A ship from when interstellar travel was done on sleeper ships comes to B5, bearing a live human woman and a something, we aren’t sure what it is.

You can read the recap at Dreamwidth
OR Livejournal
Hop on over to the Lurker’s Guide to Babylon 5 for some inside info and more details about this episode.

Dwight Schultz is Amis in the this one – a man who has encountered the thing that rode in on the Copernicus. He’s brilliant as the crazed, tortured man who tells of being the only survivor of 47 men who encountered this thing on a moon during the war.

The human survivor is Mariah Cirrus and she falls ass over teakettle for Franklin almost as soon as she opens her eyes, even though her husband was killed by the thing that was on their ship.

The thing starts to eat the insides of people on B5, just like it did Mariah’s husband. Amis says it’s still in his head and he wants to be rid of it. They all kill it.

We see G’kar looking a picture that looks just like it in the Book of G’Quan. We find out that it had been headed out to the Rim to Z’ha’dum.

When Mariah’s meets G’kar earlier, he says to her: Take my advice and go back to the time you came from. The future isn't what it used to be.

1. Did you think the whole Franklin/Mariah romance was a little gratuitous?
2. I liked compassionate Garibaldi much better than jerk Garibaldi. Did you?
3. What was your general impression of this episode?
