B5 - Emperor Turhan and Sheridan

Actually, I don't think that this scene spoils anything for this series. But if you care, it's from the early part of season 2. I LOVE the writing here by JMS. Masterfully done.

The usual legal stuff applies. I do not own the rights to B5. If you want me to remove it and you have that authority, please tell me.
Enjoy!

I always loved how the show told you these elemental truths you always somehow knew but could not put in to words yourself.

Bye the way it is one of the few shows were the German translation was done well.

the writing for this show was just the best!

@singletona082 Well, when you think hard enough about things, you seem to arrive at Vorlon questions.

What if the inbetween is not so terrible

[cesariojpn]

The past tempts us, the present confuses us, and the future frightens us. And our lives slip away, moment by moment, lost in the vast terrible in-between.

@singletona082 Actually, the Vorlon question is "Who Are You?" This is, at least as far as B5 is concerned, the far more important and deeper question asked by the guy on the Shadow world, whose name I can't remember and can't be bothered to look up.

Until Vir Cotto, this was the last great Emperor of the Centauri republic.

Several comments focus on hair and clothing, and missing the point of the whole scene.

@singletona082 Even better the respond "IN FIRE".

[singletona082]

I find it funny that the Emperor asks the Vorlon question.

@MISANTHROPE00 Well, the Centauri DO seem fairly similar physically to Humans so we should expect them to suffer from many of the same ailments and conditions that we have. It IS odd though as Emperor Turhan looks like a human without the funny looking hair.

@MISANTHROPE00 Imagine the Queen of the UK running around with a mohawk hairdo and leather pants. O_o

I understand that they wanted to depict Turhan as being humble, but if he truly were humble, he wouldn't make himself stand out by styling himself in a manner that seems outlandish in his own environment. He would just opt for less extravagant versions of Centauri fashion. Less bling would have done the job much better than that Earthling long trousers and Earthling hairdo.
