It’s getting deep and really bad now.

Here is the main bit from this episode:


This is another one of those OMG episodes… The Centauri cross the line into pure evil and we finally hate Londo completely, when they use Mass Drivers on the Narn Homeworld.

And G’kar makes this speech:


And John finally meets the Rangers.

And the real S** t is about to the fan!

I really don’t have a ton to say – there was a lot of build-up with Epsilon 3 that never really did much of anything. There is a lot of that in B% and I suppose some were red herrings but some were just – how many plot threads can you tie together in the end?

Things are moving fast! Y’all hang on to something!

1. Did you notice that Londo gets louder the meaner he becomes?
2. Is he so isolated on B5 that he doesn’t see how bad Centuari Prime has gotten? He does seem shocked at Refa’s plans.
3. What did you think of G’kar’s freedom speech?
4. Zathras? Where did HE come from?
5. Just what does the Great Machine do other than have Jedi feelings and feel when the Centauri attack Narn with the Mass Drivers?
