Babylon 5 - Are you willing...

This is another clip from 2nd season's "Comes the Inquisitor". John Sheridan arrives to save Delenn and gets caught as well.

Watching this scene after having seen all the series, I have to shake my head. What the inquisitor Sebastian says to both Sheridan and Delenn is so foreshadowing... I bow to writer Joe Straczynski at having written such a seemingly stand-alone episode that proves so mind blowing, prophetic and ironic after seasons 3,4 and 5!

Sebastian: "This is hell, Captain, and you are its chief damned soul!".... -sigh-

Delenn: "This body is only a shell. You cannot touch me. You cannot harm me. I'm not afraid!".... got to admire her!

P.S. Please, let me know if the sound level in this clip is too low and needs calibrating. Thanks :)

Does anyone know that the inquisitor is the same actor as lorien. Just listen to the voice

[arwynt]

Yes it is, he's also Lorien! His name is Wayne Alexander and I think he also played a Narn at some point. :)

The next quote is the best.

"How do you know the Chosen Ones?

No greater love hath a man - than he lay his life down for his brother.

Not for millions, not for glory, not for fame - for one person, in the dark. Where no one will ever know, or see..."

-Qes

[arwynt]

there is a clip with that wonderful piece of dialog somewhere else in youtube, that's why I didn't include it as well. :)

I don't understand Hungarian, could you translate your comment to English? Thanks!

John 15:13 , no greater sacrifice of love, than to lay down your life for another...this is a great scene from a great movie.

@sammyatlantis @sammyatlantis Wayne Alexander played 5 or 6 roles on Babylon 5 :P

[Ower8x]

@QuasiEvilScott you know who is pharaprased there.

[LordGodsServant]

Here's what I think he was trying to get them to see.

To fully embrace their roles as part of the war they had to be willing to die the death of those who's names are not remembered. They had to be willing to do it because it was right, not because it would grant them great fame or glory. He had to strip Delenn of her titles because people can remember her by them, they had to be willing to die when nobody would remember them.

@arwynt he plays a Narn in 'And The Rock Cried Out No Hiding Place' he also plays the Drazi that's working to break Sheridan in 'Intersections in Real Time' and the Drakh in 'The Fall of Centauri Prime'

I know far too much about this show off hand.

a mutal addmiration and sacreficial society

i love that line

[suchiuomizu]

@bluntman1138 He had nothing to do with Kosh. Ardwright Chamberlain is the name that appears in the credits for Kosh, and that was his voice and Jeffrey Willerth was the man inside the suit.

[bluntman1138]

@arwynt

Wayne alexander was also Kosh. At least he wore the suit and did the voices for him. They gave him the roles of Inquisitor and Lorein so he could actually get some face time. :)

I love how in the end Delenn's spirituality shines through "this body is only a shell, you cannot touch me, you cannot harm me, I'm not afraid". Brilliant scene from a brilliant show, thanks for posting it.
