Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which of the following has never held the official post as commander of Babylon 5?

Answer: Commander Susan Ivanova

Commander Sinclair was the first commander of Babylon 5 and was succeeded by Captain Sheridan and finally Captain Lochley. Although Ivanova did take on the responsibilities of command on several occassions, this was not her official post.

2. Which commander never became Entil'zha?

Answer: Captain Lochley

Captain Lochley never became Entil'zha or Anla'shok Na...We do not know what happened to her after Sheridan and Delenn left for Minbar. Sinclair, Sheridan, Delenn and Ivanova have all served as Anla'shok Na (Ranger One) and the first three also served as Entil'zha.

3. How many times was Captain Sheridan married?

Answer: 3

Sheridan was married to Elizabeth Lochley briefly during his academy days. Anna was his second wife and died at Z'ha'dum. He married Delenn in the episode "Rising Star" and remained married to her until he died after 20 years of marriage.

4. Which commander enjoyed taking spacewalks?

Answer: Sheridan

"With everything that has been going around here lately he just needed to get out a little, stretch his legs a bit, so he took a walk. Outside. On the forward cargo stabilizers." -- Garibaldi to Ivanova about Sheridan, "Walkabout"

5. Which commander was a favorite choice at a holobrothel on Babylon 5?

Answer: Lochley

The image of Captain Lochley was a favorite of the patrons of the holobrothel located in Downbelow in "River of Souls."

6. Which side of the Earth Civil War was Lochley on (her answer)?

Answer: Earth

When asked by Garibaldi which side of the conflict she was on, she replied: "I was on the side of Earth, Mr. Garibaldi. Weren't we all?"

7. Which commander fought at the Battle of the Line?

Answer: Sinclair

Sinclair received the Medal of Honor for his actions during the Battle of the Line (where he was captured and then released by the Minbari).

8. Which of the following is not a correct match-up of first officers and commanders?

Answer: Sheridan-Corwin

Laurel Takashima was Sinclairs first XO, followed by Susan Ivanova after Takashima left. When Sheridan took over, Ivanova was his XO, and remained in this capacity until he was named President of the Interstellar Alliance (therefore Corwin could not have served as XO during this time period). When Lochley took over for Sheridan, Corwin then became her XO.

9. Which commander had a teddy bear made in their image?

Answer: Sheridan

In the episode, "There All the Honor Lies," a souvenir shop is opened up on Babylon 5 in order to raise money. A teddy bear wearing a baseball jersy and cap was available for purchase. On the cap were the initials, J.S., written to signify that it was Captain Sheridan (not Sinclair since he was on Minbar at this time).

Sheridan hated the bear so much that he spaced it and closed the shop.

10. Which commander was given the nickname "Starkiller" by the Minbari?

Answer: Sheridan

Captain Sheridan was given this nickname after he destroyed the Minbari flagship, the Black Star.
