Babylon 5: S05E06: Strange Relations
Good episode with a stinky ending. Really, I felt like throwing my beer can at the screen.

This was a great episode, you begin to feel things hotting up after the lukewarm saga of the telepaths.
Three million years ago, Lister smuggled a pregnant cat on board Red Dwarf against the ship’s most stringent regulations. He rather stupidly took a picture of it and when the knowledge of the cats existence came to the attention of the Captain (Hollister) who put him in Holo-sleep for the rest of the voyage.
Read moreWhen JMS indicated to the B5 newsgroups that we should be patient, this was the episode he was talking about. This is the Babylon 5 we have all come to know and love.
Read moreThe concept of the Hologram is not a new one. The technology enables a member of the ships crew can remain a member of the crew despite the normally debilitating effects of death.

Some of them escaped the dismantling process and now they prowl around deep space searching for a foe worthy of their attention!

Read moreBrakiri ships are run by Ak habil conglomerate, a company which is part of the Brakiri Navy (all brakiri ships are run by companies, which are based on transmissions from 20th century earth.) if you would like any more brakiri information, I’ve got loads, but no pics.
Read moreWe have seen a lot of the Drazi Sun Hawk in season five, usually being blown up by the Centauri! For a cruiser it is very small and can only house one fighter.
Read moreAnother quite tense episode, a little frightening and also a little bit too close to US formula TV for my liking. Not enough sex, violence and special effects like the last episode, I hope things hot up soon.
Read moreis it me, or is this series starting to get you all worked up too? Things are not too clear, there are many unanswered questions and alliances that should be solid are very fragile indeed. I almost dread seeing the next episode.
Read moreThis has got to be one of the worst Babylon 5 episodes I’ve ever seen. It was co-written by Harlan Ellison and directed by Janet Greek. They both need putting out of my misery in my opinion. This was a good story ruined by poor characterisation and a patronising script.
The show opened well, a deep space probe was destroyed by a group of unknown spaceships. But the probe managed to beam back some info to Babylon 5. Captain Lockley is woken from sleep by Lt. Corwin and informed of the attack.
Read moreThis was a relatively good episode, the storyline was a lot tighter and although it suffered yet again from the introduction of another poor character, on the whole, sci fi SadGeezers should enjoy this one.
