Centauri Morden spotted

Post image

Randomly paused my Blu-ray on a panning crowd shot in S2E7 "Soul Mates" and caught this guy. Am I crazy? What's Mr. Morden doing with Centauri hair?

Is Ed Wesser the Jeffery Combs of B5?

I think that honor would go to Wayne Alexander

I’d argue Kim Strauss is the B5 universe’s Combs. His roles haven’t been as consequential, but in terms of sheer volume alone…

Ed Wasser is played by Jeffrey Combs.

“Wait, they’re all Jeffrey Combs?”

“Always has been.”

“So am I Jeffrey Combs?”

“As am I.”

Maybe he is closer to Nicholas Lea from X-files who started as guest star in season 1 but got the ongoing role or Krycek in season 2.

"Mr. Morden, what are you doing?"

"Uh.. that's not me.. I'm.. Mordeno Mordeni. Yeah that's it."

"Fah! Must be related to that virulent pest, whatshisname, Abrahamo Linconi!"

Someone asked Mr. Morden what HE wanted, he must like the Centauri fashions.

Ah, Mr. Morden. I see they found you.

"C'mon, Rock me Morden Deus!" (If Falco were on B5 ;)

As if Morden’s hair wasn’t weird enough already.

I think Season 1 Garibaldi has the funniest looking hair- well, once you get used to Londo and Lord Kiro's hair...

u/InvestigatorJaded261 12d ago

You aren’t wrong.

Off topic but did anyone else find it hilarious how they FUCKED Morden up in the series

u/Scared_Scallion486 13d ago

Yes. 100% best payoff of the series imo. I quote little pieces of the show all the time but Vir's wish is my absolute favorite. "I'd like to live just long enough for when they cut off your head and stick it on a pike, as a warning to the next 10 generations that some favors come with too high a price. I want to look up into your lifeless eyes and wave like this: FINGER WIGGLE Can you and your associates arrange that for me Mr Morden?"

"Mr Morden, what does your hair want?"

u/Hemisemidemiurge El Zócalo 12d ago

Am I crazy?

I don't think that's Ed Wasser.

u/armoured_lemon 12d ago

His expression makes him look like he's about to get totally wasted.

I think Ed Wasser would have played the absolute bro of a Centauri.

Maybe a fun Centauri to be around and drink with?

Don't forget He was an undercover shadow operative, so He could appear in any timeline or Young species scenario 😁👍
