Recap and discussion for 4 x 21 – Rising Star

I am going to do a brief recap and discussion. [personal profile] vjs2259 will post her own to replace it when she has the time to do so. She has had a death in the family and was staying with her father in Florida and was leaving before the storm so she had little time to do this recap.

This episode ties up the loose ends, since the series, as far as they knew, was done.

The Civil war is over.

John has turned himself in to earth forces and is awaiting his fate.

Susanna Luchenko is the new president.


Franklin is making a mad dash for Babylon 5 to save Marcus from what he knows has happened.

Marcus is all but dead and Susan is crying. She mutters the famous “All love is unrequited” line.

Londo and G’kar are late for the meeting… Vir comes up and informs Londo that the regent is ill and he will soon be the emperor.

Bester comes into the room where Sheridan waits and finally asks him about Carolyn Sanderson.

John tells him she is alive and on Babylon 5.

Garibaldi is beating up criminals as he hunts for Lise.

Delenn is meeting with the heads of the Unaligned Worlds on her White Star and we are not yet privy to what they’re doing.

Luchenko comes into the room with Sheridan and talks a lot about doing the wrong thing for the right reason. She finally says if he will leave RF, she will give his people amnesty and after she agrees to pout the amnesty in writing, he agrees.

Garibaldi and a bunch of Rangers find Lise in a warehouse. She’s all right and glad to see him.

Delenn’s ship comes into earth orbit. She talks a little to Lennier who tells her about Susan’s unrequited love speech and she assures him that this is not true. Maybe not her best idea.

Delenn and her group arrive on Earth.

Luchenko introduces Sheridan, who does his resignation thing. Then G’kar speaks then Delenn comes to the podium and tells them about the Interstellar Alliance. And the benefits of joining.

The leaders meet privately and discuss this. Delenn offers artificial gravity tech and tells earth that the rangers will patrol for problems and report but will not act… Sheridan is to be president.

Delenn joins John and brings David Sheridan with her.

John is president. Earth joins the alliance and agrees to give Mars its independence. Michael and Lise watch from bed. She mentions needing help running Edgars Industries.

Susan is promoted to Captain and leaves B5.

ISN reports that Delenn and Sheridan were married.

G’kar and Londo are talking and wondering what Delenn and Sheridan are doing and we see where G’kar’s missing prosthetic eye is…

Delenn leaves with this:
"It was the end of the Earth year 2261. and it was the dawn of a new age, for all of us. It was the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. The next 20 years would see great changes, great joy, and great sorrow. The Telepath War... The Drakh War... The new Alliance would waver and crack, but in the end it would hold because what is built endures and what is loved endures. And Babylon 5...Babylon 5...endures."
