Best BG moments

[SpooRancher]

"Voice from the Wilderness, Part I" -Ivanova's "Ivanova is God" speech.

"Endgame" - The destruction of the final orbital platform, and the Aggy plowing right through the explosion, and surviving!

"Falling Toward Apoethesis" - The murder of Kosh Vader.

"Between the Darkness and the Light" - Ivanova's "God Sent Me" speech.

and a few Babolaughogasms

"Voices of Authority" - Ivanova's "paper cut"

"Acts of Sacrifice" - Boom-Chuck-a-lacka. Need I say more?

Don't remember the exact episode at the moment, but: "Woo-hoo?"

Racing Mars

''Rising Star'' Delenn's speech about the new Alliance while the White-Stars fly over and shake the building.

Brother Edward in 'passing through gethsemene'

Sebastian in 'comes the inquisitor'

kosh2's 'would you know my thoughts, would you?' in 'the summoning' before frying lytas brain.

The speech between Lorien and Sheridan in 'whatever happened to mr garibaldi?' and Sheridan making a leap of faith.

The scene where Delenn has to tell G'Kar that the Army of Light knew all along that the Shadows were behind the Centauri, and let the Narn homeworld be bombed rather than reveal the truth was a B'gasmic scene. Two of the best actors on the show and some of JMS's best writing.

Amen. And then the next time they speak together that way, Delenn er...convinces G'kar to be Londo's bodyguard. I wish that G'kar and Delenn had had more one-on-one scenes together.

You guys! You're so special spilling out your BG's:D

Here's a couple of great ones that I was recently reminded of:

Sheridan's S5 speech (more like outburst) to the council "If it's war you want! It's war you'll get!" A great moment for Sheridan.

And Delenn's explanation of the candle...beautiful.

And, who can forget G'Kar's Declaration of Principles, and the hilarious ending where he runs in and tells Sheridan they'll all have to be signed again because he's revised it again. Wow and funny all in the same ep.

Great B'laughogasm to me is G'Kar and Londo trapped in the elevator together in S4, and in S5 anytime they're together is hilarious...I loved their new relationship in S5, like a comedic team they were.

Oh, and another great BG for me is "The Very Long Night of Londo Mollari" when Londo wakes up and looks at G'Kar and says he's sorry. God what a powerful, yet quiet moment.

Hell, B5 is simply loaded with BG's...is that a loaded statement? Get it?:D

Strictly speaking in 2262 moments, that's one of my absolute favourite, probably up in the top 3. Just because he had been dealing with all sorts of hell and pettiness for months on end, and for him to just go ballistic and decide that that was "enough", as he said, was quite fulfilling to watch.

"He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives: be someplace else."

I LOVE that moment. Gets me every time.

That one is my favorite! I always loved it when Sheridan lost his temper, lol.

That and holo-sheridan's speech in Deconstruction where he reminds me of Hitler....

"...and in the end we will bury you..."

heh... well.. that's usually a side effect...

[I-Welcome-You]

End of 'War Without End Part II'-Sinclair Transformed into Valen welcoming the Minbaris!! 'I am called Valen, and we have much work ahead of us!'

'War Without End Part II'-Zathras-soliloquy to Sinclair, Sheridan and Delenn. 'The One that Was, the One that Is, the One that Will Be'

'Whatever Happened to Mr. Garibaldi'-Lorien- What to Live for, What to Die for.

Kosh with Sheridan saying-'One Moment of Perfect Beauty'


Just 4 to think about for now.

Many more that are just as profound.

I can't find the thread anymore, but it's called a BabyloniGasm (wasn't it (someone with a more funcional memory than me can correct me ;) ))

Yes, it is short (and less forward in case children are lurking:D ) for a Babylonigasm.

A term created by me to describe those moments in B5 (though not limited to B5 -- LOTR had them in spades:eek: ) when you just shudder and find yourself suddenly desiring to scream: YES! :D

Here is my description of it from the original thread:

My roommate and I were quietly watching our B5 S5 dvd's, when one of those amazing fantastic moments (which are extremely numerous in B5) came along that just sends a rush of emotion and adrenaline coursing through you, giving you goosebumps and forcing you to say something like "Yeah!" or simply an astonished "Wow."

Anyway, one such moment occurred, I believe it was Sheridan's blow-up to the council telling them that if they want war, then war it is.

Afterward, I simply and jokingly pretended to spasm and made the appropriate noise, both simulating a sudden orgasm.

My roommate looked at me as if to say..."What was that?"

Seeing this query lodged in his expression, I simply replied:

"Oh...sorry...Babylonigasm."

To which we both suddenly burst into laughter.

This I share with you all...my new term..now used frequently around my house:

"Babylonigasm: The reaction one has upon experiencing a sudden and near orgasm while watching Babylon 5...especially during such moments as G'Kar's speeches...Delenne's arrival at the last moment to save the station...Ivanova's 'God sent me' monologue, and the ultimate cause of the most lasting and sustained Babylonigasm the entire episode, Sleeping in Light, and so on. Warning: Babylonigasms can occur spontaneously and without warning, even after viewing all five seasons repeatedly."


Of course you can have Babylonigasms while watching other shows and films, but since B5 brought on the most in number and most sustained reactions of this nature, it's the one that gets the crown of having it named for it. Not to mention I coined the term whilst having one during B5.

Enjoy!
