3.17 "War Without End, Part II" Quiz

Answer: 17

Londo: "During your little war, you drove away the Shadows. Oh, yes! But you did not think to clean up your mess! There's the legacy of your war! ... The price we paid when you abandoned us to the enemies you escaped from!"

Sheridan: "But this couldn't have happened! Not in this amount of time! What year is this?"

Londo: "This is the last year, and the last day, and the last hour, of your life! Seventeen years since you began your great crusade! Seventeen. I am tired. Take him back to his cell. Sheridan! Make your peace with whatever gods you worship. You will meet them next time I send for you! I cannot recall my world from what it has become, but I can thank you properly for your role in it!"

Answer: Zathras

Poor Zathras is complaining to himself about his role when Sheridan pops in and then pops out again.

Zathras: "'Carry this, Zathras!' 'Fix this, Zathras!' Poor Zathras! No one listens to Zathras."

Answer: They have a son

John: "Delenn! What are you doing here?"

Delenn: "I didn't tell them anything! They tried to make me, but I didn't! There's nothing they can do to me! They know that now, so they say they're allowing us one last moment together before..."

John: "What?"

Delenn: "It's all right, John! I accepted this fate a long time ago! They cannot harm me! I'm not afraid! Not if you are with me! Our son is safe!"

John: "Son?"

Delenn: "That's all that matters! John ... I love you!"

Answer: Sheridan

Londo had explained to Sheridan about his keeper, and arranged for Sheridan and Delenn to escape. As they are leaving, Sheridan gets time-bumped out of the scene. Returning to the throne room, G'Kar (with only one eye) and Londo have strangled each other (just like in Londo's death vision). After they are dead, we see Vir enter the room and pick up the imperial seal.

Answer: 4 years into the future (2258)

They started in 2260 and travelled back in time 6 years to 2254 to the point where Babylon 4 orginally disappeared. Then the device malfunctioned sending them ahead 4 years to 2258 when Babylon 4 had reappeared in "Babylon Squared".

Zathras: "Time device activated prematurely! Not good! Malfunction!"

Ivanova: "So where are we?"

Zathras: "Readings indicate we have moved four years ahead!"

Marcus: "Which is exactly when Babylon 4 reappeared the last time!"

Ivanova: "Well, so far, everything's happening exactly the way it did before, whether we want it to or not!"

Zathras: "Mm, danger, though! Time system is not stable! Very delicate! Must adjust before we try again, or become forever lost in time! Very dangerous!"

Answer: "Shadow Dancing"

Delenn is in Sheridan's quarters watching him sleep. She goes into his living room where she picks up a snow globe and flips it upside down. The door chimes and opens and we see only a shadow (no pun intended). The woman's voice says "Hello." Delenn goes instantly stiff and the snow globe shatters on the floor. Obviously she was shocked since we learn in "Shadow Dancing" that the shadowy woman is actually Anna Sheridan, John's (presumed-dead) wife.

Answer: Sinclair

Repeating the scene from "Babylon Squared", Zathras has been captured and brought before Major Krantz and past-Sinclair. Zathras, struggles to keep his promise to present-Sinclair to not mention knowing who Sinclair is. Zathras sees Sinclair and points out that Sinclair is "Not The One! Won't talk! Can't talk! Not The One! They told me.

They did! Zathras listens, he does, yes! Zathras listens and does what he is told!"

Answer: Delenn

In "Babylon Squared", it was revealed that Sinclair was in the space suit and Zathras refers to him as 'The One'. However, in "War Without End" it is Delenn in the space suit and Zathras refers to her as 'The One'.

Answer: "Watch your back."

Sinclair tried to warn Garibaldi to watch his back so that he doesn't get stabbed in the back in "Chrysalis" while investigating the possible assassination of President Santiago...but of course, he failed.

Answer: Marcus

Sinclair: "Good! The rest of you head on back to the White Star. I'll set it off, then come join you."

Marcus: "Entil'Zha! You always said a half a truth was worse than a lie! Don't disappoint me."

Sinclair: "I don't know what you're talking about."

Marcus: "You've kept us going so fast, we haven't had time to think! But this system isn't fully automatic, is it? Someone has to ride this thing back into the distant past! And it's a one-way ticket, isn't it? Whoever goes isn't coming back."

Sheridan: "Is this true?"

[Sinclair nods]

Marcus: "Fine. I'll take her out."

Sinclair: "Marcus, I'll take it back, because I've always taken it, and I always will! It's already happened!"

Answer: 900 years ago

Sinclair: "You asked what brought me here. Before I left Minbar, I was given a letter from nine hundred years ago."

Sheridan: "Whose handwriting is this?"

Sinclair: "Mine. I wrote this from the past, nine hundred years ago. I went. It's as simple as that."

Delenn: "He's telling the truth. I received one as well."

Ivanova: "No! I can't accept this!"

Sinclair: "If I go back to our time, the aging effect will probably kill me. Isn't it better to choose life?"

Answer: All three of them

Sinclair: "Zathras, something I don't understand. You said you followed The One. But The One you pointed to was..."

Zathras: "Was Delenn. Yes, Zathras knew. Zathras is oldest living caretaker of Great Machine! One hundred ten years old! Zathras has studied the Great Machine. Knows things even Draal does not know yet. And I know you [Sinclair]. And I know you [Delenn]. And I know you [Sheridan]. All Minbari belief is around three! Three castes: worker, warrior, religious. Three languages: light, dark, and grey. The Nine of the Grey council: three times three. All is three. As you are three! As you are one! As you are The One! [To Sinclair] You are The One who was! [To Delenn] You are The One who is! [To Sheridan] You are The One who will be! [To Sinclair] You are the beginning of the story, [to Delenn] and the middle of the story, [to Sheridan] and the end of the story, that creates the next great story! In your heart, you know what Zathras says is true! [To John and Delenn] Go now! Zathras' place is with The One who was! We have a destiny!"

Answer: story

Zathras has now explained the discrepancy between "Babylon Squared" and "War Without End". He could say that both Sinclair and Delenn (or if it was Sheridan in the suit) were 'The One', because they are all 'The One'. By the end of the series we know that Delenn and Sheridan also become Entil'zha...so going in order it was Sinclair, Delenn, and Sheridan...just as Zathras said it would be.

Answer: 'The Gathering' -- Minbari: "There is a whole in your mind."

We see Delenn entering her chrysalis in 'Chrysalis'. Then the scene from 'Soul Hunter' where Sinclair is confronted by the Soul Hunter, claiming that the Minbari/Vorlons are using him. And later in that episode when Sinclair goes to Delenn in medlab:

Delenn: "I knew you would come."

Sinclair: "You should rest."

Delenn: "We were right, about you."

Then the scene from 'Legacies' where Neroon compliments (kind of) Sinclair.

Answer: Yes

We see Sinclair enter a chrysalis cocoon into order to become Minbari. When Babylon 4 reaches the past, Valen emerges and presents himself to two warrior caste Minbari: "I welcome you and present this place to you as a gift! I am called Valen, and we have much work ahead of us!"
