Babylon 5 has a mole for Psi-Corp. The original B5 telepath returns with that news, and a method for discovering who the culprit is. But, can she believed?

Babylon 5 has a mole for Psi-Corp. The original B5 telepath returns with that news, and a method for discovering who the culprit is. But, can she believed?

Some stunning revelations occur during this episode. We learn that Ivonava is a latent telepath, something that she has been keeping secret for many years.

We learn that Talia is the unwitting mole. I cannot say that I am sad to see her go, because I am not. I never liked her character much. She seemed stiff and annoying. She began to soften up towards the middle of season two, but it was too little too late. I wonder who the replacement will be. I'd like to see Lyta Alexander stay, but I beleive she has something grander to do than be a mere commercial telepath.

We also get our first look at Kosh without his protective suit. Well, I guess that is a lie. But he does reveal himself to Lyta.

The relationship between Sheridan and Delenn is progressing. While not at a romantic level yet, the writers do seem to be hinting that a romantic involvement is in the future.

Any of you notice the Rangers in each episode recently? While they have not had anything major to do, you can see them in the background of various episodes.moreless

Divided Loyalties

By TrueTvWatcher, May 02, 2011

Divided Loyalties was a perfect and classic episode of Babylon 5. I really enjoyed watching this episode and seeing Sheridan and Delenn have more precious moments together. I thought this episode had a really cool story bringing Lyta Alexander back to Babylon 5. This episode was fun to watch as Ivanova became paranoid at the prospect of Lyta in her mind. I thought there was a tender moment between Ivanova and Talia, perhaps an unexplored character development? Too bad we won't find out for sure! I thought the ending of this episode was very intriguing and I look forward to watching more episodes of Babylon 5!!!!!!!moreless

Never know who you can trust

This episode somehow comes from pure air without any warning. Ok, we know Susan and Talia became friends, or at least overcame their differences but now we just suddenly learn how good friends they have become. That just looks little odd but I understand they needed this for the episode, and so there it is. I used to like this episode a lot when I first watch the serie. Talia and Susan used to be my favorite chars but I think I just needed to grow some years to get over that childish and girlish admiration for them to realize that Talia never worked too well as char. Ok, she was very interesting char and the gift Jason gave him - it gave much promise for her and I thought she could have done a lot but as I said - I thought she never worked out as well as hoped. She was little there and she had very little connections with major storylines or if she was a major storyline - no one else had connections to her, most of the time. But somehow I am still sad she is gone like with Sinclair - there were some many possibles storylines what never had changes.moreless

- Sheridan: Okay, that's enough! Now look at us! This is exactly what Psi Corps wants. They want us paranoid, afraid of each other. Divide and conquer. It's the oldest rule in the book. You know that!
  Garibaldi: I guess this wouldn't be the best time for me to suggest we all join hands and sing Kumbaya?

  Delenn: But what?
  Sheridan: What?
  Delenn: You said that life decides to kick you, but ...
  Sheridan: No! It's umm ... it's, it's a part of the body. It's, ahhh ... oh, you have the damndest gaps in your vocabulary!
  Delenn: In preparing to come here, I was not taught the more colorful aspects of your language. It was considered inappropriate for one of the religious cast.
  Sheridan: Yeah, well, you're missing out on a lot.
  Delenn: So I gather ... [Mumbles to herself] Butt. Butt ... I butt, you butt, he or she butts ...
  Sheridan: No. It's a...

- Delenn, before she is called by Lyta, is responding negatively to a trade offer from the Lumati. This is a reference to the earlier episode Acts of Sacrifice - in which the Lumati demanded sex to seal a pact.
