NON-FARSCAPE TRIVIA (BABYLON-5 ONLY)

[Selena]

Okay took the advice of the gurus who know about these things and have re-commenced this thread. As AgentSun has started a Trek trivia thread this will NOT include any Trek or other series. Thanks Grinner and AgentSun for your advice.:D

RULES

1. ANYONE CAN ASK A QUESTION ONCE YOU HAVE ANSWERED THE PREVIOUS QUESTION CORRECTLY.

2. NO MORE THAN 2 'OPEN' QUESTIONS AT ANY ONE TIME PLEASE.

3. WHERE NAMES ARE CONCERNED, SPELLING COUNTS.

4. THE QUESTIONS MUST PERTAIN TO
... BABYLON 5 ...

Q: What was Susan Ivanova's brother's name and what did he do (career)?

[grinner]

A. Ganya... wasn't he a soldier?

Q. Who was on Babylon 4(?) when it reappeared?

[Selena]

Close enough ... Ganya was a Pilot but he was military.

When you ask who was on B-4 when it reappeared are you referring to it reappearing in the B-5 timeline or the 1000 years before timeline? And do you mean the staff that were there to get it on-line, or are you asking about the alien races?

[grinner]

The Babylon 5 timeline and the specific being that talked with.... shoot... the commander.

[Selena]

Gee Grinner, I thought I knew my B-5 trivia inside out but you've got me on this one! I shall have to drag out my VHS tapes and check it out!

[AnnieBW]

Commander Sinclair (a.k.a. Valen)

NQ: How many penises do Centauri have?

[Selena]

A: I believe the correct answer to that one is 6


NQ: Why is one 'light spot' in the Grey Council always left vacant?

[Selena]

This has been driving me crazy all day. Upon really wracking my slumbering neurones I do believe the being could not have been Commander Sinclair because he was the one doing the speaking ... so the being had to be Zathras who later accompanies Sinclair on his journey back in time.

[grinner]

Bingo...

[Selena]

NQ: Why is one 'light spot' in the Grey Council always left vacant?

[zap]

Light spot is for Valen

[grinner]

What is your Question zapgun?

[talyn3]

*cutting in since Zapgun didn't ask a question*

What is Bester's first name???

[Kurt_eh]

A. Alfred

NQ. What is Bester's REAL NAME (the name he was born with)?
hint: from the Psi book trilogy (just his first name?)

[Selena]

Originally posted by zapgun

Not correct zapgun.

It was left empty in memory of Valen but for another reason too.

[grinner]

bump

[Kurt_eh]

Still two open questions:

NQ1: Why is one 'light spot' in the Grey Council always left vacant?


NQ2: What is Bester's REAL NAME (the name he was born with)?
hint: from the Psi book trilogy (just his first name?)

[grinner]

bttt

[Selena]

Okay it's been a couple or three days since the question was asked ...

NQ1: Why is one 'light spot' in the Grey Council always left vacant?

One spot is left vacant in Valen's memory for "The One" who was to come.

As for the other question ...

NQ2: What is Bester's REAL NAME (the name he was born with)?
hint: from the Psi book trilogy (just his first name?)


The only names I could find for Alfred Bester were Alfie and Al.


NQ: What was Jeffrey Sinclair's fiance's name and what did she do for a living?

[Kurt_eh]

A1. Alfred's real first name was "Steven" (aka Stee). His parents were revolutionaries fighting the inception of the Psi Corp when it was first being formed. They were killed in a raid, and the then-director (who was a friend of his father wotj whom discussed psi-literature) took baby Stee and put him in a Corps hospital under the name of the author "Alfred Bester."

Q: What was Jeffrey Sinclair's fiance's name and what did she do for a living?
A2. Catherine Sakai was a pilot on a survey ship.

NQ: who is this? (no cheating please ;) )

http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/gif/chars/ngrath.gif

[Selena]

I have no idea!!!
Doesn't look like anyone from B-5 that I remember
I'm assuming the picture is the right way up. Right???

[kechara420]

I could be wrong, but is it the creature that deals with illegal stuff, who Giribaldi went to when he was kicked off the security team and was being hunted by station personnel?

[talyn3]

Isn't it an ambassidor to the Gaim race outside of it's encounter suit?

[Kurt_eh]

kechara is close, he does have a specific name, though...

[Selena]

Okay Kurt_eh, 2 days is long enough to keep us in suspense ... another clue please!

