Jack The Ripper's Appearence on Babylon5
There was one episode i saw when someone known as the 'inquisiter' was sent by the Vorlon ambassadar, Kosh. The Vorlons are still unseen till now, but definatly not humans. But when the inquisitor arrived, it was a man dressed like in the 18th centuary.
He was sent to see Delenn and test her to make sure she was the right one to handle the battle with John Sheriden during the coming war. He had Delenn meet him in a basement level and told her to put on two bands around her wrist. Then he asked her:
Inquisitor: Who are you?
Delenn: I am Delenn.
Inquisitor: Unacceptable answer! I already know your name, what i want to know is who you are.
Delenn: But...i am Delenn.
Inquisitor: UNACCEPTABLE ANSWER!
-And Delenn recieved a jolt of electric current through the bands. The inquisitor sends it from his cane.
Inquisitor: With each time you fail the punishment will only become more severe. Now tell me, who are you?
Delenn: Uh..i'm..i'm the daughter of-
Inquisitor: UNACCEPTABLE ANSWER!
-ZAP!
Inquisitor: How are you to fight legends, when you cannot even tell me who you are?
Turns out others who had been tested by him had died trying to pass it. Delenn was possibly one of the next ones to do so.
Well it continued throughout the day, the jolts becoming so severe to the point she couldn't even get up after the zap and remained lying on the floor, close to tears but not moving to save her enegy and rest when she could. Eventually Lennier went looking for her, and he found her lying still and staring up at the ceiling, the bands still on her hand. The inquisitor had given her a break.
Lennier: Deleen, what's he doing to you? I have to get you out!
Delenn: No! If you do that i'll fail. Everything will be for nothing, you have to go.
Lennier: Not without you.
Delenn: No, Lennier, please. If you really care about me, you'll leave. Quick, he's coming back. Lennier, leave. Please, please...go, please...please.
-And Lennier ran to find John Sheriden. Sheriden arrived some time after Delenn recived one of the strongest jolts that left her in pain to the point she could only move her head in tears and sob to herself after she crashed to the floor. SHe was unable to speak for the pain was too bad and she just kept crying while the inquisitor continued to talk.
Inquisitor: I'm sorry Delenn, but i don't think this will work out for you.
-John shows up
Inquisitor: And here were have the final piece in the drama.
John: Get away from her!
Inquisitor: ANd what is she to you?
John: I don't have to answer any of your questions.
Inquisitor: You're right captain, you don't.
-He zaps John and John goes unconsious. He wakes up tied to a post. (The rest is from wikiquote)
Inquisitor: You said you didn't have to answer any of my questions. But there's no reason to exclude you from our deliberations. You're linked at the hip (referring to John having something similar the bands that shocked Deleen), just as bad as she is. But you're not just a dreamer. You're a soldier! How far are you prepared to go? How much are you prepared to risk? How many people are you prepared to sacrifice for victory? Are you willing to die friendless, alone, deserted by everyone? Because that's what may be required of you in the war that is to come!
John Sheridan: Go to Hell!
Inquisitor: This is Hell, Captain, and you are its chief damned soul. What about the people you work with, the people you call friends? Are you willing to sacrifice them? What about your family? [He zaps Sheridan with his cane.] What about your God? [Another zap.] What about truth? [Zap.] What about blood? [Zap.] What about right? [Zap.] What about wrong? [Zap.] What about your future? [Zap.] What about faith? [Zap.] What about sin? [Zap.] What about Hell? [Zap.] What about death? [Zap.] What about etern…
Delenn: ENOUGH! Your quarrel is with me! You were sent to investigate me! Let him go! If you want to take someone, then take me!
-she manages to get up. The inquisitor asks her what John is to her. She responds that it is not his concern, but she is willing to die for him. Her destiny will be handled by others.
Delenn: If I fall, another will take my place, and another, and another.
Inquisitor: But your great cause! (refering to the purpose she knows she is meant to serve in the war.)
