Fifteen wild badgers living in my trousers

About Me

This is a Marcus Cole (from Babylon 5) appreciation blog.

Blog title originates from the quote "And they have much to be concerned about. There's always the threat of an attack by, say, a giant space dragon—the kind that eats the sun every 30 days? It's a nuisance, but what can you expect from reptiles? Did I mention that my nose is on fire, and that I have 15 wild badgers living in my trousers?"

    “You know, I used to think that it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn’t it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe.”

    This is a Sim of Marcus Cole. He can’t cook, so while entertaining the Caliente sisters, he started a big fire, which he heroically extinguished. He has a job as a team mascot. He dances around while wearing dirty looking pajamas.

    He is single.

    OH MY GOD

  7. HAPPY 20TH, B5!!!

    Yeah, shut up, I’m a bit late in the day for this, but today, February 22, 2013, is the twentieth anniversary of the airing of The Gathering, the original Babylon 5 pilot.

    Guess what I’m about to watch?

  11. 100 Things: Marcus Cole (Babylon 5)

    scripturient-quaintrelle:

    This post is part of the 100 Things: A Blogging Challenge; please click here to learn more about the challenge and the full list of topics I’ve discussed.



    image Marcus Cole was a later addition to the cast, coming in at season 3 but he quickly became a favourite character of mine with his witty lines, his physical prowess as a Ranger and of course, that accent and that hair (no, seriously, he’s got better hair than I do, that’s not fair). He’s also an interesting character precisely because he’s not associated with the Earth Alliance or Earthforce like Sheridan or Susan Ivanova is so his perspective on matters can be pretty interesting.

    Anyways, like before, if you’re planning on watching this show at any point there’s potential spoilers ahead! as I will be talking about her character development from the first time she appeared in the show right up to her last appearance. But of course, I try to keep it as vague as I can whenever so that you can still enjoy it ^_~

    Hey Babylon 5 people!  Here’s a Christmas present for you!

    I finally managed to capture and upload my copy of a panel I attended in 2010 at Dragon*Con in Atlanta.  It was billed as “Ivanova and Marcus reunited” but well, it didn’t really come out that way.

    I honestly think it’s better if you watch it without knowing what’s going to happen so you can feel what I felt sitting there.

  15. Marcus being ridiculous.

    • Marcus Cole: [noticing Ivanova's not paying attention to his report] There's always the threat of an attack by say, a giant space dragon. The kind that eats the sun once every 30 days. It's a nuisance, but what can you expect from reptiles? Did I mention that my nose is on fire? And that I have 15 wild badgers living in my trousers?
    • [Ivanova glares at him]
    • Marcus Cole: I'm sorry would you prefer ferrets?
