Babylon 5: Minbari gets a laugh

[mywalkbyfaith]

Marcus and Neroon could have been friends, given a bit more time and interaction... Sad that Neroon had to die.

[Jokie155]

I can't stop laughing at the irony of the title and the thumbnail...

[brownblair98]

Apparently not all Minbari share the same sense of humor....

[OneTrueEdge]

I love it.

[PhoenixPlaneswalker]

Neroon is cool!

[Swordsman808]

LOL! Delenn and Lennier can only imagine what Marcus said or did to convince Neroon not to kill him!

[ccolimon]

You ought not speak to Jesus whe you have a bone-thing on your head.

[Web1234512345]

For laughs, try turning on Transcribe Audio

[djtrunksta]

@Web1234512345 HILARIOUS.

[Arylwren1]

We are the Rangers.

We walk in the dark places few will enter,

we stand at the bridge and no one will cross,

we do not run from battle, no matter the cost

we live for the one

we die for the one

[MrFreedomification]

@Arylwren1 Yeah but "which one" he he?

[williamskidfears]

@Arylwren1 And, that's exactly what Marcus ended up doing, dying for the One....

[MorganScorpion]

MMMM Neroon! His voice makes me melt.

[AmericanPoliceState]

We live for the One, We die for the One. Entil'Zha Veni, In Valen's name!

[msanniemc]

Neroon's voice always cracks me up for some reason.

[Shadowstrom]

marcus has to be my favourite character from the whole since he has some of the best lines ever

[Bajamamut]

Simply put, Straczinsky is a genious ^_^

[truellaksala]

This guy gives some KILLER lines! love it!!

[Progressive75]

"He will not hear you."

"Then I will speak briefly."

I just love that exchange.

[smcneal057]

Has anyone noticed the Minbari Warriors armor looks like Samurai armor?

[msanniemc]

Seems like the Minbari were inspired by the Japanese in a lot of ways.

[divitius]

@smcneal057 Their bald heads and headbones also look a lot like the samurai haircut. I don't think the resemblance is accidental.

[Ltdeacon]

isn't it lennier understood, for himself what kosh taught g'kar that if all are to be save some must be harmed.

[ArchibaldClumpy]

Great episode.

[Stile4aly]

Actually, the episode (Grey 17 is Missing) was kind of crap. This part of it redeemed the whole.

[gribae]

JMS also said himself that he wasn't particularly fond of 'Grey 17 Is Missing.' and that it was only done to fill the episode quota for the series

[Bfdidc]

I agree that Grey 17 was an over all weak episode, though the Minbari stuff was more interesting than the Garibaldi parts. I definitely liked John Vickery's characterization of Neroon. He also played the oily Mr Welles at the end of the second season and, apparently, originated the role of Scar in The Lion King.

[toddsmitts]

Neroon was was of the best characters on the show. They should have had him on more and they NEVER should have killed him off!

[larsedvartl]

It really was disappointing that the Neroon-character was killed in "The Wheel of Fire". But the "great maker", as JMS is often called by B5 fans, had other plans.

[toddsmitts]

It would have been great if Neroon became the new B5 ambassador at the end of the show the way Vir and Ta'Lon did (I could totally see him in that long shot).

[williamskidfears]

@larsedvartl But, it had to end that way. Neroon was the only one other than DeLenn who could make that sacrfice and reunite his people. Also, that sacrifice and his declaring for the religious caste balanced the transformation of his mentor Brynner, from priest to head of the warrior caste, and the sacrifice of his life for his people's.

[DrJReefer]

@toddsmitts Characters like Neroon are designed to die a noble death. It's what all the best knights do.

[uberlutra]

This is the scene that really drew me to Neroon's character. I was sad they didn't do more with him.

[williamskidfears]

@uberlutra Really? He was in every season but the fifth, and his character was just as instrumental to the arc as either Sheridan or DeLenn. Moreover, his entire story dealt with the theme of balance and transformation: his transformation at the end to balance Brynner's, his caste healing the social divide the religious caste caused(or at least exacerbated), his bringing about a new Grey Council to replace the one DeLenn had broken, etc.

[gregxiu]

"He will not hear you"

"Then I will speak briefly"

I wanted to see more of Neroon's character in this show, he had sort of a dark(not evil) mystique about him.

[williamskidfears]

@gregxiu I don't think of Neroon as a dark character at all. What he was was an equal and opposite of DeLenn, just as Londo was Sheridan's equal and opposite.

[StarshipMaxima]

One of the best and most hilarious scene in on of sci-fi's best series. Marcus still had that dry British wit even on death's door.

But I caught that line, "Maybe we are not of the same blood, but we ARE of the same heart"...Oh, if only Sinclair could've walked in at that moment and said, "Well actually about the same blood......."

[hoppermantis]

Marcus brought a lot of emotion to the show.

[thrawn323]

the next time you want a revalation could you posibly find a way that isn't quite so uncomfortable?

[c00lizz]

@thrawn323 He didn't take that advice. :(

[williamskidfears]

@c00lizz I don't know. I imagine the Starfire Wheel only hurt for a second or two, before it fried him.

[Trek001]

I will speak to him

He will not hear you

Then i will speak quickly

[Jerlana]

I had tears streaming down my cheeks I was laughing so hard when I first saw it. I still get shiny-eyed when I see it.

[PriPat129]

Man that guy is hilarous lol every scene he is in

[peskylisa]

Even in pain, Marcus Cole maintains his composure and wry wit.

[MrRobertSama]

Ahhhh tis the British way, stiff upper lip and all that, lol.