Delenn: This is my cause--Life! One life or a billion, it's all the same!
Inquisitor: Then you make the sacrifice willingly? No fame. No armies or banners or cities to celebrate your name. You will die alone and unremarked and forgotten.
Delenn: This body is only a shell. You cannot touch me, you cannot harm me. I'm not afraid.
-And Delenn tells him that she is willing to die for John. The inquisitor nods, and suddenly disappears. The bonds diappear and the John and Delenn hug (the usual). As they turn to leave, the inquisitor appears at the door.
Inquisitor: You can go. You've passed, both of you.
Delenn: Passed what?
Inquisitor: How do you know the Chosen Ones? "No greater love hath a man than he lay down his life for his brother." Not for millions…not for glory…not for fame. For one person, in the dark, where no one will ever know or see. I have been in the service of the Vorlons for centuries, looking for you. Diogenes with his lamp, looking for an honest man willing to die for all the wrong reasons. At last, my job is finished. Yours is just beginning. When the darkness comes, know this: You are the right people, in the right place, at the right time.
-SOme time later. John sees the inquisitor to his ship.
John: Mr…Sebastian (his name is sebestain), I did a little digging, based on what you told me. The records confirm you lived on Earth in the year 1888. The records also indicate that you vanished, suddenly, without a trace on November 11th, 1888. That's a very interesting date, Mr. Sebastian. The morning after the last of a string of murders in the East End.
Inquisitor: The city was drowning in decay. Chaos. Immorality. A message needed to be sent, etched in blood for all the world to see. A warning. In the pursuit of my holy cause, I…did things. Terrible things. Unspeakable things. The world condemned me, but it didn't matter because I believed I was right and the world was wrong. I believed I was the divine messenger. I believed I was…
John: Chosen?
Inquisitor: [after a pause] I was…found by the Vorlons. They showed me the terrible depth of my mistake, my crimes, my…presumption. I have done four hundred years of penance in their service, a job for which they said I was ideally suited. Now, perhaps, they will finally let me die.
John: I think that might be wise.
Inquisitor: [turning to board a Vorlon transport] Good luck to you in your holy cause, Captain Sheridan. May your choices have better results than mine. Remembered not as a messenger, remembered not as a reformer, not as a prophet, not as a hero…not even as Sebastian. Remembered only…as Jack.

Babylon Quotes: I cannot forgive
The Narn and Centuari are at war...again. :'(
Well in one of the episodes i saw last, Vir Cotto, the assistant to the ambassadar of Centurai, accidentally got into the lift with Narn ambassadar G'Kar. The Cnetuari had attacked the helpless homeplanet of the Narns, killing civilians and hunting down remaining Narns.
Realizing that G'Kar was there, Vir, out of his own will, apologised.
Vir:...I'm sorry...I'm sorry for what's happened. I tried to tell them, but they didn't listen! They never listen....I'm sor...
-The lift stopped and G'Kar walked past him out of the lift, but turned around and pulled out a knife. G'Kar stabbed his own hand and held it out to Vir. As the blood dripped, G'Kar said, as each drop fell,
G'Kar: Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead...dead...Can you apologise to them all?
Vir:......I can't.
G'Kar: Then i cannot forgive.
-And G'Kar walked out.

Bad ending: Narns :'(
WORSE DREAMS COME TRUE ON THE SHOW!
Ok, so in the show there are two races of aliens, the Narns (rep. by Ambassadar G'Kar) and the Centauri, (rep. by Ambassadar Londo Mollari) and both of them had been at war for some time.
From what i heard (repeat, i heard), the Narns were actually slaves to the Centauri till they managed to gain their freedom by force and be independent.
But on today's episode, G'Kar was told by his superior that the Narns still had a chance to beat the Centauri and gain more time to make a comeback at them, for the Centuari were proving stronger and ovethrowing their colonies. G'Kar was told that by destroying a Centauri planet that held their supplies, they would be able to gain more time, and it was worth leaving only minor defences to care for the Narn homeworld for it was meant to be a quick job.
Send the fleet of battleships, blast the planet, go back.
But on the other hand, the Centuari were somehow able to intercept this information, and Mollari was asked by his superiors to 'call in his allies' to the supply planet to take care of the Narns while the rest of their fleet attacked the Narn's lightly guarded homeworld and beat it down entirely, civilians and all.
Mollari's 'allies' were in fact known as the Shadows who were by far much stronger than the Narns and Centuaris alike, the bad guys really, but he didn't know that. All he needed to do was call someone he knew, and it'd be 'taken care of.'
So reluctantly, Mollari agreed.
Having heard something strange going on, Dr. Franklin of Babylon5 informed G'Kar that chances are the Centuari had some kind of plan, and G'Kar figured it out but could not convince his superiors to withdraw from the planned attack.
The attack was carried out, but upon arrival at the planet, all the Narn ships, containing thousands, were destroyed, literally sliced in two by the Shadows.
Meanwhile, the Centuari ships arrived at the Narn homeworld, and without defences, hundreds of thousands of Narn civilians were killed, infastructure were destroyed, supplies were depleted and soon there was not enough medical supplies to help the people.
Although Mollari didn't like it, he coninued to do his job.
G'Kar, knowing all that happened, was then asked by his people to ask for santuary on Babylon5, for they all knew they would not be able to hold out by themselves. Having fought for their freedom by themselves, it was hardest for G'kar to do so, for it meant that once again, they were losing their freedom.
Then the Centuari came up with a treaty of some kind, if they were to spare what was left of Narn.
-For every Centuari killed by a Narn after the war, 500 Narns will be exercuted. Starting with the killer's whole family.
-What was left would be controlled by the Centuari
-Authorities of the Narns were to be relived of their positions and trailed as war criminals
-The Centuari would hold all Narn colonies,
-etc.
During a council meeting, Mollari stated that G'Kar could no longer be an ambassadar of Narn, and would be sent to be trailed as a war criminal as well.
John and Delem were present at the meeting, and objected, for G'Kar had asked for santuary for his people, and could therefore stay on Babylon5 although he was no longer an ambassadar. But the second he left, the Centuari would have him so he cannot leave.
G'Kar accepted this, telling Mollari that eventaully, no matter how long it took, the Narns would be freed once again.
I kind of supported the Narns side of the fight some time ago, and this episode got to me big time.
The Narns are pretty much losing everything again, including their freedom, and once again have to ask help from others.
I bloody hope this doesn't last in the show.

Colourful language
One of my previous post was about Delem when she didn't understand the more colourful words used by humans, at the time it was 'kick in the butt.'
But on today's episode:
*Delem leads John around an underground place inside a planet
John: You know where you're going?
Delem: Of cause i do, i have excellent memory.
John: You sure?
Delem: Ab-solutetly FREGGING DAMMIT!
John: uck-what?
Delem: I've been studying the more colourful language of your race.
Haha, i love the way she said it too.

Bad ending: Talia Winters
Talia Winters was a psychic (telepath) on Babylon5, and this episode i'm mentioning killed her off as a main good-guy character.
Security rescued a ship that appeared and found another telepath, Anita, on board and unconsiousess.
When she woke in medical bay, Franklin tried to ask her what happened but she screamed at him that she didn't trust being alone with anyone on Babylon 5, and she wanted to see the captain. 'One of you is a traitor and i can prove it.' she said.
After the usual talking, etc,she explained to John Sheriden, Susan Ivanova, Dr. Franklin nd Mr Garibaldi that there was someone on the ship who didn't know it, but had another personality inplanted by an organisation know n as Psy-corps, that wanted info about Babylon 5 and left the personality deep in their mind to be awakened when needed. So the person would betray them for Psy-corps because he or she would be taken over by the personality. And once the personality takes over, the person's real one would be lost forever.
Anita had a 'password' she could send from her mind into the mind of others. If the person was the one, they would react to it and the personality would take over.
After sending it to everyone closer to the main authorities on the ship, she couldn't find it.
They were about to stop when Talia Winters entered to see Susan, her friend, and Anita sent the password.
Talia reacted. She screamed and held her hands to her head. Then suddenly she was different. She pulled out a gun and tried to shoot them and Garibaldi managed to disarm her. All along as she was dragged out by security to be put under house arrest, she was screaming at them "We'll find you! You blew my cover! Psycorps will find you, Anita Alexandra!"
The real character was suddenly gone.
Just poof, and no more good-guy telepath. It sucks. I kind of grew on all the characters and all of a sudden one is gone.
Instead the new personality took over.
When Susan, Talia's good friend, went to see her, hoping that somehow the real Talia was in there somewhere and she could tell her it wasn't really her fault because she didn't know she had it all in her head, the new Talia told her how the real Talia was dead. She was gone, and Susan was stupid, incompetent and naive, to have let herself become so close to her.
"You believed evrything she said," Talia said, refering to her old self, "Everything you wanted to hear, i whispered to Talia when she was asleep at night. Like her invisible sister." And ended with, "Goodbye, my dear sweet friend." In a sarcastic and proud tone.
Susan looked slapped, then just said before walking out, "You were right...Talia is dead."
She kind of lost one of her closest friends.
Security rescued a ship that appeared and found another telepath, Anita, on board and unconsiousess.
When she woke in medical bay, Franklin tried to ask her what happened but she screamed at him that she didn't trust being alone with anyone on Babylon 5, and she wanted to see the captain. 'One of you is a traitor and i can prove it.' she said.
After the usual talking, etc,she explained to John Sheriden, Susan Ivanova, Dr. Franklin nd Mr Garibaldi that there was someone on the ship who didn't know it, but had another personality inplanted by an organisation know n as Psy-corps, that wanted info about Babylon 5 and left the personality deep in their mind to be awakened when needed. So the person would betray them for Psy-corps because he or she would be taken over by the personality. And once the personality takes over, the person's real one would be lost forever.
Anita had a 'password' she could send from her mind into the mind of others. If the person was the one, they would react to it and the personality would take over.
After sending it to everyone closer to the main authorities on the ship, she couldn't find it.
They were about to stop when Talia Winters entered to see Susan, her friend, and Anita sent the password.
Talia reacted. She screamed and held her hands to her head. Then suddenly she was different. She pulled out a gun and tried to shoot them and Garibaldi managed to disarm her. All along as she was dragged out by security to be put under house arrest, she was screaming at them "We'll find you! You blew my cover! Psycorps will find you, Anita Alexandra!"
The real character was suddenly gone.
Just poof, and no more good-guy telepath. It sucks. I kind of grew on all the characters and all of a sudden one is gone.
Instead the new personality took over.

Bad ending: Plague
The first bad ending i've seen in Babylon5.
This race of aliens was living on Babylon 5 but all of a sudden they started to die, one after the other. After investigating, Dr Franklin (head physician) found out tht there was a virus about the ship killing only that kind of alien. Turned out the aliens knew all along, but because they were afraid to appear like they had 'upset the gods', they did not mention it. They believed the virus was the result of impureness among their kind and that to stop it, they must pray and repent together.
Ignoring Franklin, who suggested they had to find a cure, a way to slow the spread, and if the virus could affect other races, etc, the alien incharge of the others had them gathered together in a quarantine zone, which the doctor knew would only spread the virus faster. So while all the aliens sealed themselves in that one area, the medical team and the alien leader started trying to find a cure.
