Babylon 5


"The future is endless, timeless, beyond our comprehension.
Yet we always strive to see it, for we are lost without it."
                              --Valar Bel'Solare


"They came at us out of nowhere. We never had a chance. The sky was full of stars and every star an exploding ship -- one of ours."
--Sinclair about the Line











"Protests are as much useful with the Vorlons as fairie-wings on a cement-truck."
--Garibaldi to Colonel Ari Ben Zayn











"A Vorlon said understanding is a three-edged sword: your side, their side .. and the truth. The truth is we don't need you anymore."
--Sheridan to 'Vorlons'











"If I can't make it, you'll have to blow up that ship before it hits."
"Why not destroy it now?"
"First contact protocol, Lieutenant Commander. Only when conditions present a clear and present danger. If this is a new technology, a new race, I want that ship intact."
"This *isn't* a clear and present danger? I must read the rulebook again."
--Sinclair and Ivanova







"Fools to the left of me, feeders to the right. I need to find a *real* job."
--Londo











"Nothing's the same anymore."
--Sinclair











"The Babylon project was our last best hope for peace. A self-contained world five miles long, located in neutral territory. A place of commerce and diplomacy for a quarter of a million humans and aliens. A shining beacon in space, all alone in the night. It was the dawn of the third age of mankind, the year the great war came upon us all. This is the story of the last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2259, the name of the place is Babylon 5."
--Captain John Sheridan








"The Babylon project was our last, best hope for peace. .. It failed... But in the year of the Shadow war it became something greater: our last, best hope .. for victory. The year is 2260, the place: Babylon 5."
--Commander Ivanova









"It was the Dawn of the Third Age of Mankind, ten years after the Earth-Minbari War. The Babylon Project was a dream given form. Its goal: to prevent another war by creating a place where humans and aliens could work out their differences peacefully. It's a port of call, home away from home for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs and wanderers. Humans and aliens wrapped in two million, five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal, all alone in the night. It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last, best hope for peace. This is the story of the last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2258. The name of the place is Babylon 5."
--Commander Sinclair








"It was the year of fire, the year of destruction, the year we took back what was ours. It was the year of rebirth, the year of great sadness, the year of pain, and the year of joy. It was a new age. It was the end of history. It was the year everything changed. The year is 2261; the place: Babylon 5."
--The Main Cast









"We've had plenty of experience with sneak attacks. Pearl Harbor, the terrorists' nuking of San Diego, the destruction of our first Mars colony. It's a long and bloody history. Do you know what we learned from it? That a sneak attack is the first resort of a coward."
--Sinclair to G'Kar










"Do you not have files on the Vorlons?"
"Absolutely. Very large files. There's nothing in them, of course."
--Delenn and Sinclair










"It's what we suspected all along, but could never prove. Vorlons use organic technology. It's a living ship. Conscious, aware."
--Sheridan











"You've got a plan?"
"Try not to get killed."
"Brilliant."
--Ivanova and Sheridan









"The truth? You are not ready for the truth. The facts? If that's the only way to get to my work. Yes, the Vorlons have been to Earth. The Vorlons have been everywhere. The Vorlons are."
--Sebastian to Sheridan
