At the weekend, I was geeking out on episodes of the 1990s sci-fi series Babylon 5, when I made a startling discovery…
…Can you tell which of these characters is a former Leader of the Opposition, and which one was Babylon 5′s security chief Michael Garibaldi?
Having trouble deciding?
How about now?
Still not sure? Maybe an action shot will clear things up.
It’s an even closer resemblance than Piers Akerman to Jabba the Hutt!
Weird Hair: The New Frontier.
If you spliced Emo-man genes with Bruce Willis genes (and why wouldn’t you?), Garibaldi would be the result.
Lord Of The Squashed Flies!
[apologies if my humour is too currant]
zomg
That ferret on his head sure gets around!!!! – quite talented too I see!
Mercurius,
You have offended Star Wars fans the world over. Compared to PA Jabba the Hutt isw cuddly.
Also try: Colonel Tigh from Battlestar Galactica (pre-eye-patch) and John McCain.
Garibaldi ends up controlled by special telepathic spies called Psi Cops later in the series … the fate of Nelson too perhaps?
Mr. Nelson has certainly mastered the hedgehog look.
What’s that Steve? Surrounded by a bunch of pricks?
Garibaldi also opposed the alcopop tax, made his drinking problem too expensive.
Yes I sympathize. Sigh…. It’s shame Malcolm Turnbull’s not as easy to make fun of isn’t it.
“It’s shame Malcolm Turnbull’s not as easy to make fun of isn’t it.”
I dunno. He looks a lot like John Lithgow as Lucas Sargent in “All That Jazz”.
“I’ve made some notes. Use them, not use them.”
As a B5 fan I am appalled that you could compare MG a larger than life hero, who admittedly did betray his leader whilst under Al Bester’s control, but redeemed himself later to emoman who betrayed his leaders ideals to climb the greasy pole and is still waiting for redemption.
Have you read the Bester books, in them MG really new how to hate must have been an old labour man in his past
Here’s a difference between the two:
Garibaldi got shot in the back by someone he trusted….
Emo-man shot himself in the foot (as well as being stabbed in the back by those he pretended to trust)
So Brendan Nelson comes from outer space. If BN comes from outer space, where do the rest of the Libs and Nats come from.
@15 paul we all know they live on a different planet just watch them in QT “when will the deficit end” I wish the Govt would place a crystal ball on the centre table in both houses and consult it each time a stupid question on economics comes up as for me, my rudd oap bonus will service my cc debt
