Not Funny!
No hiding place
Trainee
in Babylon 5
Though I can't deny that Babylon 5 is the best written show ever made you have to admit that it has one major fault...................
It just wasn't funny! Many of the humerous moments are excrutiating to watch, and often ruin the episode that they are in!
For example, I was watching a season 3 episode today- the one where Delenn and a Minbari captain are kidnapped by Nightwatch members (the name escapes me) and what they go and do! They put in this bit about a forgotten computer personality that plauges Garibaldi- that completely offsets the mood of the piece.
Are there any other gripes (as well as the whole of the 5th series) that anyone has?
Sorry if i've offended anyone............... :robot:

But i'll admit, B5 did lack some sophisticated humor, although it was present.
That was pain
My favorites generaly involve Londo or G'Kar, especially Londo.

But ya know what? That's just like real life. The fact that characters didn't deliver every line with Shakespearean precision is one of the things I liked about the show.
the "zip then fasten or fasten then zip?" dialogue.
--------
"I think I'll stick my head in the station's fusion reactor. It would be quicker, and, I suspect, after a while I might even come to enjoy it. But this . . . this, this is like being nibbled to death by ahhh . . . what are those Earth creatures called: feathers, long bills, webbed feet, go 'quack'?"
"Cats."
"Cats. I'm being nibbled to death by cats."
------------
"There's no alcohol in here, is there?"
"Alcohol? No, of course not. Here, drink up."
"Because my people do not react well at all to alcohol. Even a small quantity causes psychotic impulses and violent, homicidal rages."
"Ahhhhhh . . . alcohol? My mistake. Miss Hammer? Just water for him, thank you."
-------------
"You don't frighten easily."
"I work for Ambassador Mollari. After a while, nothing bothers you."
do I even need to say it ?
it must be one of the most zen and funny bits of dialogue Ive seen in Sci-fi...

"Woo-hoo?"
:D
For some reason, his and Ivanova's exchange at the end of Exogenesis always cracks me up...

Yes, 'twas excellent!
"Well, If you're going to have delusions you might as well make them the really satisfying ones."
"Purple."
"Green."
----------------------
"Sometimes I feel as if my eye itches. How can it itch if its no longer there!?"
----------------------
Though the one that takes the cake for me, is when you see G'Kar's artificial eye on the table by Sheridan and Delenn's wedding bed.
"Next time, my way!"

Also, that bit where Garabaldi tried to hack the computer and end up screwing up his door was a riot! :D

They didn't steal her food.
Sinclair and Garibaldi replaced their own plates of food with empty plates, so when they woke Ivanova up, she would think she slept through dinner.
[B]I actually enjoyed alot of the humor thrown in. Particularly Ivanova's "sex" with the Lumanti ambassador. :D[/b][/quote]
I like what the Lumanti ambassador said afterwards: "I'll call you."

I'm fairly sure it was breakfast.
Garibaldi: *pricked by Franklin* Ow! Hey, you were his teacher. What did he get in first aid?
Franklin: 4.0.
Jacobs: 3.7.
Garibaldi: *pricked by Franklin again* Ow!
i think it was in babylon squared
G'Kar: [SIZE=1]I hear you *Giggles*[/SIZE]
and the Not many fishies...left in the sea...not many fishies, just londo and me...
LMAO!
