Rimmer is a Hologram played marvellously by Chris Barrie and is the character in the series that everyone loves to hate. He is a cowardly, snivelling, back-stabbing, weaselly scumbag and we all love him dearly.

This was actually quite a good episode. It had a complicated story line but the acting was good and it was well produced and directed. Londo starts to suspect that all is not right with Centauri Prime.

Tragedy?!! HAH!#
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.

When 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.

The plot thickens, but we still don’t know who is behind the Centauri War. We saw, in earlier episodes not one, but two different races pulling the strings on Centauri Prime.

This was a cracker of an episode – The title says it all to be honest – definitely watch this though, it’s great!
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.

is 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.

This 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.

This 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.