Believing that help should be given when needed, Minbaris Delem and Lennier both decided to enter the quarantine zone to help where they could and give the aliens a sense of hope. John Sheriden was pissed of cause. He liked Delem, and letting them into the quarantine zone exposed them to the virus which could kill them if it jump species, and meant that he could not let them out once they entered.
Delem and Lennier didn't care, though they were both saddened by the chance they may not leave. They were dedicated to giving aid, and entered anyway. While there, they went about helping the sick and tried to give them hope and support.
Some time later, when Franklin discovered a cure (by then the alien leader had died as well)that could help slow down the deaths caused by the virus, John, Susan, head of security Garibaldi and himself entered the quarantine zone to administer the cure and save the aliens.
When they entered, they found Delem and Lennier huddled together amongst all the dead aliens, over 5000 of them.
Both Delem and Lennier had watched all of them die of the virus, and both of them were shaken and close to tears. Lenneir helped Delem up and they staggered towards the entrance past all the dead, Lennier leaving first. Seeing John, Delem started crying and held onto him while the rest of them looked on at all the dead aliens, Susan holding the late vaccine in her hands.
Later a news report was shown, telling of how the virus had spread on the alien's homeworld and killed all of them, including those on nearby colonies, etc.
The whole species was wiped out by one virus and the chances there were any of the species left were as good as nothing.

But or Butt?
Another Babylon 5 scene with Delem and John Sheriden. The both of them were in the artificial gardens in the station. (both of them 'like' each other a lot now). Quotes are not exact.
John: Why is it that every time things get organised and peacefull around here...life turns around and gives you a kick in the butt?
Delem: But what?
John: Huh?
Delem: You said: life turns around and gives you a kick, but...?
John: *Realizes she doesn't understand the term.
John: Oh, uh...It's a part of the body...It's a human uh...
Delem: Oh, i see. But as a member of the religious clan, learning the more...colourful details of languages is considered disrespectful.
*Delem looks thoughfull. Then she starts cocking her head to the side left and right and left and exploring the word. Really cute actually, like a child.
Delem: Hmmm. I-Butt. She-Butt. He-Butt...Mother-Butt. Ohh, i don't like the sound of that at all.
John: Uh! No, we don't use it like that...uh...

Minbari Dinner
Haha, thank god we don't live like this:
(Not exact quotes)
Minbari Ambassadar, Delem: I thought it was only appropriate to introduce to you the Minbari custom of meals, considering you shared your culture of your human dinners with me the other day. Lennier spent two days preparing all this.
John Sherriden: Two days? It took him two days?
Delem: Why, yes.
Lennier (Delem's assistent): There are certain rituals that are to be done whilst preparing the meal. There are things that must be said while doing so as well. The spices for example, must first be blessed. And each spice can only be used once, and in the correct order or the whole thing must be discarded.
Delem: If any mistake were made, Lennier would have had to start all over again.
John: Two days huh? So when did you sleep, Lennier?
Delem: He didn't. It may have led to mistakes. To prepare this meal, Lennier sustained himself with water, and bread.
John: Oh...Uh, well. It all looks great. Shall we begin?
Delem: Yes, of cause.
John: *reaches for food
Delem: Oh! Uh, captain, as there are rituals involved in preparing the meal, there are also rituals that must be done in the process of eating.
John: Oh. So what do i do?
Delem: First, we must set aside a portion of the food for the one who prepared it. As a sign of thankfullness.
John:Ok.
*They set aside a bit for Lennier.
Lennier: Thank you.
John: Ok. *Reaches for food
Delem: Uh, captian! Then we must set aside some *forgot spelling* for the absent forth party.
*Places a part of her food at the empty side of the table. Bows slightly.
John: Oh, so the...which one? This?
Lennier: Yes.
*Places some food on the plate on the empty side.
John: Yes. Done.
*Waits
John: Anything else?
Delem: No. We may eat now.
*John reaches with scapel like 'fork' into his bowl-
Delem: With the right hand, captain.
John: Oh. *Switches hand.
*They both eat a piece of something from their bowl.
John: That's great. Great job, Lennier. *Reaches for another.
Delem: Oh captain. We must stop between each piece to meditate.
*Delem and Lennier put down their 'forks' and close their eyes. John stares at them. Sighs, and copies them.
-Half an hour later.
Delem: Lennier, is he?
*John snores.
*Lennier taps him
Lennier: Sheriden?
*Sheriden wakes up.
Delem: Captain, i do believe you were alseep.
John: Huh? Uh, no. No, i was meditating!
Lenier: And...that is the sound humans make when they meditate?
John:...I do not snore.
Haha. Imagine eating one piece of food and meditating for half an hour before eating another. No wonder there aren't any fat Minbari. :)

Bear-Bylon 5
Couldn't resist this random Babylon 5 post.
Babylon 5 was a space station where aliens of different races and humans could work out disputes and stuff. So out of no where, the captain recieves a message from his superiors on Earth that there was going to be a giftshop opened on the station to bring in some extra money (credits), which annoyed both the captain (John Sheriden) and the ship's commander (Susan Ivanova) because that meant a lot of people and things that were going to be sold as figures, etc, would be like a mockery to the things that really did exist on the station.
Skipping to the end, Susan accepted the idea of the gift shop and got herself a soft toy bear. Halfway down a corridor she met John and showed him the bear:
*Not exactly quoting
John: Ivanova, i guess this giftshop thing isn't so bad after all. We could use the few extra credits.
-notices the bear.
Susan: Look at this.
-passes the bear.
John: Well, he's a cutie isn't he? Haha,
-noticed words on the back of bear's shirt
John: Bear-bylon 5? Haha, that's a good one.
-Turns it around to the front. Frowns at shirt printing of 'J.S'
John: J.S?
Susan: Uh huh. J.S. John Sheriden.
John:Oh, wait. This is supposed to be me? Oh...heh heh...uh...
-smiles slighltly only, scrutinizes bear.
-Looks pissed off and pushed the bear back at Susan.
John: Commander i want this thing off my ship. And tell that gift shop that i want them packed up and ready to leave by 0800. Got it?
Susan: Yes, sir.
-John turns to go. Turns back. Gives Susan a look like he doesn't trust her. Gives evil stare at the bear. Takes the bear back and walks away.
*Later.
Pilot on patrol in his ship flying a distance from the station in space.
Pilot: Negative Babylon control, there's no sign of anything out of the oridnary out here. All clear from my-
-Something hits his cockpit screen.
-He sees a soft toy bear with a white J.S/Bear-Bylon 5 shirt slide off his cockpit glass and off into space, spinning.
Babylon control: Pilot, report?
Pilot: *smiles. Heh heh, negative, Babylon control. Nothing. I'm returning to the station.
The bear got thrown into space, lol!! :)

Minbari Ambassador, Delem
Seriously random post. Well i don't think i can find anyone else who is around my age who likes Babylon 5, but what the heck. I like older Sci-Fis. Just thinking of the last episode i saw when the Minbari ambassador, Delem, had trouble with her human hair, lol. It was like an afro gone seriously wrong and she was frustrated and pissed cause she didn't realize the chemicals her people used to bath in that sheds away the top layer of skin couldn't be used on her hair.
When she was pissed, she really looked pissed, but when she is feeling alright in the show, her smile beats the Mona Lisa's big time, haha. Couldnt stop thinking about it.
Then there was a part after she got the Lt.Commander to help her out, and when her assistant,Lennier saw her with all the styling clamps on her hair, he was like, 'Does it hurt?'
Haha, the Minbari are all naturally bald with a crest around the side to the back of their heads. Delem was a special case cause she changed her own biological structure to be part human, lol.
Just been getting high on Babylon 5. I think Delem, Lennier, Londo and Garabaldi-ah heck, i love all of them. Kinda miss Sinclair at the moment though...
