Babylon 5 - My favorite scenes - Number two

*************************************
SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS!
**************************************
DO NOT WATCH OR READ THE DESCRIPTION if you wish not to be spoiled. This is from the first part of season 4.


If I had to rank my favorite Babylon 5 scenes, this would be my second favorite in the entire series.
This is Lorien talking to Sheridan after the latter falls at Z'ha'Dum. They're talking about him being "in between Tick and Tock - unable to go backward or forward."

"It's easy to find something worth dying for. Do you have anything worth living for?" I LOVE that line.


The usual legal stuff applies. I do not own Babylon 5. If you want me to remove it and you have that authority, tell me please.

Other than that, enjoy :) (more) (less)

Spectacular scene - thanks for sharing!

[blueeyedcowboy17]

no worries :) Yeah, I love this scene. Wayne Alexander is such a talented actor. I like his voice.

[Eloketh]

This is one of my favourite moments of the series, and one of the best moments of television, period.

Breaks my heart every time.

It's easy to find something worth dying for. Do you have anything worth living for?" I LOVE that line as well. alot of insight in this line, too bad it isnt talking to those that Yell Allah akbar then blow themselves up :p

Classic part of the Hero's Journey. I'm going to quote Fight Club here as I believe it to be relevant.

"It's only after we lose everything, that we're free to do anything." Most if not all great hero tales have this in them. 2 thumbs way up for the actors here.Superb. simply superb.

@Intranetusa I gonna place a bet here............ you're agnostic; are you not? I myself Am. oh what a pun! lol anyhoo Lorien quite clearly states to Ivonnova that his race can in fact be injured, or become ill and die. He simply has not. On a side note Just because people are willing to worship you as a god does not make you one. Oh boy, I just might have opened a phillosophical and theologial can of worms there but oh well.

[BMWM3GTRLOVER]

i got confused when i saw this. when i saw him lying on his back, i thought he was dead proper

[LordGodsServant]

Extremely wise lesson taught here. Because our lives are finite, because eventually "tock" will catch up to us, it's much easier for us to find a cause worth dying for. It's good to have a moral goal towards which you're willing to sacrifice your life (for me it's my Christian faith) but make that goal something you aren't required to die to accomplish it. If Lorien asked me "do you have anything worth living for?" my answer would be "God."

Good Day and God Bless

Sincerely, LordGodsServant

So that where creators of "Avatar:The Last Airbender" took idea for his avatar training

"It's easy to find something worth dying for. Do you have anything worth living for?" I LOVE that line.

Why do you love that line?

Maybe I'm just being stupid.

[ReplicantSeven]

A quote from the writer/producer JMS about this scene:

"During the music spotting session, where I indicate where music comes in and goes out, my main note to Chris on that final sequence was, "Break our heart."

He did. "

This is my favorite scene in Babylon 5. Profoundly moving. Thanks for sharing it here.

This is a touching and illuminating scene. Ideas about life, death, how to lie, and how to let go. Delenn said the flame represents life:right as Sheriden grows closer to death the fire dies down.

- I cannot create life, but I can breathe on the remaining embers. It may not work.

- but I can hope

- hope is all we have

[saquist]

This was smartly done....Premonition-foreshadow twine into a detailed and meaningful explanation for what we knew was going to happen. He would die and yet live. It was a story that was predicted yet interesting nonetheless.
