Favourite "In the Background" Moments

[David Panzer]

The tragedy of Londo was the first thread I picked up on when I watched B5 for the first time. When Londo became a pawn of the Shadows he was pretty damn ruthless. I just about loathed the character but I stuck with him. The second time was spent with G'Kar.

For me, a favorite "In the Background" (and apologies for the way this will read) was after I watched Season 5 and was going through the series again. I think it was an episode from Season 1 or 2, Dr. Franklin was talking to Sinclair or Sheridan in one of the walk-and-talks. In the background were 2 maintenance workers that reminded me of Mack and Bo from Season 5. One had the toolbox/seat thingie, the other had the toolbelt loaded with tools.

A really funny part that comes to mind is in season 4 (Lines of Communication I think) G'Kar is in medlab while Dr. Franklin is installing his new synthetic eye. When Dr. Franklin activates the eye, G'Kar blows and waves his hands hysterically because of the burning <~ He he he, gets me every time!

[David Panzer]

Yeah, and then G'Kar takes it out when the good doctor is talking and waves to it like a big kid. Hilarious stuff

Not so much a background character but a background prop that gets me every time I watch it. During the Phoenix Rising Medlab siege Garibaldi is sitting next to the remains of Franklin's antique 250 year-old CRT monitor, possibly the last in existence - a tragedy to be sure.

Sorry, back on-topic now.

I ALWAYS wonder when I see that Gaim running around in "Falling Toward Apotheosis" after Garibaldi and Co. tried to get out the Vorlon by force. He runs back into the Kosh quartier direction then. I find that funny and strange! These Gaim look funny anyway!

The look on the faces of the Observation Dome crew when Ivanova is into her "Ivanova is God" speech in "A Voice in the Wilderness" - and how they quickly become busy when she turns around and sees them gaping at her.