[Kurt_eh]

The cheating I was refering to:

Right click on the pic, select "properties" and the image file will come up with http://www.midwinter.com/lurk ... hisname.gif :D

Or you could go to the Lurker's Guide (link above) and look up S1 Characters at: http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/universe/supporting-1.html ;)

[Selena]

Bless the Lurker's Guide! :D

NQ: What were the names of the 2 Vorlon's Jeffrey had close liaisons with on Minbar?

[talyn3]

kosh
and
kosh

[Selena]

:rofl: nice try talyn 3 but not correct!

You did however get one of them right ... :lol but I won't tell you which one!

[Kurt_eh]

But they "are all Kosh" :D

[Selena]

I think that was said in jest ... not that Vorlons are ever really funny. That particular Vorlon was being even more evasive than Vorlons usually are.
I'll give you a hint ... you'll find it in the book 'To Dream in the City of Sorrows'

[NYPinTA]

It's Kosh and Ulkesh(?) Did I spell that right? The nice Kosh and the mean Kosh.

NQ (If I am right;) ) What was Marcus Cole's brother's name?

[NYPinTA]

OK. I know that wasn't that hard of a question. So I'm guessing hat means everyone got bored then? So I'll answer it, cuz I hate loose ends.

William.

[Kurt_eh]

Just flat out didn't know ;) I remember him being a ranger, et al, but his name escaped me...

What's the NQ?

[Selena]

Ulkesh is absolutely correct.

As you didn't ask the next question I'll make it around Marcus' brother.

NQ: How did Marcus decide to become a Ranger?

[cleverfox]

I don't watch/follow B5, but tonight, the show I produce for, on the Fox News Channel, has a former Babylon 5 guest: Nikki Ziering. Who she was, what she did on the show, I have no idea. She was also on Black Scorpion.

The reason I mention it, is because I know that if a guest star on Farscape was going to show up somewhere, I'd be interested. Plus, I thought I could promote my little ol' "news" show.

She's going to be in Austin Powers III and American Pie III too, and she can be drooled over at www.nikkiziering.com.

[talyn3]

Marcus's brother was a ranger and had warned Marcus of an attack on the colony he worked on, disregarding his brothers warning Marcus stayed. His brother died trying to save him. Thus Marcus joined the rangers to honor/fulfill the wishes of/carry on the work of his fallen brother.

NQ- How many Zathrus' (Zathri, Zathruses?) take care of the "great machine"?

[Scarran Raptor]

Fifteen Zathrases work on the great machine
(Zathras 11, AKA "War without end" Zathras was quiet one in family)

NQ-in season 5, what was the name of the Drakh that attached the keeper to Londo? (the answer is in the "Legions of fire" trilogy)

[Selena]

Nikki Schieler Ziering appeared as a hologram in River of Souls (TV movie). As far as I know she was not in any of the Babylon 5 episodes. I don't know of any of her other roles.

[Selena]

I think you've stumped all of us.

I thought it was Emmisary but now I'm not so sure.

[Selena]

Scarran Raptor had to supply the answer ... Shiv'kala ... the answer was in The Legions of Fire Trilogy (books).

A big thanks - SR.

NQ: Who wrote the book To Dream in the City of Sorrows and what is the author's 'claim to fame'?

[NYPinTA]

Kathryn M. Drennan
Is her claim to fame that she is the wife of series creator JMS?
I can't think of another... ;)

NQ- if I am right: What is Mr. Garibaldi' s second favorite thing in the universe to do?

[Selena]

NQ- if I am right: What is Mr. Garibaldi' s second favorite thing in the universe to do?

You were correct NYPintA.

A: I think it was watching Daffy Duck cartoons. Which makes one wonder what his favorite thing was! :lol

If I'm right.
NQ: What was the name of the first telepath assigned to Babylon 5?

[Beaulah]

I thought Leda(sp?) was the first telepath assigned to Babylon 5.

[Selena]

Almost correct Beaulah but not quite.

[vacantlook]

What was the name of the first telepath assigned to Babylon 5?

Lyta Alexander

NQ: What three things did Dr. Benjamin Kyle list as components to Kosh's natural atmosphere in The Gathering?

[Selena]

Methane was one but I can't think of the other 2 ... guess I'll have to go home and watch The Gathering - it's been a while anyway. :D

[Selena]

Sulphur and Methane. I just can't think of #3! :(

[grinner]

bump

[vacantlook]

Two out of three is not bad, Selena. :) The third one is carbon dioxide.

[grinner]

What is the new question then vacantlook?

[grinner]

Since there isn't a new question... I will ask one.

NQ. What cartoon character's picture hangs in Garibaldi's quarters?

