Babylon 5 Geekery
My brother recently posted a picture of the cast of Babylon 5 to facebook and set about tagging people he knew in it. Therefore, he got Londo and I got G'kar.
This prompted me to put up the picture of them all fingering the camera, and do the same. The following is the conversation which took place in the comments (edited slightly to cut out the dull bits about space heaters):
Nefret (myself): Londo is always cool. Did you see the episode with the Londo action figures? That's still one the most hilarious moments of the show... It cracks me up.
MageFire (my brother): YEAH, that part was funny, with the teddy bear at the end that got spaced? XD
Nefret: Oh! And Franklin/Marcus as the married couple was hilarious. Oh, Marcus, darling, I love you...
Yeah, it was the one with the teddybear. You know what would have been REALLY funny though? Delenn action figures. Sheridan would have had a bird... ROTFL.
MageFire: I KNOW, Franklin was like *NO* hahaha
He would've probably gone on a killing rampage/bought out the stock XD
Nefret: Franklin's always like *NO*.
"You can't perform strange medical procedures on my son, it goes against our beliefs!"
"NO!"
"You need to take a day off every once in a while."
"NO!"
"You can't take any more drugs or you'll get hooked."
"NO!"
"Why don't you come back to work instead of wandering around searching for yourself?"
"NO!"
*headdesk*
LOLOLOL CAN YOU IMAGINE SHERIDAN WITH A COLLECTION OF LITTLE DELENNS IN HIS QUARTERS?! He'd like keep them on a shelf and dust them once a day to keep them in "pristine condition". I bet you he talks to them at night, and sleeps with his favourite one under his pillow.
Delenn: I really wish you'd get rid of those ... things.
Sheridan: I think they're cute! *giant SUPER WHITE SMILE OF DOOM*
Delenn: They're action figures of me.
Sheridan: Yeah! They're cute!
Delenn: *headdesk*
MageFire: LOL, he probably put them beside his bed for the 3 night ritual thing! hahaha, I could see the writers doing this.... Imagine if someone bought one, he would like hunt them down!
more like:
Delenn: I think you should get rid of those.
Sheridan: why?
Delenn: Because you wouldn't want to have to be alone for the next week at night.
Sheridan: Ok, I'll get rid of them...
Delenn: We have a ritual for throwing things out, you will have to do the ritual for every one of them.
Sheridan: *looks at all 50 of them* "uh oh...."
Nefret:Sheridan: *nervously* Who are they? *gestures over his shoulder at the large group of Minbari who are staring at him*
Delenn: They are here for the ritual. They are observing our removal of the material items we wish to discard.
Sheridan: But they're staring at me....
Delenn: John. This is important to me.
Sheridan: *scowl*
Delenn: Good. Now lift the first object, and examine it. Meditate on its substance and value. Decide why it is no longer need it, and thank it for what it has done for your life. Send it to the trash with your blessing, allowing it to pass from your hands in peace. Cast off the material, and embrace Minbari nonsense.
Sheridan: *snore*
Delenn: John? John...? Are you listening?
Sheridan: *snore**mumblemumble* WOOHOO! *snore*
Lennier: *snigger*
MageFire:Crowd of Minbari: *gasp!*
Delenn: *smaks John*
Lennier: *smiles*
Sheridan: I thank--
*4 hours later*
Sheridan: Finally done!
Delenn: now that you have done all of this, we must pray that we never do this again.
Sheridan: BUT--
Delenn: John, 47 rituals aren't gonna perform themselves....
Lennier: *thinking: what a load of nonsense, theres only 4!*
Delenn: we must prepare for number 5.
Nefret:As the script writers begin to run out of ideas, the rituals get more and more outlandish...
Delenn: And now we must stand on our heads for two hours and contemplate the meaning to the universe!
Everyone: *headdesk*
MageFire: lol!
I wonder if someone would telecast these rituals on the voice of truth...hmmm XD
Nefret: LOL.
"Today, on the voice of truth, we take a more in-depth look at Minbari courting rituals."
"WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO!"
"Err... More on that later..."
MageFire: Lennier was so awesome in the elevator
"woo-hoo" LOL
Ivanova takes revenge LOL
hahaha, Imagine if she used G'kar's eye to watch them and record it for everyone to see XD
Nefret: "Honey... There's an eyeball on the dresser."
"WHAT?!"
MageFire: "look, an eye!"
"if you wanted to record it, all you had to do was ask!"
"no John, it wasn't me!"
Nefret: Vir: That's disgusting.
G'Kar: I consider it penance for having my cut out in the first place. The least I should be allowed to do is have a little fun with it.
Vir: You are invading their privacy!
