I don't think I've come across another human being... besides my family-- correction, my dad and his brothers and my grandpa, that have even heard of Babylon 5 before I asked them about it. XD Its a sci-fi show from the 90's that is one of my favs :D And one of my fav characters, if not my favorite character is Susan Ivanova XD She's probably the closest one to my personality and she gets the hilarious lines XD Or she's like a back board for someone else's hilarious line XD
For example, just in this episode, Season 3, episode 3, two of my favorite lines happened. One was earlier in the ep when Ivanova said something like "Trying to look for the good in every situation Captain?" and Sheridan was all "Yes... otherwise I'd be like you." XD XD And then she was all "What?? Did anyone hear that?" That scene is so funny to me XD And then at the end after the drama in the ep happens she says "If I happen to live through this without completely losing my mind, it will be a miracle of Biblical proportions." XD And then Lt. Corwin says "Well, there goes my faith in the Almighty." XD XD XD Omg, I had to replay that a couple times XD It might not be funny just reading it, but after you've spent, well years, with these characters, stuff like that is just super hilarious! XD
There are sooooo many other lines that I find just hilarious! And they come from all of the characters. And there are a lot of heartwarming moments too, and I find that this show is pretty well rounded, and even though some things are cheesy cause its from the 90's I think its one of the show that have stood the test of... at least the last 20 years. Its not perfect, and as I'm older and more... well more religious and looking for positive displays of faith in what I consume media wise, I'm finding more flaws in it than since I last watched it, but there are other things that I find more meaningful too. The thing I probably like the least about it... is that most of the characters are not Christian (just as I'm writing this part, a part with some Christian monks comes up XD) and so they don't always reason certain situations or say things in the way that I would... most agree with. But overall, I can't say that the characters have made the wrong decisions. They may not have a solid Christian backing to what they say, but their actions are at least commendable and better than some people who say they are yet lack action. The thing I like most about this series, mind you, I'm only half way through rewatching it, is the many characters. There are many types of species and races and ideas and stuff represented that it just makes it a very interesting and engaging show. It also deals with... challenges that are similar to that of things going on now, and maybe things that will actually go on in the future. One thing I've found to like about sci-fi shows is that they often bring lots of social commentary and warnings about the future, based on the past, if things should happen, and also if they should not happen. But since its usually with aliens and stuff, it becomes a sort of allegory, one to where you almost don't notice it until it hits you that your world and that of the show are similar to many degrees. By the way, if I seem like I'm typing in a more fancy way, I watched Pride and Prejudice earlier XD It takes a good day for the fancy talk to wear off XP
So overall, if you have not seen Babyon 5, I recommend it :) Its a good 20 years old, and some things, especially the graphics are super cheesy, but it has great characters that never age and story lines that are relateable and relevant. And... I won't spoil it, but there are cute love stories too ^_^ Well, one main one XD It doesn't take long to figure out who, but they really are a great couple throughout the series :)
Anyway, just wanted to write this. Toodles for now and God Bless!
