sabotabbyIn which your humble narrator really starts to get into it. It helps that there are two PsyCorps episodes and a Centauri-Narn episode, and those are my favourite plotlines.
In Soul Mates, everyone is having romantic troubles. Talia’s ex-husband, a smarmy little telepath whom the PsyCorps was hoping would breed more telepaths with her, comes to the station bearing ancient Centauri artifacts and an offer to take her telepathy away. Londo’s three wives have also been summoned to the station: It’s his Ascension Day, and the Emperor has granted him one wish. His wish was to divorce all of his wives, but the Emperor is making him keep one. I know this surprises you a great deal, but none of Londo’s wives like him very much, and one or two may be plotting to kill him. He ends up keeping the most caustic of the lot (predictably, but it’s kind of sweet), because at least he knows where he stands with her.
Also, Talia’s ex-husband is named Stoner. Everyone seems to want to make a joke about this, but he’s actually pretty scary.
In C-Plot news, Delenn asks Ivanova to do her hair, in my least favourite subplot since the dieting one. The entire time, I was like, “please don’t have Delenn discover periods, please don’t have Delenn discover periods,” and I’d gotten almost to the end—and then Delenn got her period. Ivanova, to her credit, made the same face as I as making.
(Note: Neither Ivanova nor I look like Scully. If someone wants to make me an Ivanova eyeroll gif, though, I'm sure I could find a use for it.)
Other than the “Delenn explores her humanity” crap, this episode was pretty good. Some thoughts:
- The prop designer clearly had fun with Londo’s party. I wonder who ended up with the giant Londo portrait. I'm imagining some props dude who now has it hanging in his living room.
- The prop designer did not have as much fun with the ancient artifact. Why no tentacle dicks? Is this a recent evolutionary development?
- I liked everyone suggesting that Sheridan shouldn’t get too attached to his post. It’s a realistic way of lampshading Sinclair’s sudden departure, plus Sheridan makes a funny face.
- G’Kar and Londo pretending to be nice to each other was the funniest thing. They’re so adorable that even one of Londo’s wives ships them, apparently.
- Doctor Boring telling Londo to “bite it” made him slightly less boring for 30 seconds. But hey, don’t you have some kind of alien plot device machine that can save dying people regardless of what they’re dying of? Could you maybe have used that instead of waiting around for Timov to have an attack of the moral high grounds?
- Could you be creepier, PsyCorps? I guess you can be because according to Wikipedia, the next episode has Evil!Chekov. HELLS YES!
A Race Through Dark Places: Someone is smuggling rogue telepaths away from PsyCorp, with a stop at B5. Bester kills a dude, gets the info, and investigates, only to be pwned by the power of friendship. I am inarticulate with joy! Some thoughts:
- Doctor Boring gets a non-boring storyline. They telegraphed him being the leader of the underground railroad from approximately a mile away, but I don’t mind, because it’s a cool twist since we were obviously supposed to believe either Ivanova or Talia was behind it. Combined with his illegal med lab, I am pleased that they’ve given him a character attribute at last: flaunting authority.
- Delenn is has gone full-on green-skinned alien spacebabe, “what is this thing you humans call love?” on Sheridan. I hate her overall arc so far this season, but for some reason, their little date thing amuses me. For one thing, someone has finally given her some fashion sense (and Sheridan as well—his suit almost doesn’t look stupid).
- The latest comedic subplot involves Earth deciding that Sheridan’s and Ivanova’s quarters are too big, and they should either pay rent or move to smaller places. I don’t mind this one as much as some of the other subplots: It lets Sheridan act like an immature ass, one thing that distinguishes him from Sinclair, who had far too much gravitas for my liking. And it results in Sheridan and Ivanova having a slumber party, complete with really pathetic jokes.
- That outfit Talia is wearing at the end is really nice. Much better than the yellow and black number, though not as good as the PsyCorps uniforms.
- “The Corps is mother, the Corps is father.” I <3 them.