[vacantlook]

A: Daffy Duck


NQ: What did Kosh have Abott the "Vicar" (VCR) record from Talia's mind in the first season? (Hint: there were three things.)


grinner, I was leaving the next question open for Selena to ask since she got closest to answering the question I had asked that round. I forgot to say so, however. :goof:

[grinner]

A. "Reflection... Surprise... Terror... For the future"

NQ. What intelligent race on Centauri was destroyed by the Centauri?


Sorry... I didn't know. I was just trying to keep the threads going.

[vacantlook]

A: Xon. Gone and good riddance!


NQ: Why did the Vorlons create the artifact-jumpgate to Thirdspace?


grinner, there was no reason you should have known since I hadn't actually said something in the first place. ;) It was totally my fault. I just didn't want you to think that I had forgotten to ask the next question is all.

[grinner]

A. Because they thought that they were gods and the jump-gate would open up to the Well of Souls. Instead it opened up to an area that was inhabited by an alien race more powerful than the Vorlons.

NQ. Who were the 'The Walkers of Sigma-957'?


No problem. This thread was buried 4 pages back and just thought that it should be up on the main page.

[vacantlook]

A: The "Walkers" were one of the "First Ones." They enjoyed such things as using holographic stone and fire faces to communicate and being pretentious by demonstrating that they could understand your language but chose not to speak to you in it (ZOG!). They weren't fond of the Vorlons by any means. (Vorlon na bousch da chaoug! (My phonetic spelling.))


NQ: Who succeeded Clark as President of the Earth Alliance?

[grinner]

A. Susanna Luchenko? If yes...

NQ. The Omega Destroyer is an advancement of what ship?

[vacantlook]

A: I actually had to look this one up. I thought at first that the Omega Destroyer was the version of the main EA ship except with Shadow technology adapted and installed. However, researching on the net, I found that those are Omega-X Destroyers, not just plain Omega Destroyers, which are the most frequent EA military ship seen in the show--the grey ships with rotating mid-sections. According to what I could find on the net, the Omega Destroyers are newer versions of Nova Dreadnaughts and were developed after the Earth-Minbari War.

Gee Grinner, I can't believe you said that! ... :thud:

On another note when I recovered sufficiently, you and vacantlook have asked and answered some excellent questions.:aok:

[grinner]

Said what? That the thread was buried? Well... it was... wasn't it?

[Selena]

Originally posted by grinner

No dear heart, the part that blew me away was the comment about it should be on the main page ... usually, no-one seems to give a hoot about my threads. You really made my day Grinner :love2:

[grinner]

Anything for a lady in distress. I am chivalrous and all. It twas my deepest pleasure... my lady.

[grinner]

A. Starlaces? I had to hunt for that... I don't know if it is correct though. If it is...

NQ. What is Dr. Franklin's religion?

[vacantlook]

Correct grinner. :D

A: Foundationism

NQ: What in-show reason was given for the difference in appearance between the two different actors that played Draal?

[Selena]

A: I'm not absolutely sure if this is correct but JMS said something about being connected to the Great Machine had changed Draal.


if that's correct

NQ: Where was Catherine's designated survey mission and what was the planet's significance?

[NYPinTA]

Sigma 957 (???)
She ran into the 'First Ones'

NQ Who sent help for her?

[Selena]

NQ Who sent help for her?

A: G'Kar - the Narns


NQ: What element was Catherine surveying for?

[vacantlook]

A: Quantium-40, which is a key compound in producing jumpgates.

NQ: What is the name of the disease that wiped out the Marcab?

[Selena]

NQ: What is the name of the disease that wiped out the Marcab?

A: The Drafa plague wiped out the Markab population in 2259 and was named for the island on which it first appeared. The Markab believed it to be a punishment from the gods for their lack of morality.

NQ: Who were the only two people left in the quarrantined area when all the Markab died on Babylon 5?

[vacantlook]

A: Delenn and Lennier

NQ: Not counting the Shadows, Vorlons, or Lorien, how many First Ones were present at the battle at Coriana 6?

[Selena]

I didn't think there were any other First Ones other than Lorien, the Vorlons and the Shadows. :confused:

[grinner]

Is it the The Walkers of Sigma-957? Because the others never were named.

[Selena]

That is another group Grinner but I didn't think that they were at the battle of Coriana 6.

[grinner]

Yeah I know... I just watched the entire thing last weekend looking for the answer to this question... I searched a ton of websites and I can find no info on this. This is driving me crazy.

[grinner]

Oh... misread the question... there are 5 other races of First Ones at the conflict... but they are not named.

NQ. What mineral is Sigma-957 rich in and what is it used for?

[Selena]

I hate to do this to you Grinner but that question was asked and answered in a slightly different format ...
by NYPinTA
A: Quantium-40, which is a key compound in producing jumpgates.

Please ask another one.

[grinner]

NQ. Name the ship captained by Shai Alyt Tirest.


There are to many questions that I missed... these games are hard to keep straight.

[grinner]

Bump

[vacantlook]

I have no idea what the answer to this question is. I tried to research it on the net, but I found like nothing but a few RPG notes.

[kechara420]

Ok, I'm taking a stab here ...

At one time, he was on the Volkune Flagship LSC VOL. He is now on the Minbari Cruiser Dawnstar.

If it's right, I have no new question to offer, so anyone can feel free to jump in:)

[grinner]

NQ. Why did Londo Mollari get his assignment to Babylon 5?

[Col. Kathryn O'Neill]

Because no one else wanted the job.

If thats right your next question is this:

The Minbari have how many marriage rituals

[NYPinTA]

-Bump-

I bet it is divisible by 3. :rollin:

Anyone?

[kechara420]

Do you mean pre-marital rituals? If so ... 50.


If that's correct, the next question is:

What if the name of Sheridan's first wife, and who played her?0

[grinner]

Well, Beth Toussaint played her... and her name is.. Anna?

[NYPinTA]

In case you are right:

Anna, and she was played by Beth Toussaint and then later by Melissa Gilbert.

NQ
The love of Bester's life is who?

Edited to say: Damn you grinner!! :lol

[NYPinTA]

No wait! His FIRST wife was Elizabeth Lochley and she was played by Tracy Scoggins.

[Selena]

Originally posted by NYPinTA

AAArrrggghhh!

So where's the next question???:huh:

[grinner]

Originally posted by NYPinTA
No wait! His FIRST wife was Elizabeth Lochley and she was played by Tracy Scoggins. I don't think that Tracy Scroggins played his first wife first. I am almost 100% positive that it was Beth Toussaint who played her first.

[grinner]

okay... there seems to be some confusion here. On some sites it says that Anna was Sheridan's first wife... but then this site says other wise....
Which is it?
____________________Captain Elizabeth Lochley


http://www.bakers-place.co.uk/b5chimages/lochley.jpg
The new Captain of Babylon 5, and Sheridan's first wife (they married when they were very young, and soon realised it was a mistake), Captain Lochley is an Earth Alliance career military officer with a distinguished service record and a desire to stand firm by her convictions. Specifically recruited by Sheridan to replace him as commander of Babylon 5. She tries to settle disputes with diplomacy. However, she served on the wrong side during the battle for Earth, which doesn't endear her to everyone and has many on Babylon 5 questioning her command.

[kechara420]

Sorry to put out such a curveball, guys! I'll lob you an easy one to get the ball rolling again ...


What year was it (on the show) in B5's first season?

[Col. Kathryn O'Neill]

For some crazy reason 40 sticks out in my mind as to how many premarriage rituals.

came on line in 2256. fully operational 2257, (the Gathering.)

opening credits say 2258. so the correct answer is 2258

The next question is this:

The phrase, 'the ascention of an ordinary man' is wrote 16 times. there are certain letters circled. What do the say and what does it mean?

[NYPinTA]

I just want to clarify why I put Elizabeth Lochley, played by Tracy Scoggins, as his first wife. In chronological order she is his first wife. They got married young but quickly realized it was a mistake and split up. Then he married Anna.
But, Beth Toussaint is the wife to appear first on the show in the video John's sister brings to Babylon 5 in the beginning of season 2.
So, I guess technically both answers could be right.

Answer to the NQ:
Scorched Earth- and it was because he turned the defense system around to strike the Earth.

NQ: Why did B5 seced from the EA? and what is Delenn's warning to the ships?

[NYPinTA]

Clark fired on civilian targets on Mars.

Damn. I had to research that one!! :rollin:

NQ What game were Marcus and Dr.Franklin playing on the way to Mars?
(Bonus question: The game foreshadows what?)

[Col. Kathryn O'Neill]

point of ref.. they're going to mars. not earth.

[vacantlook]

A: I-Spy.

"I spy with my little eye: something beginning with 'B.'"

"Boxes."

"Right. I spy with my little eye: something beginning with 'M.'"

"More boxes."

"Two in a row. I spy with my little eye: something beginning with 'E.'"

"This better not be..."

(In unison) "Even more boxes."



I don't know the answer to the bonus question.



NQ: What is Mars Resistance leader Number One's real name?

[Col. Kathryn O'Neill]

Not sure on the bonus question.. can we have a hint?!

NQ:

Why is the number '3' so important to the minbari?

[NYPinTA]

Originally posted by Col. Kathryn O'Neill

Sorry. That was a typo. :(

The bonus question is more something I found funny rather than an actual fact. When they were playing "I Spy" they found a Spy. Captain Jack. (Even if he was a spy against his will...) I just found that kinda funny.

[grinner]

.

[Col. Kathryn O'Neill]

what? did i stump ya'll's with my question?!

so here it is... reposted.

NQ:

Why is the number '3' so important to the minbari?

[Sawyer's Miller]

Err - I seem to recall something like this:

'3' represents the 'One'

The one that was (Jeff Sinclair)
The one that is (John Sheridan)
The one that shall be (Ambassador Delenne)

Is that right?

[zap]

I thought it was for the three castes - the warriors, the religious, and the workers

If Im right,
NQ....how does Jeffery Sinclair greet folks he has not seen lately?

[Col. Kathryn O'Neill]

both are right can also add three languages... light, dark and grey.

Hello old friend.

NQ:

[Selena]

A: With the ancient healing device that sapped all his essence and energy.


NQ: What was the name of the ill fated commander of the Prometheus when on the first expedition into Minbari spce?

[Col. Kathryn O'Neill]

Cpt. Jankowski

NQ:


Why did the Minbari surrender at 'The battle of the Line?'

[grinner]

A. Because Sinclair had the soul of a Minbari

NQ. Don Stroud made an appearence in 'Ceremonies of Light and Dark' as the leader of the remaining Nightwatch. He appeared in the series much earlier as which other character?

[Col. Kathryn O'Neill]

Caliban in TKO

NQ: when will the human race be ready to travel to the vorlon homeworld?

[Col. Kathryn O'Neill]

[Selena]

Never??? Lyta was the only one who had ever been there and lived to tell about it. But she never did.

[NYPinTA]

I believe it was a million years.

NQ: (Ya know- it gets hard to come up with questions...! )

Where did Sheriden and Sinclair first meet?

:kitty: <- I love this emoticon!!

[Selena]

They met during the Earth Minbari War Sinclair was a squadron leader stationed on Earth

if that is correct

NQ. Who were the two comedians that entertained the B-5 command crew and how long had one of them not spoken for?

[NYPinTA]

Originally posted by Selena

Nope. ;)
I think.... :eh: This is what worries me. Sometimes JMS wasn't exactly consistent with some of his story line facts.
Where they first met was discussed in 'To Dream in the City of Sorrows.'

PS I keep wanting to ask the question: How old was Susan when her mother died just because there are three correct answers depending on what episode you quote!
:lol

[Selena]

Rats! Suspected I got it wrong ... I'm re-reading City of Sorrows right now but don't recall that part yet. Will have to read faster ... but that book is sooo good it's like congnac - you have to sip it and savor it a little at a time! I do so wish Mrs. JMS had written the follow up In Valen's Name but they made a comic out of it ... sacrilege. :g2f:

[Col. Kathryn O'Neill]

in one million years or so (when ever humanity is ready)
*watch deconstruction of falling stars... or the fall or centauri prime*

comedians... rebo and zooty (penn and teller.) i think since before clark had declared martial law (could be wrong... am a little fuzzy on that part.)

i don't know as to how old susan was when her mother killed herself.. i'm thinking she was like 10 or something.

as to when sinclair and sheridan first meet... it's during the earth/minbari war...(also mentioned in the novelization of IN THE BEGINNING (so that's right..) they meet again on during the Mars Riots.

if any of those are right..

NQ:

in the war with earth, what does susan tell the earth ships

[NYPinTA]

Originally posted by Col. Kathryn O'Neill


..as to when sinclair and sheridan first meet... it's during the earth/minbari war...(also mentioned in the novelization of IN THE BEGINNING (so that's right..) they meet again on during the Mars Riots.

Ahh.. see another discrepancy. Because IIRC in the ... City of Sorrows, Sinclair tells Sakai that he met Sheriden in the Academy, (or what ever they call it.) Sheriden was an upperclassman and gave him a hard time- like they are supposed too. ;) Then they met again during the Mars riots. He never mentioned meeting him during the Earth/Mimbari war.
But I didn't read the novelization of In the Beginning. Of all the books I have only read the one. So, if you want to stump me ask something from the other books. Cuz then I would be screwed!
:rollin:
Selena can correct me if I am wrong- or just making stuff up again.
:D
