, love Claudia Christian as Cmdr. Ivanova. It was an absolute genius move to purposely make it a 5 year arc.

Susan Ivanova: Confirmed Survey 1. Upon arrival you will report for debriefing. And just one more thing, on your trip back I want you to take the time to learn the Babylon 5 mantra. Ivanova is always right. I will listen to Ivanova. I will not ignore Ivanova's recommendations. Ivanova is God. And if this ever happens again
[shouts]
Susan Ivanova: Ivanova will personally rip your lungs out! Babylon control out.
[to herself]
Susan Ivanova: Civilians.
[looks up]
Susan Ivanova: Just kidding about that God part. No offense.


Susan Ivanova: Who am I? I am Susan Ivanova, Commander. Daughter of Andre and Sophie Ivanov. I am the right hand of vengeance and the boot that is going to kick your sorry ass all the way back to Earth, sweetheart! I am death incarnate, and the last living thing that you will ever see. God sent me.

After I watched that episode on DVD I rewound to this quote several times in a row.  I'm quite sure that at some point I will have a video file on my computer of just that scene.

Ivanova was the bestest.

The best Ivanova line is from the first part of War Without End (SPOILERS - just to be sure).




They're all on the White Star and Sheridan is having a hard time accepting what's going on and they each comment in turn about whether they should go for it. Ivanova's last in line and just comes out with 'i'll be in the car'.

You had to be there, but it is funny. It is well timed.
"Ghost Whistler" is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). Parental death, alien battles and annihilated worlds.

I agree. Of all the episodes of TV that have ever remotely treaded on that sort of plot/theme, Bab5 did it lightyears beyond them all.  I don't usually say that about B5 (which I do like, but so many of the episodes were trite and predictable...cliched).


Also I still think that Mordin was one of the best TV villains. Yet, he did so very little, which may be why he worked so well.

Bester.

The fact that he was played by Walter Koenig was just icing on the cake.

Indeed. I think the show had some of the best villains ever.

Don't get me wrong, I liked Bester. I just like Mordin more.  Though, honestly, I wouldn't like Bester if it weren't for the whole Chechov thing.

The Harlan Ellison cameo with Bester was priceless.

Did anyone give Babylon 5/Traveler a shot (or the d20 based one)?

The d20 version was OK, but there were some flaws so I ended up getting rid of my books.

I thought the Traveller one was going to be awesome and was completely disappointed in it. I love me some Traveller and think Mongoose did that game right, but I am not at all surprised by Straczynski pulling their license - the Traveller version was a rush job and it showed.

I actually ran a campaign using the Babylon Project Rules, which pre-dated both. Which was o.k. Although, if I was to run it again (which I might, its a good setting for games IMO) I would probably look at picking up the Traveller version.

When he first appeared, I thought they shouldn't have cast "Chekov" in the part, then the second time he appeared, I completely forgot about Chekov. In fact, I watched Star Trek again after watching a couple of series of B5 and, for a moment, thought "Oh, there's Bester".
