Babylon 5 Stuffed Animals

deviantART user Babylon 5 Club made these Centauri and Earth Force stuffed animals. Cute!

I watched about a twenty episodes of Babylon 5 when it aired -- enough to know that I was missing something pretty awesome. So in the past couple months, I watched the entire run of the show, the movies, and a few episodes of the awful spin-off show Crusade.

It was as good as I remembered. Some of it is creepy-cultish (e.g. "We live for the one, we die for the one."), but it is a rousing adventure and an intricate story arc, well-executed.

Have you watched Babylon 5? What did you think of it?

My Favorite Babylon 5 Character

My favorite character from Babylon 5 is Vir Cotto, played by Stephen Furst. He serves as comedy relief -- an awkward, clownish character out of his depth in interstellar politics. But Vir is utterly incorruptible. Although other, more cunning people, such as Londo Mollari and G'Kar, succumb to temptation, Vir refuses to make any moral compromises, ever. From the beginning, he correctly identifies the mysterious Morden as an agent of great evil and repeatedly warns Londo that his alliances of necessity will doom him and the Centauri Republic. And during the occupation of Narn, Vir risks his life to create phony documents that help 2,000 Narns escape the Centauri genocide.

Here is Vir in In the Shadow of Z'ha'dum, not just resisting temptation, but stomping it flat:


Later in the series, he got what he wanted:
