Another episode that poses more questions than it actually answers.

Who is Delenn and why must the commander be killed if he remembers?

Who was the person who told Delenn this must happen?

Who financed and organized this attack on Sinclair?

Another excellent episode and one that I am sure with have further implications later in maybe not just this series. Well acted by those concerned especially Michael O'Hare.

Only Eight episodes in and this is already proving to be a very good series, cannot wait for next Saturday especially as the next episode features SARAH DOUGLAS who I assume is the same actress from SUPERMAN 2????

Yep. The very same, Ken

................ :P

A good episode this one :thumbsup:

Good idea to do something to make Sinclair a bit more interesting - let's face it he's not going to pull in viewers by the compelling nature of his acting :rolleyes:

As Ken says more questions raised than answers given. A bit of a case of the writers throwing out some well written hooks.

"And the sky full of stars, each one an exploding ship" - OK so the quote isn't actually said in this ep.

Yee haa, this is where B5 just starts getting really good. As Ken says it raises far more questions than it answers and also neatly ties in the pilot into series continuity. If you aren't hooked after this ep there is no hope for you.

One thing. How the hell does Delenn know Sinclair was being interrogated about The Battle of The Line?

Oh I don't know Paul, I can think of three more opportunities by season's end ;)

And here, ladies and gentleman, is the first major episode of Babylon 5 :)

Not really got anything major to add which hasn't been already said - and perhaps the importance of the episode only really plays out in retrospect, since it brings up a lot of questions about Sinclair, and just what hjappened while hewas paying the Minbari a visit?

One aside which makes this episode imporant is the introduction of one of my favourite music pieces - the Requiem for the line (heard in part during the battle sequences).

The oft-heard not yet seen Battle of the Line. Finally we get to see what happened to Sinclair at the Battle of the Line, or do we ??

Following on from last week's batch of episodes and Walter Koenig's appearance as Bester; here we have the role originally written for him, that of Knight Two, played here by Christopher Neame, who does a wonderful job. The only disappointing thing about the character is his rather easy (in the end) demise.

One thing to also mention, a hint if you will. When Characters on B5 read the newspapers, Joe often dropped in vital clues within the papers' headlines ;)

There's the appearance of another character who's not all that he appears to be (his second appearance now). And is that the Grey Council that we saw ?? And what was the glowing triangle ?? Plenty of questions. Some answers, especially regarding Sinclair, but even for him, the big question is really left unanswered. Why did the Minbari surrender at the Battle of the Line, on the very eve of triumph ??

What exactly is Delenn's obersvational mission on B5 and why must Sinclair be killed if he remembers ?? Too many questions :lmao:

Not much more to say on this one, it's a great episode, but way too prone to spoilerage if overanalysed by people who've seen what's to come.

The language of the last couple of episodes has become more ominous and foreboding; one word in particular over the past two episodes, and not by chance.

Interesting. Or not. Joe threw that many red herrings about :lol:

The case of The Enigmatice Episode!

As James says, it's difficult to talk about this one without giving anything away.

Here we see that Sinclair has 'a hole in his mind' from the Battle of the Line and that Delenn may know something about it. What is it that is so important they are prepared to kill Sinclair rather than let him know the truth? Who were the two Knights and who do they work for.

As Johnnie Nash used to sing in the 70's "There are more questions than answers" :lol:

So much to say, so little that can be said... :D

"And The Sky Full of Stars" is an example what The Lurker's Guide - the ultimate 'net guide to the series - refers to as a "wham" episode, and it's easy to see why. So much is revealed...and yet, in typical B5 fashion, every revelation raises several more questions. The beauty of the series is that the answers to the questions are scattered about, waiting to be gathered together and used where appropriate.

So much to say...so little that can be said. :ph43r:

Hmm, very interesting ep. So we know a bit more about what happened to Sinclair, but not all that much. It certainly makes me wants to carry on watching to find out the rest of the details, even though I was liking the series already. :D

As a few people have mentioned now, part of the beauty of B5 is the way in which B5 hooks viewers with it's multiple arcs. Whilst the majority of episodes are important in some way and to some degree, there are a few episodes which act as hubs along the way, pulling the information together. And the Sky Full of Stars is one such episode, there are another three this season, but I won't be telling you which they are ;)

Shiver down the spines abound but I can't help thinking what would a newbie make of this?

Okay I know the answers do come (e-ven-tu-all-y as Manuel would say) but if this was a new series I'd be screaming "LET ME KNOW" which I suppose is why the bloody thing is so damn good :)

A few points:

Was Babylon 5 a forerunner in the Hollywood "Lets make sinister baddies English"?

Why don't the command staff have location implants? :)

Why do all PPG shots seem to go through the upper right hand chest area? :)

Forgot to add: I noticed the "Shadowplay" thing as well James :)

Shame about the problems with the dvd cos it's a bit of a cracker. I've enquired about a replacement, but I couldn't hang around for it to arrive.

Questions answered, yet more questions raised. What exactly were the Grey Council doing? And why did they release Sinclair and end the war?

Michael O'Hare is really good in this episode, and so is Christopher Neame.

I have one question: if Earth Force are trying to uncover collusion between leading Earth officials and the Minbari during the war, as hinted at towards the end, why don't they just send in telepaths to scan people's minds? I know that Psi Corps forbids unauthorised mind scans, but if they're going to send in normal humans with all that equipment, surely it would be much simpler just to send in a telepath who is willing to break that rule?

Anyway, a good episode: what exactly is it that the Minbari don't want Sinclair to remember?? :unsure:
