Rewatch for Season 5, Episode 19 – The Wheel of Fire

Dreamwidth Recap
The Lurker’s Guide to Babylon 5

You do me wrong to take me out o' the grave:
Thou art a soul in bliss; but I am bound:
Upon a wheel of fire, that mine own tears:
Do scald like molten lead. : ~ King Lear

We are back at Babylon 5 and things are decidedly different.

G’kar arrives to a hoard of ‘fans’ chanting his name ands waving banners and statues. He is angry and frustrated that his people cannot or will not see his message. Michael shows up drunk at a meeting and for him, that means the game is up. Earthgov wants Lyta for terrorist attacks on PSiCorps. Delenn is so mad that the Narn are demanding to cut ties with B5 if G’kar doesn’t come home that she passes out –

Well, that and she’s pregnant.

Then come some solutions.

Lochley, who is a recovering addict, calls Lise to come see Michael. Lise wants to take him home to help her run Edgars Industries. This enables him to offer Lyta an out. If she will remove the neural block that Bester put in, he’ll help her take care of the money she has for the telepaths. They make a secret deal that he will also launder money for her. She will leave B5 and wander the galaxy with G’kar.

John is very excited about the baby and they wonder about Londo –

Who sits all alone on his throne in the dark…

1. I understand that Lise loves Garibaldi but ‘come home with me and you can run one of the biggest companies in the galaxy, you drunken lout” – come on. How stupid is that?
2. Why did Sheridan wait until so many died from Garibaldi’s drunken carelessness to get really angry about it?
3. Would Delenn’s child be the first human hybrid child OR were all of Valen’s children hybrids?
4. Does Lyta get more powerful or is she just now noticing this?
