alexcatBelievers – 1 x10
Here is a recap at TV Tropes: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/BabylonFiveS01E10Believers

The alien mother M'Ola:
And young Shon:
I personally hate this episode. I have lost a child and simply cannot fathom any religion that would be this stupid. Period. I understand the politics and the sticky situation, but at the end of the day, I’d have done what Franklin did. Franklin had an oath to uphold as well. He is a bit on the arrogant side, but we come to know this is his character.
Kosh got the best line with “The avalanche has already started. It is too late for the pebbles to vote.”
It would appear that no one is willing to stick their neck out either way in this one except Stephen. Is he arrogant? Yes, he is always that. Is he wrong? Hell no. Is Sinclair right? As captain, I suppose so but I’m still with Franklin on this one.
There are real ethical problems here, I suppose, but I simply don’t see them. It’s all pretty black and white to me.
The raiders subplot never interested me much even though it led to more eventually. We did get to see Ivanova show off a bit.
