"It was the year of fire..."
"The year of destruction..."

Who said, "the year of destruction"? I didn't recognize the voice as any character. Vaguely sounded like the Vorlon voice...

I concur. Why he had to pronounce it "the yeeeeeeee of destruction" remains unknown.

For the record:

Lennier, "It was the year of fire..."
Zack, "the year of destruction..."
G'kar, "the year we took back what was ours."
Lyta, "It was the year of rebirth..."
Vir, "the year of great sadness..."
Marcus, "the year of pain..."
Delenn, "and the year of joy."
Londo, "It was a new age."
Franklin, "It was the end of history."
Ivanova, "It was the year everything changed."
Garibaldi, "The year is 2261. The place:"
Sheridan, "Babylon 5."

Even just reading the text of the S4 opening gives me the shivers... [Smile]

I know what you mean, Topher. This may sound silly, but I tear up every time I read some of the quotes from "Sleeping in Light." [Smile]

For all your "Babylon 5" and "Crusade" audio needs.

Tiny correction to Shik's mostly-accurate transcript: I'm pretty sure that Sheridan says the entire phrase, "The place... is Babylon 5." (Although I just checked at Down Below, and I realized that that's where you got the transcript... but I'm still pretty sure that Sheridan said both parts.)

The season 3 title sequence was quite plainly better anyway.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Omega, of course, prefers the season one titles. Yes. [Big Grin]

Nah, S1 and S2 were like any other sci-fi series: just describe the general usefulness of the Bab5 station. They're GOOD, but nothing special. But even when I've taped the episode, I always watch the S3 opener. The whole "last, best hope for peace" thread among the first three seasons was quite creative. S5 was way cool, too. [Smile]

S4 and 5 were the best, IMO. Crusade was shit. I think everyone shares that opinion.

Season 3 had the best title sequence no doubts.

Music alone, Season 2 was the best.

Themes, season 1 was fantastic

Most uplifting, Season 5

Words only season 4.

Crusade - the opening sequence sucked up until the strings come in - and that is a really lovely melody.

IMO, the s1 Andromeda theme is the best. 20 000 guitars, whee!

I have not seen a single complete episode of either Andromeda or Babylon 5. I feel funny.
