The scope of the ''[[
Please note that this list contains heavy unmarked spoilers for the whole series.
Line 19:
* [[The Government]]
* [[Government Conspiracy]]: Too many over the course of the show to list.
** Oh heck, even the staff of [[
* [[Head
* [[Humans Are Diplomats]]
* [[Humans Are Special]]
Line 59:
* [[Like Brother and Sister]]: With Ivanova. They'd walk through fire for each other, but their relationship is purely platonic.
* [[Messianic Archetype]]: Which gets him a [[What the Hell, Hero?]] from Garibaldi, {{spoiler|who was [[Brainwashed]] to have his paranoia and distrust of authority enhanced by [[Magnificent Bastard|Mr. Bester]].}}
* [[Military Maverick]]: [[Subverted]]. His appointment to ''Babylon 5'' was approved by Clark's government because all the available evidence indicated that he was ''not'' a Military Maverick, but rather a [[My Country, Right or Wrong|staunch loyalist]]. Unfortunately for them, he was staunchly loyal to the Earth Alliance ''Constitution'', as opposed to being loyal to ''the government'' that was failing to follow that Constitution.
* [[My Country, Right or Wrong]]: He adheres to the second part of the quote: "if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, [[La Résistance|to be set right.]]”
* [[Noodle Incident]]: Two come up in the same episode. He refuses to explain how he got the nickname Swamp Rat, and the threat of an embarrassing story is enough to stop him from revealing one about another character.
* [[Nose Art]]: His personal [[Space Fighter|Starfury]] has a full-wing Eagle paintjob. In the fourth season, he had the Babylon 5 emblem painted on the hull of his flagship during {{spoiler|The Earth Alliance Civil War.}}
Line 115:
* [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: The [[Put On a Bus]] was due to his actor leaving the show between seasons.
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]
* [[Reassigned to Antarctica]]: Due to his (repeated) tendency to speak his mind when not appropriate, his back story contains this. A lot. His promotion to the head of [[
* [[Seers|The Seer]]: time travel helps at this.
* [[Shell Shocked Senior]]: Being a survivor of the Battle of the Line is one of his main character points.
Line 200:
* [[The Pornomancer]]: Despite being a bit of a [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold|pompous blowhard]] and not really putting any serious effort into it, he can charm the ladies out of their dresses like nobody's business.
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Given by a [[Talking to Themself|hallucination of himself]], as he's crawling through down-below with a knife wound. Doubles as a [[Rousing Speech]] by the very end.
* [[Trust Me, I'm an X]]
== Elizabeth Lochley (Tracy Scoggins) ==
Line 211:
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]
* [[Lady of War]]
* [[My Country, Right or Wrong]]: Fought on the Loyalist side of the Earth Alliance Civil War. Her being chosen to command Babylon 5 after Ivanova's departure was done as a fig-leaf gesture to the government back on Earth.
* [[Nose Art]]: Her Starfury features a Phoenix.
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]
Line 298:
* [[Fantastic Caste System]]: Religious, Worker, Warrior
* [[Good Old Ways]]
* [[Higher
* [[Honor Before Reason]]: All Minbari at least think they are this. Some are more honorable than others.
* [[Hypocrite|Hypocrites]]: They hold Sheridan as a monster and a butcher for destroying the Black Star. In a war. Using an ambush... while the Black Star was coming to finish off the wounded from an earlier assault. Essentially they consider Sheridan a monster because in a war he dared to win a battle, using tactics that weren't quite as underhanded as the Minbari did.
Line 369:
* [[They Do]]
* [[Warrior Poet]]: Mostly poet but a not an insubstantial bit of [[Lady of War|warrior]].
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] : On more then one occasion, though this is standard for ''[[
* [[The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask|The Woman Wearing The Ambassadorial Mask]]
Line 488:
* [[Man of Wealth and Taste]]
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]] - ''beautifully'' captured when he's observing {{spoiler|the [[Magnetic Weapons|mass-driver]] bombardment of Narn}}. There isn't a ''single word'' of dialogue in the entire scene...Londo's face [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GImJdrCSOFA says it all].
* [[My Country, Right or Wrong]]
* [[Not So Different]]
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: He really does like his booze and his gambling, but he's not nearly as dumb as he lets on.
Line 598:
* [[Eye Scream]]
* [[Heel Face Turn]]
* [[Hot
* [[Mars Needs Women]]
* [[Moral Myopia]]: He seems perfectly fine with ''Narn'' being [[The Bully]] in the first season. Rather less so when Narn are being bullied. {{spoiler|He gets over it.}}
* [[My Country, Right or Wrong]]
* [[Messianic Archetype]]
* [[Not So Different]]
Line 609:
* [[Scars Are Forever]]
* [[Smug Snake]]
* [[Stop Worshipping Me!]]
* [[Warrior Poet]]
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]
* [[With Friends Like These...]]: {{spoiler|When he finds out that Delenn allowed the slaughter of his people at the Shadows' hands to avoid revealing that the Shadows' return was known, G'Kar tearfully, painfully, admits she was correct to do so. And that he will never, ever forgive her for it.}}
== Na'Toth (Caitlin Brown, Mary Kay Adams) ==
Line 618:
* [[Dark Action Girl]]
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[No
* [[Not Quite Dead]]
* [[Put On a Bus]] / [[The Bus Came Back]]
Line 667:
* [[Domestic Abuser]]
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Kosh
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]
* [[Vader Breath]]
Line 705:
** [[Hypocrite]]: {{spoiler|They take it poorly when people decide they want to be free themselves and don't want their 'help'.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Gone Horribly Right]]}}: The Shadows believe that conflict is key to helping younger races evolve. {{spoiler|They are indirectly responsible for Sheridan so evolving, due in part to his decision to kick the Shadows out of the galaxy.}}
* [[Higher
* [[Human Resources]]
* [[Insectoid Aliens]]
Line 732:
* [[Off With His Head]]: Londo's "present" to Vir.
* [[Prophecy Twist]] : All the people who express a wish to him get what they want. Londo gets the temporary rise of the Centauri; G'kar gets revenge on the Centauri, and Vir gets revenge on Morden. Only Vir is pleased with his wish in the long run.
* [[
* [[Smug Snake]]
* [[That Man Is Dead]]
Line 804:
* [[Insectoid Aliens]]
* [[Translator Microbes]]: They only speak through an electronic translator device.
* [[Shout
== The Hyach ==
Line 871:
* [[Older Than They Look]]: He's in his seventies when he first appears.
* [[Playing Against Type]]: ''Very'' different character from Chekov. One must remind oneself it's the same actor.
* [[Shout
** [[The Prisoner|Be seeing you.]]
* [[State Sec]]
* [[Tranquil Fury]]: When his [[Berserk Button]] gets pressed.
* [[Villain Episode]]: "The Corps is Mother, the Corps is Father"
* [[What Could Have Been]]: There was a Bester episode planned for ''[[
* [[You Might Remember Me From]]: Hey, it's [[Star Trek the Original Series|Pavel Chekov]] as a fascistic psychic secret policeman! [[Chekov's Gun|With a gun]]!
Line 884:
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: although he tends to accuse others of it, it's obvious that Byron has quite a chip on his shoulder about 'mundanes'
* [[Ice Cream Koan]]
* [[Long
* [[Nose Art]]: {{spoiler|Painted jet-black, with the Greek letter Omega in white.}}
* [[Passive Aggressive Combat]]: Byron is a master of it. He can make '''anything''' someone else's fault.
