Rewatch for Season 4, Episode 20 – Endgame

And some interesting tidbits from JMS at The Lurker’s Guide to Babylon 5
This was another lightning speed episode and JMS said it was FAST, not hurried.
They’re moving Ivanova back to B5 to die – Delenn basically tells marcus that they can make her more comfortable there. Lennier lets something slip that makes Marcus check medical logs and he finds the Alien Healing Device – the one used as a punishment. He steals away in his ship and heads to B5. John finds out but it’s too late.
John and his fleet are heading for Mars and we finally find out that the Teeps are to be put on Earth ships so they will take over the computer systems of most of them.
The Mars Resistance hits too…and once Mar is done, Sheridan and his fleet head home to free Earth from Clark’s totalitarian control. Clark kills himself and sets the planetary defenses to hit Earth. The Apollo, a ship fighting for Clark at mars, saves Sheridan and the Agamemnon by shooting down the last defense satellite.
John’s speech to Earth:
ISN comes back on with this moving little bit:
Marcus finds and uses the Alien device to save Susan and gives his own life in doing so.
1. Fast or rushed?
2. What did you think, at the time, of Marcus’ sacrifice?
3. Why couldn’t some of the other ships help the Agamemnon shoot down the last satellite?
4. Could you have guessed that there was a device to save Susan from what little Lennier said?
5. Did you notice that Clark’s face was mostly obscured in this episode? Why, I wonder?
