Foreword
by Claudia Christian
Boy do I wish I had this book at a zillion conventions I have attended over the years! What zany trivia, what esoteric knowledge, what expertise you need to answer these beasts and conquer this dragon! I am ashamed to say that I could not answer the majority of these quizzlers and naughty little head spinners... but then again, I was rather busy acting during the filming of B5!
Over the years I have had the joy of meeting Babylon 5 experts, people who have taken deep dives into the complex storyline of this epic space opera. I’ve had many a late night chin-wag with them whilst admittedly faking my way through the nuances of the Shadow War... until now, folks – I no longer have to fake it until I make it! I will keep this lovely tome close to my breast from now on at conventions and maybe even end up learning a thing or two.
I hope you enjoy this painstakingly and lovingly created ode to the series that changed my life for the better. I have known Chris McAuley for some time, and he is a truly knowledgeable and passionate writer, artist and closet fan; no-one else could have come up with something quite like this!
So, grab a bowl of popcorn, gather your friends and have a blast seeing who can answer the most of these many dazzling questions!
Much love,
Claudia Christian

Introduction
The world of Babylon 5 is a rich a detailed one, with the show considered one of the best Sci-Fi series of all time – up there with Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica and Buck Rogers. So few shows manage to capture the public’s imagination in the same way Babylon 5 has, with its mixture of the perfect quantities of science, drama, romance, politics and comedy. With epic storylines, characters with huge amounts of depth and unexpected twists galore, it is no surprise that Babylon 5 still has as dedicated a fanbase as it did during broadcast – if not more so, if the continued success of conventions is anything to go by!
This book contains four hundred questions (and answers) to test even the most dedicated fans of the show. Whether it’s about the good guys, the bad guys, the technology, the wider plot points or the minutiae, there’s sure to be some trivia hidden in here that will trip you up... or prove to everyone else that you are the king – or queen – of Babylon 5 knowledge!
Enjoy the Quiz!
