Grey 17 was a bit like TKO, half good (well, all right anyway) and half highly fast-forwardable rubbish.
Infection could happily be reduced to the last 10 minutes or so, everything worth saying is said in those, and the rest isn't even entertaining.

Apparently jms once said that he wished the episode would go away and never come back (can't remember the exact words)...

Ha, yes! It could be expunged and we'd lose nothing. Definitely a filler. I still wasn't quite as bored as I was in the A stories of TKO and Grey 17.

I really must make a B5 icon.
