Babylon 5 - 4.08 'The Illusion of Truth': Ivanova + Sheridan

[starflame34]

lol, I love this show!

[simplystreeptacular]

Ahahaha, I love these two together. One of the best friendships of the show.

[TheJboy88]

I just love the chemistry these characters had between each other by this point.

[tvdrulez]

this just so funny.

0:16 - 1:33 is just so funny.

sheridan: we have an open door policy.

ivanova: and an open air lock policy.

[ertyqwer]

This show kicked some royal ass

[HisDivineShadow245]

I see reporters are assholes even in the future. :D

[msanniemc]

Always loved the dynamic between these two (cheery optimist Sheridan, badass cynic Ivanova.). It's nice to see a strong male/female platonic relationship, as friends and colleagues. Most shows would have cocked this up with sexual tension.

[mnpopeye]

Right ON!

[detpackman]

it seems all great scifi shows have that blend of humor ,with the seriousness of the show it self.

b5 had this , sg1 had this.both great scifi shows that had long life spans . there are plenty of examples of others as well .

[gribae]

Without the blend, then the shows would not be memorable or even half as good, quineg?

[LaylaConn]

I fucking LOVE Ivanova!

0:16 - 1:33 is my favorite part! Ivanova is God and Babylon 5 ROCKS!!! :D

[smcneal057]

This is what I love about B5. It never took itself too seriously and all the characters got good one liners.

[Finsirith]

Did anyone else almost hear "Dan Rather" when Dan Randal introduced himself?

[CaptJJYossarian]

@Finsirith

Yes, and JMS stated on lurker's guide that he did pull scene's from the JFK - LBJ transition when covering Clarks earth gov coup. Last ep of season 1 I think... Chrysalis.

In general, there's no shortage of history repeating itself in B5.

[EvolutionStratus]

Sheridan: Commander, did you threaten to throw this man by the collar out of an airlock?

Ivanova: Yes I did.

Sheridan: I'm SHOCKED! Shocked and dismayed. Need I remind you we're short and supplies here. We CAN'T afford to take perfectly good clothing and throw it into space! Always take the jacket off first. I told you that before. Sorry she meant to say stripped naked, then thrown out and airlock. I'm sorry for whatever confusion this might of caused.

ROFL John 'Nuke'em' Sheridan Rocks!\m

[TheShrek68]

@EvolutionStratus ROTFLOLING :)

[tornadoe13]

@EvolutionStratus

people who have watched the clip don't need a line by line miniscript to read afterwards

[Azakhiel]

@EvolutionStratus If you're going to provide a transcript for the deaf and hard of hearing, at least make it accurate.

[Ayumi85]

I love it! thanks! those two were so funny!

[Lonovavir]

B5 had great humor. I miss it for that alone.

Sheridan: There's something far worse than the Shadows........... reporters. How true.

[trekyzoom]

Sheridan: We have a open door policy.

Ivanova: And the open air lock policy...

Ha ha ha, it's fantastic realy, and they get point about reporters to.

[FlashDashAndAway]

and an open air lock policy

[FlashDashAndAway]

good ole jms

[Canaris3]

this is the way you supossed to talk with reporters ;p ;p ;p

[thrawn323]

Comander did you threten to throw this man out an airlock? I'm Schocked and dismayed.I'd Remind you we are short on suplies here we can't afford to take perfectly good clothing and throw it out into space.Always take the jacket off first i toold you that before. I'm sorry she mant to say striped naked and thrown out an airlock i'm sorry for any confusion this may have caused. Clasic.

[jeffman52001]

Cpt. John Sheridan and Commander Susan Ivonova are funny in this scene,,lol. Love how they give the ISN reporter a hard time. Love the "open airlock policy",,lol. Since ISN became a propaganda machine for President Clark, I see why Sheridan and Ivonova gave him a hard time.

[girlgarde]

@jeffman52001 Yeah, lackeys of dictators don't get an easy time when dealing with the crew of Babylon 5!

[linksgehen]

Love it!!

[Lynnianaa]

Lol, this is gold.

[PhilosopherSocrates]

I love those two! Their friendship was perfect! They had chemistry as a comedic duo.

I'm glad the writers didn't try to go all soap opera with this show. Otherwise you wouldn't have a man and a woman being good friends without tension.

[tanpopo03]

Ivanova is god ^^

[LkeVelvet]

tag-team gods - they work perfectly together!

[arwynt]

LOLOL! classic!
