Babylon 5 - "Who are you?"

[kitchenaut]

I like these one on one episodes. The one with Sheridan and the interrogator is good.

[BRACOGAVRAN]

mira furlan is the best

[Wolfen443]

Great question, difficult or easy answer is your choice really.

[smcneal057]

He makes a good point in the end. How can one be expected to represent others with no idea who they are? That is what I love about B5 it asked the hard questions.

[zivjax]

I am.

[curlybobz]

This guy was really good. Why didnt they ever bring him back ?

[minski76]

actually when he left B5 he implied that now that he found someone worthy of the task ahead, the Vorlons probably considered his services obsolete... ands he seemes reliefed to be able to die after 500 years. The actor Wayne Alexander did come back though... as Lorien, as Drakh, Drazi and Narn

[ultravioletfears]

add a comment...

[awakenedSandman0]

the message is more important

[Evraeboko]

is this the same actor who plays Lorien? he sounds and looks the same..

[Demerzela]

yes, He is:)

[minski76]

wayne alexander - yes, he was lorien... and the drakh on centauri prime, the drazi ambassador and a narn... very busy man on B5

[chicagowhitesox1917]

it is Jack The Ripper!!!

[HarperInTheMist]

One of my favorite episodes, but this would have been better if it included Delenn's answer... thanks for posting. :)

"All the world is a stage"

"Do you really want to be another face in the masquerade?"

[thrawn323]

reminds me of what loreien said wich came first launguage or the thought behind it?

[doctorw2]

wow this was very deep excellent sci fi.

[glomofnit]

I went through something quite similar. The answer to "who are you?" is/was "I am."

[gribae]

Simply put, no extravagent answer is required, if you think logically about the question.

"Who are you?"

"I am me." Tells someone a lot about you, without wasting words.

[arwynt]

Yes, but in this case, "I am me" was not enough for the Inquisitor. He was pushing and pushing in order to make Delenn and Sheridan really see themselves, their souls.

[eahaddix]

Q: Who are you?

A: There is no who, per se. Who I am is what I am, otherwise the who without the what is nothing.

LOL--perhaps this is why Doctor Who does not need a name . . .

[Torlek363]

wrong. You do not understand.

[dchris1990]

@arwynt but maybe saying 'i am me' is the simplistic answer that actually carries all that we can know of ourselves.... ?

[bluntman1138]

@dchris1990 That isnt the answer that Jack or the Vorlons are wanting though. The whole point of the question "Who are you" is to draw out your true self. What you believe you are here in the universe to do. The "who" is rhetorical.

[nesteph]

@gribae no i am me would never work, is doesn't answer the question. who is me how do you define me and how does me lead to what i want, why am here and where i am going.

[barak219]

what was the answer in the end?

[arwynt]

There was no answer, not really. It's all about what the ancient Greeks called "know yourself", know who you are, because otherwise your ways and actions may not be the right or correct ones.

[nesteph]

there are four big questions; who are you, what do you want, why are you here and where are you going.

[JMSadmirer]

I would say the answer would be "I am the one"

[QuasiEvilScott]

He would have you killed.

My answer would have been: "I am a collection of my perceptions, faults, theories, hopes, dreams - and the culmination of all those placed upon me by others. I am only who I can be. I am only who I am."

-Qes

[arwynt]

Very good answer! ;)

[QuasiEvilScott]

Thanks. Can you smell the philosophical training? I know it has an odor.

[brav0wing]

Who are you? The truest of the most important question that every man and woman should ask her/himself!

[Michael574]

and a question that cannot be answered in words. You sort of know who you are, but you cannot express it in any words.

[brav0wing]

If you know who you are, that is!

[nesteph]

really, then who are you? what do you want? why are you here? where are you going?

[brav0wing]

My point exactly!

[Strategios]

One of my favorite scenes of series. Thanks! ^^

[backpacker74]

It really is a great performance from both of them!But the sound seems to be a little low dear..

[arwynt]

Is it? It sounds OK to me. Please check your sound level bar in youtube and your PC and if it's low again, I'll see what I can do. Thanks! :)

[axa8791]

it's a little low but I've seen lower. Can manage without headphones though.
