"Something seems off with Chekov today."
"Who?"
"Chekov? The Russian at the helm?"
"We have a Russian on board?"
"Sir, he's been the helmsan for 3 years."
"I don't remember him."
Bester is bestest. He always gets an upvote.
Ha my wife and I are watching through B5 for the first time right now. At the beginning of season 2 right now, it’s really picking up although we both grew to like Sinclair and miss him now.
Enjoy! It's one of the few great sci-fi shows out there with incredible wtiting, cast, characters, music and concept art.
I won't spoiler anything, but buckle up for some insane plot twists, character development and story progression. You think it's already good now in S2? Oh my, you're in for a treat come S3 and be ready to have your minds blown in S4.
I wish I could watch it again for the first time, but that's not possible. But fortunately enough I'm bilingual and only ever watched the German dub. Now, for the first time I'm watching the original English dub and while I'm still in S1, I appreciate the cast even more for their incredible acting. Peter Jurasik most of all with his self-developed accent for Londo.
Enjoy the ride! You'll love it! :)
I am tangentially familiar with some of the twists and stuff from being a kid of the 90s, but I’m still looking forward to it. Already there has been a decent amount of Trek crossover too, so that’s cool.
Oh, there's plenty of good Trek crossover regarding the cast.
Walter Koenig (Alfred Bester) was killing it during the entire run of B5. Bill Mumy (Lennier) played Starfleet officer Kellen in DS9 S7E08. Andreas Katsulas (G'Kar) played Commander Tomalak in TNG S3E07 / S3E10 / S4E08 / S07E25/26 plus Drennek in ENT S2E22. Who also knocked my socks off was Brad Dourif. He appears in B5 S3 (not going to spoiler anything here). He played Lon Sunder in VOY S2E16 / S2E26 / S3E01.
There's probably a bunch more actors who worked on both ST and B5, but those mentioned above are the most memorable to me.
And Jeffrey Combs in B5 S1!
Really?! Which episode? I just started S1.
16, 'Eyes'. He plays a telepath.
Thank you. :)
And Dwight Schultz just showed up - ‘The Long Dark’ in S2
Majel Barret shows up in season 3 as Lady Morella.
What? How did I never notice that? :D
Thanks a mil, I'm looking forward to it!
Okay, the funniest cast crossover to me so far:
Jim Norton aka Bishop Brennan from Father Ted has a few gigs at B5 as well. He also portrayed Albert Einstein in two TNG episodes. :D
Have you seen this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xfmOMqFQuA
It's Peter Jurasik at BabCon '95 on stage for an hour improvising London.
Oh dear lord. Thank you! I immediately bookmarked the link. I need to watch this tomorrow. :)
You're welcome; it's great!
Lol, I just watched it. Jurasik doing the Londo improv in London was a delight.
I'm glad you liked it.
