#m: babylon 5

[tendershootsofinnocence]

Another lovely moment from my favourite episode.

[feathered-dino]

Babylon 5 and Guild Wars 2

uhhhhh, so like space retelling of the searing? kinda?

[solivar]

In dark times we sometimes need something uplifting

So I present The Declaration of Principles from Babylon 5. (Originally read by powerhouse actor Andreas Katsulas)

The universe speaks in many languages, but only one voice.

It speaks in the language of hope

It speaks in the language of trust

It speaks in the language of strength and the language of compassion

It is the language of the heart and the language of the soul.

But always it is the same voice

It is the voice of our ancestors, speaking through us,

And the voice of our inheritors, waiting to be born

It is the small, still voice that says

We are one

No matter the blood

No matter the skin

No matter the world

We are one

No matter the pain

No matter the darkness

No matter the loss

No matter the fear

We are one

Here, gathered together in common cause, we agree to recognize this

singular truth and this singular rule:

That we must be kind to one another

Because each voice enriches us and ennobles us and each voice lost

diminishes us.

We are the voice of the Universe, the soul of creation, the fire

that will light the way to a better future.

We are one.

I hope it helps.

Two of my favorite characters in that series.

Some must be sacrificed, if all are to be saved.

we have GOT to bring back campy horny grimy tactile scifi. this is a national fucking emergency

[animentality]

I miss when sci fi was allowed to be goofy and weird and long running, with a lot of daily life plots and silly costumes and fun real sets.

nowadays it's trying so hard to be prestige television, and intelligent, without realizing that the best sci fi could be that AND ridiculous. it's all CGI and brooding and people being sad on sad looking gray planets.

I also dislike how modern sci fi is dystopian this, dystopian that.

you know, farscape is technically a dystopia, but it still let itself be a fun one.

maybe your dystopian sci fi needs puppets.

... and why?

Edit: It's my own fault for not clarifying, but the reason Post Earth is in quotation marks doesn't denote the future, but a scifi setting where humanity from Earth branches outward.

[leftrightwrong]

“college is about finding yourself” WRONG! college is about finding every other gay and autistic person on campus and forcing your special interest onto them.

folks who skipped s01 of babylon five will never truly get how funny the sinclair-sheridan transition really is.

like sinclair is a 6' tall man with kind brown eyes and a tragic backstory whose presence commands the room without him even saying anything. he solves diplomatic conflicts with a wave of his hand. he's so mysterious. he's larger than life. he's a reincarnated alien. the universe rests on his shoulders. what can't he do. sheridan rolls in bag full of shirts in cute colors, rambles about oranges, gives a speech to an empty deck, delegates negotiation duties to his least diplomatic staff member, who immediately starts a civil war (I'm sorry susan we love you but my god), gets locked out of his own flat. is he ok. can we put him on the heater to dry

Happy 6th anniversary of the founding of the first permanent lunar colony, to all who celebrate

Just remembered one of the funniest babylon 5 memes I made ages ago and now I'm going to post onto tumblr at last
