Opening to the Ranma 1/2 - Babylon 5 pastiche:

Pilot:

"Sure, honey, I'll tell you about it.  Just let me get a feel
of - <whack> Ok, ok.  After all, I'm the one who can fill in
the details.  I was there at the dawn of the Third Age of
Mankind.  The last of the Babylon stations, located deep in
neutral space.  PANTIES!!!  <whack> Sorry, chickie.  Anyway,
Refugees, smugglers, <waggles eyebrows> hentai - all of them
came through Babylon 5.  It was a ddangerous place - don't
smirk at me like that, sweeto, I wasn't the danger - but it
was our last, best hope for peace.  Heh.  Worked about as
well as you'd expect.  Anyway, that was it - last of the 
Babylon stations.  Now - you promised me - Ah, sweet panties!

--Happosai Mollari, "The Gathering"


Season 1:

"It was the dawn of the Third Age of Mankind, ten years after
the Earth-Minbari war.  And, to be quite frank, I didn't know 
what I was getting into.  I mean, I studied to be an engineer.
But I kept getting these feelings of destiny...and if you've got 
destiny problems, nowhere better to go than this place.  Humans 
and aliens wrapped in two million, five hundred thousand tons
of spinning metal...all alone in the night.  And they've assigned
*me* to command it.  I shoulda stayed at Nekomi Tech...

The year is 2258.  The name of the place...is Babylon 5."

--Keiichi Sinclair, Season 1 opener.


Season 2:

"The Babylon Project was our last, best hope for peace.  Stuck
out there in the middle of nowhere, just drawing attention to 
itself, with a jumped up engineer with a hole in his head in 
charge.  Yeah, that's really bright.  If I'd been in charge
from the start...but I wasn't.  Anyway, about time they assigned
me here, 'cause this was the dawn of the Third Age of Mankind,
the year when all that fighting started.  Can't think of anyone
better to command here.

The year is 2259.  The name of the place is Babylon 5."

--Ranma Sheridan, Season 2 opener


Season 3:

"The Babylon Project was our last, best hope for peace.  It
failed, mainly thanks to the baka in charge.  If it wasn't
for my level head around here...YOU SHUT UP ABOUT THAT!  IT
WAS JUST AN ALTERNATE FUTURE!  IT NEVER HAPPENED!!! <pause>
Anyway, in the year of the Shadow war, mainly thanks to
Keiichi and Ukyou, and *no* thanks to that pervert, it became
something more:  our last, best hope...for victory.

The year is 2260.  The place...Babylon 5."

--Akane Ivanova, Season 3 opener
