    Given what their sins done how do you give Londo and Dellen a free pass?

    I don't give Delenn or Londo a free pass by any means... but one thing they have over Byron is multidimensionality, particularly Londo. Londo is far and away the most complicated character in the show in my opinion. By no means do I consider him admirable or heroic, but he as a character he is...

    EpDis: Movements Of Fire And Shadow

    An A-, definitely one of the best of Season 5. This episode also really feels like it should have been a two-parter. From every perspective (Londo on Centari Prime, Delenn and Lennier floating helplessly in space, Franklin and Leta desperately trying to get the information in time and Sheridan...

    10 Steps To Become A Minbari(Bill Mumy's Make-Up)

    There is a great feature on one of the DVDs called "building a better Narn" that really shows some excellent make-up and prosthetic work.

    EpDis: Darkness Ascending

    Are you serious? No discussion about this episode in all these years? Well, I guess I'll start by justifying my B. Garibaldi still drinking is pretty meh, but the rest of the story really starts to ramp up the tension. I really enjoyed the dialog and conflict between Sheridan and Delenn, it...

    Zathras's Race?

    Nope, its definitely not in there.

    EpDis: Meditations On The Abyss

    C+. The Lennier story was good but I didn't like it as an A story. Also, we go from a B- to a C+ because... well... I wasn't buying the way some of the scenes were pulled off. Angry Vir just seemed awkward more so than, ya know, angry... and Garibaldi drunk was more silly at this point than...

    B5 Episodes You Prefer To Skip?

    Although I'd be tempted to skip TKO And Infection, I prefer to just tank it and go all the way through.

    The Unfinished Talia Winters Arc!

    I always liked to think that Bureau 13 was something that needed to exist behind Santiago's back - and that once Clark came to power, this illicit branch of the Psi Core became more and more legitmate, ultimately disbanding because the Core no longer needed to do things like that behind the...

    EpDis: The Corps Is Mother, The Corps Is Father

    The interaction between Bester and that girl really reminded me of the relationship between Vir and his wife. "Hey sweety, I really want to impress you. Let me do this murder."

    The Unfinished Talia Winters Arc!

    For the future. Kosh is helping. It was explicitly said by someone that Garibaldi got the crystal from Kosh. I do believe it was in the book somewhere that he never found her, but ya that strongly implies that Kosh knew the score (and why wouldn't he... considering that Vorlons have a Psi...

    EpDis: The Corps Is Mother, The Corps Is Father

    It's always interesting to see what threads go on and on... you people continue to surprise me. I actually wasn't particularly impressed with this episode. I thought it was actually going to be an entire episode centering around Bester (and was hoping for this), but once we get to B5 its the...

    EpDis: The Ragged Edge

    I'll give it a B. Garibaldi finally blows the arc open proper with his discovery, and thinking back to Season 1... who ever thought we'd make it to the Drazi homeworld?

    EpDis: A Tragedy Of Telepaths

    This episode reminds us of how fragile the relationship between G'Kar and Londo still is. And while the telepath bit isn't as interesting, its not bad. Bester's appearance kicks this up from a B- to a B.

    EpDis: In The Kingdom Of The Blind

    A B+. This is where things start to pick up again. Were I saved by some terrifying looking force such as Londo was - I would be more scared than having just taken the knife in the gut. Finally some arc getting kicked up.

    EpDis: Secrets Of The Soul

    Another C. Extinction of races has been done before (Markab), joint evolution has been done before (Centari). Byron is creepy and I think I'd like to take him up on that 4, 5, and 6 just for the ridiculous lines he delivers in the episodes when he's trying to win Lyta over. (Although that...

    EpDis: Day Of The Dead

    I gave this a C only to find to my surprise that I was the only one to have done so. It didn't seem to fit into the universe very well. Everything else supernatural is pretty much explainable as technology (arguably even telepaths are just bi-products of Vorlon advancements in genetic...

    EpDis: Strange Relations

    Average. Just average. Not a big fan of how they use telepaths in this episode.

    EpDis: A View From The Gallery

    I really disliked this episode, in fact I think it is among the worst of B5. I see there have already been many pages of debating the legitimacy of adding in miscellaneous aliens to B5, but to me it just felt like shoddy writing and half-assed story stretching. Yes yes, it could have been...

    EpDis: The Paragon Of Animals

    Started out with a B-- but upon further reflection, none of the telepath sequences were particularly interesting and I ended up kicking it to a C+. How did this thread turn into the official spot to debate the validity of the Byron character?

    EpDis: The Very Long Night Of Londo Mollari

    B+, I was very hesitant about the premise. I generally don't like episodes comprised of content that takes place entirely in someone's head / dream state / crap like that... nonetheless the direction of this show was very well done, some shots were spectacular - and the feel of the internal...
