Ivanova: Doesn't matter. If we lived 200 years we'd still be human, we'd still make the same mistakes. Franklin: You're a pessimist. Ivanova: I'm Russian, doctor. We understand these things.

@ThePCguy17 5 жыл бұрын

Russians "understand" that saying that we're merely human is an excuse? Sounds to me like she understands how fallible humans are, not that she's pessimistic.

@grayscribe1342 5 жыл бұрын

Her pessimism is that we don't change wich fits one of the underlying theme of the show. In 500 or 1,000 ears humanity doesn't change much. but in a million or a billion years? There we have potential. If our species lives that long.

I read an article quoting JMS that a remake, remaster, or even Blu-ray will never happen because Warner won't risk spending any money on it but it also won't sell the TV rights to anyone in case it ends up being profitable for the other guy which would make them look stupid. As Londo would say: "arrogance and stupidity, all in one package. How efficient of them!"

This was a beautifully written testament to Babylon 5 and Susan Ivanova; I have loved this show for most of life and Susan has been a stalwart example for me to follow as well. She has had an equal influence on my character as Star Trek's Jean-Luc Picard and I'm grateful to see her portrayed so well. Thank you Templin.

Susan Ivanova. Commander. Daughter of Andrei and Sophie Ivanov. She was the right hand of vengeance, and the boot that kicked the sorry asses of President Clark's abettors all the way back to Earth! She was Death Incarnate, and the last living thing that her foes ever saw. God sent her.

Thank for doing such a great service to this legendary character of Scifi. If a may suggest Londo Mollari and G'kar for a future dossier.

@TheOneWhoMightBe 5 жыл бұрын

Absolutely! Londo and /or G'Kar. Both such complex and well-acted characters and arguably it was their moral and ethical evolution that was one of the key story anchors of the series. And Vir. Oh my god Vir. Timid, shy, and unassuming, he ended up having a massive pair of balls and two of the greatest Crowning Moments of Awesome I've ever seen without losing sight of who he was.

@AmurTiger 5 жыл бұрын

Vir was neat but both Londo and G'Kar were wonderful precisely because they lost sight of who they were and had to find themselves and purpose once more. Their hard paths to their better selves is the best character arc in sci fi, comparable with Jamie in GoT ( the books cover this better ).

Wow. I actually began tearing up near the end of the video. And I’ve never seen Babylon 5. She was an amazing woman and still very human. They don’t make space operas like these for tv anymore. Recommendation for next Dossier: one of the Keyes from Halo, which can be a collab with Halo Canon or those other Halo lore Channels. Or General George Hammond of Stargate SG-1. Bless that man.

The show is brilliant! It can be cheesy at times but hey it was the 90's, what show didn't get cheesy then right? ;) Babylon 5 is often described as a Sci-Fi Opera because it is a very profound show that really deals with moral issues in a delicate and thoughtful manner. If memory serves, Susan was one of the earliest bisexual characters in Science Fiction, something that is still a highly combative topic today, but her story was treated with such respect by the writers and actors that it was a perfect addition to her character and to the story at large. B5 definitely has a very deep and rich lore, I'm sure you'll love it :)

Great dossier, but I think it should have included more details about her near-death and revival by Marcus. He gave his life for hers, that was a serious turning point for her emotionally and mentally. I also think that moment is one of the key reasons she didn't accept command of Babylon 5 after John had to resign.
