alexcat.livejournal.comSeason 1, Episode 16 – Eyes
Wonderful opening with Lennier dropping by Garibaldi’s quarters to discuss security and ending up begging to help him with his Kawasaki Ninja as a ‘history’ lesson.
Two men are seem discussing Ivanova in their quarters.
Sinclair talks about unrest on Mars and the possibility that arms might be funneled through the station.
One of the two men mentioned above begins to question Lou Welch in the Zocalo. They ask about Sinclair and Welch refuses to discuss Sinclair. He does report the incident to Garibaldi.
Garibaldi looks into them and finds Aron Franks and Harriman Gray. When pressed, Franks admits he is Col. Ari Ben Zayn, Earthforce Security, AKA Eyes. Gray is Psi Corps and they are there to investigate the command staff.
He questions Garibaldi about Sinclair and Garibaldi tells him little.
It is clear they are after Sinclair and Garibaldi tells Sinclair. The commander think je will be okay but Garibaldi tells him that he’s not sure it will,. That Psi Corps is too close.
Garibaldi is drafter to help Ben Zayn and when he goes to his quarters, Lenier has done quite a bit
Ivanova has a dream about her telepath other and how she was forced to take sleepers. When she wakes, she tells Sinclair that she will resign before submitting to a scan by Gray.
Ben Zayn tells Gray he wants full scans, which surprises the teep.
Sinclair, ever good at finding the loophole, says Ben Zayn cannot have Gray in the room unless there is a scecific charge. This really pisses Ben Zayn. Gray agrees and leaves, running into Susan and inadvertently reading her mind about her mother and Talia.
Susan is pissed but gets called away and when she calls Sinclair, he tries to leave but Ben Zayn relieves him of his command and takes over the station.
Ivanova tells Garibaldi that she will be dishonorably discharged before she will submit.
Sinclair calls Earth but is told he’s on his own.
Susan gets drunk and gets into a fight.
Garibaldi tells her Sinclair has a plan.
Sincl;air tell Gray that he should scan Ben Zayn and when he does, he finds that the man had a vendetta against Sinclair because he gets the post that Ben Zayn was in line for. He attacks and Sincl;air takes him down.
Lennier has finished the bike, even converting the furl system to an efficient, nonpolluting one. Garibaldi is a bit disappointed but the bike is gorgeous so they take a ride.

Questions:
1. Was Gray a bad man? Did you think he was fond of Bester?
2. Did Susan seem to be overreacting to you when you first saw this episode?
3. Did you think Sinclair was a troublemaker for using the rules against those who tried to attack him or the station?
4. Did you think Susan was unfairly harsh with Gray?
Quotes:
“If you enter my mind for any reason, I will twist your head off and use it for a chamberpot!" - Ivanova, to Agent Gray
"Protests are as much use with the Vorlons as fairy wings on a cement truck!" – Garibaldi, to Ben Zayn
