Babylon 5: S04E04: Falling Toward Apotheosis
The Vorlons destroy two more colonies and people on Babylon 5 are getting very worried – The local Vorlon needs to go!
The Vorlons destroy two more colonies and people on Babylon 5 are getting very worried – The local Vorlon needs to go!
One of the most popular characters in Si Fi history played by an actor that confessed he was a “Mick from Brooklyn playing a Wop from Mars.”
The wonderful Claudia Christian plays the very popular Commander Susan Ivanova.
What it’s all been about! Finally, the big confrontation, the story of the resolution of the Vorlon and Shadow conflict – wadda cracker!
Things are hotting up in the final push towards confrontation with the Shadows. but Sheridan needs to make a sacrifice or two…
Ever wanted to meet a Pandimentional superbeing? They may be a lot closer to you than you think!
This straight-lased character is played (rather too convincingly for his own good) by Simon Jones.
One of the grossest characters in animated TV Sci Fi. But quite down to earth and naaa, that’s about it. Not much going for this character other than ugliness.
Lazy, incompetent ships pilot. Whip is Chode’s nephew and only there for that reason.
Spies and subterfuge. Sheridam must get a data crystal from an old man on the run while keeping the dude safe and hidden
Sheridans kama-kasi mission to Z’ha’dum has left the women on Babylon 5 in mourning. Everyone thinks he is dead and none of the War Council members (other than Delenn) will support a trip to rescue him.
Lorien chats to Dead-Sheridan and Lyta, Delenn and Ivanova go to Za’ha’Dum to find him. Garibaldi was taken by Psi Cops and G’Kar is in chains.
Ivanova is looking of First Ones, Delenn is trying ion vain to gather other races and G’Kar and Londo are up to some good!
Scene setting for a saga that would go on for 5 seasons. Its really interesting to see how the characters developed.
Except for the partying, everything seems to be calming down. on Centauri Prime, Londo is preparing to continue his ambassadorship on Babylon 5 when he finds out that the ‘Centaurum’ have elected to name him Regent…
There is a necessary evil Babylon 5 cant do without. This episode is about how Sheridan and Delenn embrace it to get some information they need.
Delenn succumbs to a silly Minbari ritual – the Dreaming. But learns lots from the ordeal.
An awesome made for TV film. The story of telepaths and their importance to the saga and also a little more info on why Sinclair is so important to the Minbari.
Sheridan is still miffed at the ISN broadcast (see The Illusion of Truth). He is particularly annoyed at the way ISN are able to get away with broadcasting untruths about Babylon 5 unchallenged. ISN indicate that it will not be long before Earth Alliance attack the station again.
“….You can kill us. You can bomb our colonies, destroy our ships, murder innocent civilians. But you cannot kill the truth. And the truth is back in business”.
The command staff arrive for breakfast in the morning to find Sheridan in a deep contemplative and slightly wacky mood. He ignores their greetings and, when they embark on a conversation of their own he interrupts (quite rudely in my opinion) with laughs….
Sheridan and Delenn are gearing up to take their respective home-worlds back for their enemies. Another terrific fast-paced show.
Another great episode, lots of intrigue and suspense is beginning to build. Sheridan and Ivanova head out to engage the Earth enemies at Proxima 3
Narn Spaceships. They aren’t always particularly powerful, but they look great!
