Babylon 5 'Hell-ish' Drinking Game

[TheInsideMan]

Take a gulp of your favourite drink whenever a character says something like:

"Its gone straight to Hell!"

"...and Hell is 5 steps behind me!"

"Send them straight to Hell!"

"...looks like its come straight from Hell!"

"Get the Hell out/off this room/station/Galaxy"

 

[Candlelight]

And 'nuts'.

Or 'what was that he said?'

Or something about 'light and darkness'.

 

[Ryan Thomas Riddle]

"A thousand years ago..."

You're certain to get drunk in no time if you take a drink every time.....

....someone says some variation of "with everything that's been going on recently", or "the way things have been going", etc., without actually spelling out what the "things" that are going on are.

....a Centauri or Narn refers to his or her fellow Centauri or Narns as "my people", "our people", or some variation thereof.

....a random thug or background character who gets in a fight displays some kind of martial arts fighting ability, or otherwise executes some sort of complicated move that most people wouldn't use on the fly, like a roundhouse kick (in "Messages From Earth", one of the guys pursuing Marcus even pulls out nunchucks....NUNCHUCKS!).

....an increment of time just happens to be a really round number, like 1000 years or 1 million years.

"Jumpgate activated"

(hehehe)

 

[TheInsideMan]

"...my associates..."

 

[EnsignRicky]

If your a binge drinker, "In Valen's name" is a good one. Or if life has really gotten you down, just take a swig every time a jump gate opens.

Edit: Candlelight already beat me to that last one; Cheers.

 

[Harvey]

If you want to kill yourself, take a swig everytime somebody asks one of the four questions:

"Who are you?"
"What do you want?"
"Why are you here?"
"Where are you going?"

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Drink whenever these things happen:

- Ivanova says "Boom".

- A Ranger says "we live for the one, we die for the one".

- Somebody makes a boring long-winded speech. However, there is the danger that if you do this, your liver will explode.

 

[Mal]

for what it's worth

 

[Gov Kodos]

Take a drink everytime Londo picks up a drink.

Take a drink when Lenier folds his hands in prayer mode

Take a drink when Delenn's head bone moves in bead

Take a drink when Egyptian prayers are mentioned

 

[CorporalClegg]

Take a drink when someone says, "As you/the Earthers say..."

 

[OmahaStar]

"A thousand years ago..."

Oh, someone's been listening to my podcast.

 

[Jan]

Let's see just how drunk people would get...

Take a gulp of your favourite drink whenever a character says something like:

"Its gone straight to Hell!"

"...and Hell is 5 steps behind me!"

"Send them straight to Hell!"

"...looks like its come straight from Hell!"

"Get the Hell out/off this room/station/Galaxy"

"to hell" is mentioned 41 times in the scripts.
"from hell" is mentioned 4 times (only twice in dialogue)
"hell" is mentioned 515 times altogether

And 'nuts'.

47 times

Or 'what was that he said?'

twice, both by Sheridan

"A thousand years ago..."

21 times

"Jumpgate activated"(hehehe)

Only 5 times. Doesn't hold a candle to SG-1 and all of their activations, scheduled or otherwise.

"...my associates..."

a whopping 22 drinks

If your a binge drinker, "In Valen's name" is a good one.

21

If you want to kill yourself, take a swig everytime somebody asks one of the four questions:

"Who are you?"

51

"What do you want?"

65

"Why are you here?"

8

"Where are you going?"

9

A Ranger says "we live for the one, we die for the one".

12

for what it's worth

8

These counts are from the entire scripts (as published in the script books) not just dialogue.

Drunk yet?

^^ I need the toilet......and a new liver.

 

[Ryan Thomas Riddle]

No one's mentioned this one yet:

"We've got a problem..." (or some variation of it)

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

How about this:

Drink every time Garibaldi does (or even mentions it).

 

[D Man]

^^^Warning: Do not attempt during season 5.

 

[Ryan Thomas Riddle]

How about this:

Drink every time Garibaldi does (or even mentions it).

Does water count too?

 

[Candlelight]

Jan Jan Jan, you extremely helpful geek... How the hell did you search that? Do you have PDF copies?

Others:

- Whenever Sheridan flashes his big teeth (do not attempt during season two)

- Whenever Delenn attempts to understand some aspect of humanity

- Whenever JMS attempts humour (don't try with Acts of Sacrifice)