- The underground railroad telepaths were pretty cool. I loved them swaying Talia over to their side by telling stories about their experiences. It’s a good allegory for how people’s eyes get opened to injustices and the power of personal narrative.
- Is it wrong that I find Bester kind of hot? I’m going to say it’s 75% that he’s Evil!Chekov, 25% PsyCorp uniforms, and we’ll stick with that.
- But seriously, can we take a moment to talk about Talia showing up with wine in Ivanova’s quarters, late at night, wanting to “talk”? Show, are you going to go there? I hope the show goes there.
The Coming of Shadows: No comedic B-plots this time, just sheer unadulterated shit getting real.
I need to pause for another superfluous DS9-B5 comparison. One of the cool things about DS9 versus the other Trek series was that, unlike the usual alignment of Federation-good, everyone else-bad until aligned with the Federation, it brought a sympathetic spotlight to a number of factions. The Federation was still good for the most part, but within it, Section 31 was a worm in the apple. The Dominion was evil as shit, but you could sort of sympathize with them, and the Jem’Hadar were frequently depicted as downright tragic. The Cardassians were mostly evil, except that the most charismatic and awesome character in all of Star Trek (argue this one with me if you want, but you know I’m right) was Cardassian and made their entire culture pretty endearing as a result, plus there were Bajoran terrorists to make the conflict a little less black and white. The Klingons did Klingon things, and Worf has the constant pull between them and the Federation. The Romulans did Romulan things and that was always awesome. The Ferengi, much as I hated any plot line they came near, tended to have their own, not particularly nice but not overtly harmful agendas.
This said, with the exception of Quark in some episodes and Odo in most episodes towards the end, none of the main cast was at cross-purposes with each other. All of the main characters were working towards peace and understanding through science and diplomacy. There was the odd instance of someone fucking up or doing something incredibly nasty, but it was largely about people who were on the same side and who wanted the same things.
B5, with this episode (and we’re not even halfway through the second season!) sets up a dynamic where most of the main characters not only want drastically different things, but are willing to fight other main characters to the death in order to get them. This is a far more challenging route to take after a season and change of building up characters who are flawed but basically likable and sympathetic, and I am terribly excited to see how they’ll pull it off.
Anyway, we finally get to meet the Centauri Emperor, the fellow whom the Narns hate and the other Centauri have been plotting against all this time. And, in a twist I did not remotely expect…he’s actually a really nice guy. So is his Prime Minister. Obviously neither are long for this world. The Emperor (who is mostly bald and looks human, though he has a silly-hair wig that he refuses to wear) decides to visit B5 to make an important speech. He leaves the PM in charge, and splits up his retinue of four veiled telepathic women to maintain an instant link between B5 and the Centauri home world.
Meanwhile on B5, G’Kar is pitching a fit. While, technically speaking, this Emperor is not a genocidal tyrant, he comes from a long line of genocidal tyrants, and G’Kar doesn’t think he should be allowed on the station. Sheridan urges them to hold hands and sing Kumbaya in an ultimately tragic example of missing the point, suggesting that they “open a line of dialogue.” G’Kar, however, is much more interested in opening up the Emperor’s jugular, and to this effect, receives clandestine permission from his government to assassinate the old man. He knows this either means that he’ll die or spend the rest of his life in prison, but he’s willing to do it because fuck imperialism.
Londo and Lord Refa also have not-very-nice plans, though far less violent, where the Emperor is concerned. Refa prepares a speech for Londo to give when he meets the Emperor, warning of military and economic crises in the future. Knowing that the entire discussion will be reported, this will make Londo seem prescient to the Centauri people when Refa makes these crises happen. Vir is increasingly uncomfortable with this whole arrangement—as is Londo, to his credit.
The Emperor is mostly interested in meeting Kosh, because he’s never seen a Vorlon before. I would also like to see Kosh! But Kosh doesn’t show up to the reception. G’Kar does, though, with a knife up his gauntlet (to anyone reading who hasn’t watched the show, G’Kar wears gauntlets. Because.). Fortunately for me because I like this character, his assassination attempt is thwarted by the Emperor having a heart attack of his own accord.
Oh, and Garibaldi apprehends a sketchy-looking guy wearing a cape who has great cheekbones. This will be important in another plot twist I didn’t see coming.
So the Emperor is dying, and the various Centauri factions start getting their coup on. Londo knows that he and Refa have to do something big in order to win power, so he gets Morden to set up a Shadow attack on a Narn outpost near Centauri space. Vir tries to talk him out of it. Poor Vir. He’s kind of lovely but I think that's not considered a good quality amongst Centauri.
The Emperor has a request—he sends the increasingly not-boring Dr. Franklin with a message for G’Kar. The real reason he was on B5 in the first place was because it was his intention to stand in neutral territory and apologize to the Narn for everything his people did to theirs. G’Kar is pretty gobsmacked by this. He immediately runs out and buys Londo a drink and talks happily about reconciliation and OW MY HEART it’s so obvious where this is going.
Londo does feel guilty about the whole thing, but not enough to call it off. He has guilty nightmares, though, in which he’s crowned Emperor when he’s old, and G’Kar, who is missing an eye, throttles him to death. There’s also a horrendously CGI’d hand reaching out of the sun, and lots of Shadow ships. *shudder*
And thus, events are set in motion. The Emperor’s other last request is to see a Vorlon; Kosh obligingly appears at his deathbed. But he’s not much of a comfort—the Emperor asks, “how will it end?” and Kosh says, “IN FIRE.”
The Shadows blow up the Narn outpost. This time, however, they leave a few survivors, who are able to see Centauri warships.
G’Kar freaks the fuck out, trashes his quarters (I should be keeping count of how many times G’Kar trashes his quarters, because this seems to happen a lot), and goes off to kick some Centauri ass. He’s stopped by Sheridan and a security detail. And cries. A lot. No one even gives him a hug.
(I figured sad kittens and pandas aren't quite right for this. Do you know how hard it is to find sad lizards?)
The Emperor finally dies. He refuses to give Refa his blessing, instead whispering something to Londo. To everyone listening, Londo says that the Emperor told him to continue and return their people to the stars; when Refa confronts him alone, he admits that the Emperor told him that they were both damned.
Sheridan has a plan, though as far as plans go, it’s pretty weaksauce. He calls a Council meeting and asks Londo to at least allow for the evacuation of the civilian survivors back to Narn instead of putting them in work camps. Londo is at first reluctant, and then Sheridan threatens to send Earth Alliance observers who are sure to get firsthand accounts of the attacks. Londo backs down and agrees to the evacuation. G’Kar, looking exhausted and broken, says that his government has declared war on the Centauri.
Refa has his dudes take out the Prime Minister for good measure. Yikes!
For the last plot twist in a very plot-twisty episode—the sketchy guy with the cheekbones that Garibaldi arrested? Has a message to give to him. It’s from…wait for it…
…
Sinclair!
!!!
Who is on Minbar, yes, but not entirely as an ambassador. He’s been working with the Minbari, who know about the Shadows. Cheekbones is one of several Rangers working directly for Sinclair and his Minbari allies to watch the Shadows and prepare for war against them. Garibaldi is allowed to pass on some information to Sheridan and Ivanova, but not the source. The only other person on the station who knows about the Rangers is Delenn, who has received a similar message.
Best episode thus far.

One of the things I loved about DS9 was I felt that was earned. Like with TNG and TOS and Voy (barring a couple of early episodes and the excellent Seven stuff) everyone basically got on and was nice and didn't really argue, but DS9 has Sisko and Kira having to learn to respect each other and work together, O'Brien not being able to stand Bashir to liking him more than his wife, Ezri being gradually accepted and, as you said Quark and Odo.
unlike the usual alignment of Federation-good, everyone else-bad until aligned with the Federation, it brought a sympathetic spotlight to a number of factions
That's why I loved the Maquis, and Sisko's awesome reaction to how Starfleet thought he should deal with them because "it's easy to be a saint in Paradise." *love*
