Bester returns to Babylon 5 to shut down an underground organization that smuggles rouge telepaths out of the PSI Corps reach. Meanwhile Sheridan has some disagreements with Earthforce over the rent of his quarters.

I didn't notice any red telepaths, or even ones wearing blusher. ;) :lol:
Good ep this. And boy it had me going with the whole "Talia is bad?" thing. :lol:
Extra point for having Bester in the ep. He's such a creepy little man. :fear:
Lot of Talia centric eps recently. :ermm:. Not that I'm complaining, mind. The Psi corp interests me greatly.
And "Apesanahkwat" - what kind of a name is that? Was that the odd looking dude who quite frankly did look a bit like an ape?

She was somewhat underused in the first season.

Strange name indeed, but then he was a strange fellow ;)

I loved this episode. Double crosses, then double double crosses. And Bester effectively getting whipped :lol: .
The Talia centric episodes are nice, She was vastly underused in the first season and now JMS "seems" to be making it up to her.

ahem :whistling:
A good ep, and as has been said Talia finally gets something meaty to do.
This ep seems really important, but is it? (OK I know the answer to that ;) )

Certainly seems important doesn't it ??

EXCELLENT!!!!
Great use of Talia at last and an episode that strangly seems more important than it first suggests.
Always good to see Walter Koenig he seems to be enjoying his role as Bester very much.
On a different note Eight episodes in now and they really could not have picked a completly different character in Sheridan over Sinclair if they had tried.
Hope the rest of the series continues like the first 8 episodes have.

Hmm, just rereading this back, maybe I know the answer to this now. ;)
I had forgotten about this episode. :)

WK's stated many times over the past few years that Bester's his favourite role :)

I always liked Sheridan and Boxleitner. He has a natural charisma that just isn't there with Sinclair/O'Hare at all.

Any episode that starts with Bester killing someone in that fashion has got to be good :thumbsup:
Even having seen this episode before, the mystery of who is running the underground railroad still works well. Finally we get some follow up to the gift that Jason Ironheart gave Talia, and her relationship with Ivanova continues to progress. I also like that a minor character from Chrysalis suddenly becomes quite important after all. The double double-cross on Bester is brilliant, although I do wish they hadn't felt the need to explain it quite so much. The moment we see the telepaths holding hands again after the devastation made it quite obvious what had happened, so talking Sheridan through it seemed a bit clunky to me.
The side story about them having to pay rent on their quarters is nice light relief in a very serious episode, as is Sheridan's dinner with Delenn, although I have always found that - at this point in the series - she gets on my nerves a lot. I think I preferred her before the hair :ph43r: :lol:
A cracker :thumbsup:
