Babylon5 s2e22 The Fall of Night
Dec 2nd, 2004 by Ashley
“It was the end of the year 2259 and the war was upon us.
As anticipated, a few days after the Earth-Centauri treaty was announced,
the Centauri widened their war to include many of the Non-Aligned Worlds.
And there was another war brewing closer to home.
A personal one, whose cost would be higher than any of us could imagine.”
“We came to this place, because Babylon 5 was out last, best hope for peace.
By the end of 2259, we knew that it had failed.
But in so doing it became something greater.
As the war expanded, it became our last, best hope for victory,
because sometimes peace is another word for surrender,
and because secrets have a way of getting out.”
— Ivanova in Babylon 5:”The Fall of Night”
As the end of second season, sadly the war has begun. Earth-Centauri treaty
makes sure the peace between these two parties; however, this doesn’t keep
other small worlds from being invaded. It’s just like….what humans would
do to each other.
Anyways, the last three episodes are very powerful yet deeply sad.
這集一開始, 很有趣的一段對話,
“Sometimes, I get so close and .. it seems I am shut out of the important things.”
“The useless feeling. The ambassador is definitely going through some changes, he even looks different.”
“Indeed. And now with the military starting a stampeding over everyone and everything ..”
“.. people coming and going, and secret meetings ..”
“.. you never know what it’s all about, until later, when its too late.”
“And they never listen to us.”
“Makes me nervous.” [together]
“Same time tomorrow?”
“Sure.”
— Lennier and Vir in Babylon 5:”The Fall of Night”
