b5_revisitedRewatch for Season2, Episode 16 – In the Shadow of Z’ha’dum
Here are the recaps:
Dreamwidth
And
Livejournal
And the Lurker’s Guide to Babylon 5 has a lot of info for this episode.
This episode is another jam packed and maybe the MOST important episode so far. It tells us finally what is happening and ties together many of the hinted at mysteries of the last 2 seasons.
JMS said this and it’s the one truth about this show:
The key, again and always, is that nothing is what it seems on Babylon 5. And even if it looks like it IS what it is, you have to look at WHY it is what it is...and maybe at that point it isn't.
We have Morden’s encounter with Vir. Vir is actually the one true good man who is always good through the whole series, even when he had to do a bad thing.
Sheridan sees Morden in the crew list for Anna’s ship, the Icarus and has him held on the station. Morden gives him no answers and he refuses to let him go. Delenn and Kosh are forced to tell Sheridan what is going on finally. And they convince him to let Morden go so the Shadows won’t know they’re on to them.
Also, we meet the representative of the Ministry of Peace… and we see the Night Watch armbands. We have our Nazis at last. They’re offering 50 credits a week to anyone who will spy on their neighbors and report bad thoughts and actions. Zack joins for the credits.
So we are set up for the rest of the season! Hang on! All hell is about to break loose!
