"A Tragedy of Telepaths" discussion

This is the discussion post for the episode 5x10, "A Tragedy of Telepaths" . Spoilers for the whole of the series, including the spin-offs and tie-ins, are allowed here so newbies beware.

Summary:
The Drakh continue attacking Alliance ships, and on B5 some of Byron's followers are also resorting to violence. Meanwhile on Centauri prime, Londo and G'kar run into an old friend.

Na'Toth's back and Byron and his telepaths are just one episode away from being out. Thoughs? ;)

I think that watching Susan in a relationship with Byron would have made Season 5 unbearable for me! I can see what they were trying to do with the Byron character, but the actor is so horribly miscast. He just comes across as a creepy cult leader. The telepath story has so many holes in it anyway that they would have needed an incredibly charismatic actor to carry off the role successfully. I think they usually cast really well in B5, but not in this instance!
