Novel perspective on an interesting story. That probably won't be the last time that B5 is in the middle of the conflict between the Narns and the Centauri.

:lol:@ the Psycorp advert

The ever so subtle advert :lol:

I loved this ep and the psicorp ad still makes me giggle.

I love the little floating cameras :D I wish they were real :toomuchtv:

One of my favourite episodes of the season :)

I'm aware that the idea isn't completely original (I think an episode of M*A*S*H did it previously), but it allows us to see what could be another stock 'Narn/Centauri war' episode in a completely different light.

Again, what I love the most are the little factoids that kept on appearing - like a 23rd century Pop-up Video :), and of course the ubitiquous Psi-corps advert. And they seem such a nice bunch too...

What is also interesting is the little hints about things going on 'at home' - seems this new President is tolerating B5, and w**king on a more xenphobic Earth....

Finally, I have to applaud them for getting in Delvientos from 'By Any Means Necessary' back in for a little interview - it's nice to see them using a familiar character where they could well have dressed up any old extra :)

When I first watched this episode I was impressed by having a new take on the story. As Phillip says, MASH had done it before but I'd completely forgotten that. This seemed such a fresh way of doing things.

One of MASH's finest episodes as well :thumbsup:

The advert is class

"Look Mom, a Psi-cop" :)

quiet good episode (the tv idea was also done by x-files :lol: and ER :ermm: )

great advert :lol:

we learn a little about what earth think of babylon 5 and the plot is moving nicely (not in a good direction for some aliens but still :rolleyes: ), we saw more of the official attitude of the ambassador when it comes to talk to the press (apart for the vorlon usual hiding attitude)

:thumbsup:

Fairly sure B5 did And Now For A Word before The X-Files did X-Cops. Not sure about the ER one though.

iirc, doctor greene was still around (it was around the time he got robbed and beat up or something like that) :shrug:

Can't say as I've really watched that much ER. Either way, it's a fairly old plot vehicle so I don't think any of them can claim originality :thumbsup:

Still, good though.

just check google, and i think it was "ambush"

season four episode

That would place the ER episode in 1997. And Now For A Word aired in 1994 :thumbsup:
