My two cents...

- There's a definite feeling that the pace and intensity of the show has increased with this episode.

- When Sinclair wakes up in an apparently empty Babylon 5, you immediately suspect of course that K 1 & 2 have got him. But when you see the exterior shot of a lifeless looking station with no lights, it's easy to think for a moment, 'hey, what if something *else* is really going on'. Brr.

Yes - I liked that side of it. And Sinclair in the empty station, asking the computer if the place was evacuated... there's a real possibility, in the early scenes, that this could be something happening to the station, rather than to Sinclair.

Exactly... you are left guessing for a while who is really in trouble, Sinclair or the station. :(
