Babylon 5 episode guide11/27/2023 A newer show would have been more ballsy and killed Sakai(?) Sinclair's girlfriend. The telepath is basically Doctor Manhatten. Garibaldi: "I don't like psy cops, there's something creepy about them". ![]() G'kar with gravitas is much better than comedy G'kar. Also, "no one here is exactly what he appears". Sigma957? Seem to recall that's significant. First appearance of Bester! Oh no, the other psy cop has a terrible fake British accent. Could this have been the previous Narn attache? Sidenote, Bill Mumy tells a story of turning up to shoot and an actress running screaming from the set because she couldn't cope with the makeup. The episode was watchable but all round pretty terrible. The resolution of the assassin storyline is entertaining. Delenn looks right at Sinclair and says "I will be with you until the end of time" which presumably was foreshadowing of the relationship that ended up being with Sheridan. Sinclair and the girl's scenes are like a cheesy 80s romcom. I can see that they wanted a non-humanoid alien but he doesn't add anything to the plot and the effects are extremely ropey. G'kar assassination attempt plot a bit lame. Some foreshadowing of how things are going to play out with Earth later on. Great speech from Garibaldi at the end, which considering Michael O'Hare's mental health problems ends up being pretty poignant. Even the alien's acting was pretty good and the costume was well done. Actually this one was way better than I thought. First mention of Interplanetary Expeditions (IPX) which I think comes up later. I seem to remember this being a dodgy one. Also sets up a character who comes up in a later season. Good example of how Sinclair will wrangle things to solve a problem. Touching moment between Ivanova and her dad, if a little overacted and squishy by the dad. Hilarious pair of hired thugs, one looking like Chuck Norris ripoff. Amazing scene between G'Kar and Sinclair. The Quality of Mercy - C - Average episode, maybe skip.

Obviously this is just my opinion, let me know if you think I was too generous or harsh in your view :) 01: Midnight on the Firing Line - B - Do not skip.Ġ5: The Parliament of Dreams - D - Introduces a character but bad. This is the TL DR version then my thoughts follow afterwards. People always talk about S1 being really ropey but actually I found it had way more good episodes than people give it credit for. I did a rewatch of seasons 1-4 recently, and with the "remastered" version just coming out I thought it might be useful if I shared the notes I took as I watched. ![]() Please note that a Comet will appear if, within one Earth-month, multiple users post revelations of the existence of this product.
