    One of the best episode hide show

    I adored this one. It had all the best ingredients to make stunning episode. It has Sinclair back and.. it was stunning to see him again. Loved the first season when he was around. And the way he is back.. with all the mysteries going around, the thing he and Delenn knowns.. just look to the Marcus face when they talk.. so suspicious..

    Then.. it has a stunning storyline - time travel, Babylon 4, big war in the past, possible destruction of B5.. It is just like.. all the good things you can wish in one episode. And as it is two parter.. I am sure, we get all the major things next part.. but this one was also amazing.. building the excitement, setting the scenario.. Brilliant.

    Time travel gives me a headache hide show

    OK, so they have to go through a rift in time to 6 years ago, protect Babylon 4 from the Shadows, bring it two years forward to sync up with season 1 stuff, then steal it and bring it 1000 years in the past, so that the Minbari and Vorlons and all them won't lose the last war to the Shadows, so that Babylon 5 won't be destroyed 8 days in the future. *sigh* To quote Capt. Janeway "Time travel - from my first day on the job as captain, I swore that I would never let myself get caught up in one of these God-forsaken paradoxes. The future is the past, the past is the future ... it all gives me an headache." Zathras is back, which is a lot of fun, because he has some hilarious lines. And Sinclair is back and only slightly less cryptic than Kosh was.
