I don't understand why there isn't more Franklin love in the fanbase. I know he doesn't get a lot of the main plotlines, but he's so compelling in the arcs he does get.
If I could be a member of any race from Babylon 5, I would probably most want to be a member of the minbari.
I started the series in late s1 or season 2 after my dad was done with the first season. He called g'kar "lizard man" and wouldnt let me watch the cliffhanger after sherridan falls at za ha dum, because it was "too scary" for me to watch.
I can't watch Buzz Lightyear of Star Command (cartoon series) without seeing Vir.
Both the Shadows and Vorlons have very tempting explanations for their philosophies. They're intriguing and both of them have merit and drawbacks. But when it comes down to choosing sides, I would absolutely side with the Vorlons. There is only Order and Obedience.
Sometimes, when offering advice, I’ll use quotes from Babylon 5, taking advantage of the show’s relative obscurity, to sound wiser than I really am…
I have always had an unhealthy obsession with Ivanova
A manifestation of my subconscious would talk to me the same way that Franklin’s talks to him.

I wish we could have gotten a bit more insight into the First Ones other than the Shadows and Vorlons. I mean, if those two races volunteered to stay behind to teach the Younger Races, why did the others stick around? What did they look like? What were their Life Questions? I wish we could have learned more about them.
I hate the "fan-war" between B5 and DS9. I love them both for different reasons.
As a tween, I only watched this show for the Sheridan/Delenn. As an adult, I think it's some of the cheesiest crap I've ever watched! but I still love it!
As a person who rewatched most of the show recently, I very much appreciate the deviation from typical Sci-fi tropes. The bad guys are often portrayed as very human looking, and put into light settings, while the good guys are often not very human looking, and often put into dark settings. IE: Londo and G'kar.
I feel like I have found a kindred spirit in Londo. I, too, long for my country's glorious imperial past and given the opportunity I would gladly help restore her to her former glory. But I can also imagine myself feeling guilty at the heinous crimes committed in the name of empire, and feeling ashamed at the depths at which my country might sink in order to achieve it.
I liked that Talia and Ivanova got togther for a little while, it showed a younger me that it was okay to like other girls.
Minister/Regent Virini is one of the best minor characters in the show,