Londo: Oh, shut up Vir. I'm trying to watch...
G'Kar: *passes the popcorn*
10 times better than the latest Martian soap opera.
MageFire: *THE NEXT DAY*
Sheridan: Hello Londo, please sit down.
Londo: may I ask why I was brought here?
Sheridan: Last night I saw you running around carrying a poster of me and Delenn doing are late night yoga.
Londo: ahh yes, and here's 15% of the earnings I got from selling those pictures, yes?
Sheridan: DAMNIT Londo, selling pictures!?!? What will Delenn think!
Londo: I think she would be quite pissed if you didn't take the 15% of what I earned.
Sheridan: MAKE IT 20%!
Londo: Deal.
*later*
Sheridan: Hey honney, I got us some money!
Delenn: I saw some pictures... EXPLAIN
Sheridan: I SWEAR, I didn't know!
Delenn: you took MONEY!?!?
Nefret: *ROTFLSPORFLELOL* YOGA?!
"Okay, now stay there..."
"What are you doing?"
"It's yoga, dear. Hold still."
"Are you sure th--- WOOO HOO."
Lennier: GIVE IT A REST, WOULD YOU?!
--
MageFire: lol, poor Lennier, "you might get hurt, maybe we should send Lennier" LOL
Nefret: "Don't touch that Delenn! You might get a papercut! Make Lennier do it!"
"Don't stand near that! It's hot! You might get burned! Lennier can do it."
"Don't answer the door! It might be a mad axeman! Get Lennier to do it."
Lennier: *kills him ded with his pinky finger*
MageFire: Lennier with his crazy Karate skills LOL, remember when they went to those weird things last episode, and while Delenn was talking to that guy who was always blury, he was standing in the background doing the hand thing XD
(Editor's Note: He's referring to the Drakh in "Lines of Communication")
Nefret: I KNOW! He's like standing behind the console holding his pinky out. It was hilarious. He's like "must... do... something... heroic..."
Oh, Lennier.
MageFire: Lennier's evil plot to kill Sheridan and take Delenn LOL!
Nefret: Lennier: YOU ARE MINE NOW, MY PRETTY! AHAHA! AHAHAHAHA!
Delenn: Joooooooooohhhhhnnnn!
Delenn eventually developed Stockholm syndrome, and married Lennier. Lennier worked undercover for the BDA and was arrested in the great flouride bust of 2082.
Sheridan lived out the rest of his days in his shrine of mini-Delenns, who he spoke to every day.
And Marcus was awesome.
The End.
MageFire: poor poor Garibaldi spent the rest of his days trying to read hippie t-shirts in hope of getting instructions.
Nefret: "Flower.. Power... I'VE GOT IT! DAISY CHAINS ARE THE SECRET OF THE UNIVERSE!"
Stephen eventually met himself again, but they decided to go their separate ways. The split was amicable, until Stephen decided he wanted to keep the dog, and Stephen couldn't allow that. The resulting custody battle lasted ten years and caused Stephen (both of them) to go broke.
MageFire: Zack would end up as chief of security, only to end his reign with the words "what's this button do?" the spinoff show AFTER he blew up B5. "Babylon 6" never got off the ground, ending the series for good.
Nefret: Londo married Vir.
*brains asplodes*
K. Maybe not.
MageFire: G'kar and Londo ran for president, but sadly couldn't agree on who gets to be on the sign. XD
Nefret: Vir launched a successful career as a best-selling author of women's etiquette books, including the Smarties Award Winner "Which Fork? A Comprehensive Guide To Place Settings and Table Manners". He later founded a charity knitting-club that raised millions for breast cancer research.
MageFire: Bester (ugh) later grew up to write a book on how to act evil, and he was later regarded to be known as the most evil character ever. This was then followed by his thrilling sequel, "A Guide to be a Traitor", only his editor read it TOO well, and back stabbed him and claimed all credit for the book.
Nefret: Kosh became an internationally famous rock star, with his hit song "The Avalanche Has Started; It Is Too Late For The Pebbles To Vote", regarded as one of the world's most "deep" songs. His concerts were continually sold out, and were generally full of young women who would fling panties with their name and phone number on them at him while he was on stage.
Considered highly influential, Kosh instigated a movement in rock music that promoted incomprehensible and deliberately vague lyrics backed by very little music.
Kosh performed a duet with Madonna, "Like a Vorlon".
MageFire: President Clark went down in history as the worst president. He would try to reclaim his reputation by saving the world against an alien invasion, but to his misfortune he accidently pulled the GREEN wire instead of the red one, he went down in history as the first man to accidently kill 30,000 people.
END.
