I don't care if she's the best captain B5 ever has, I don't care that people think she's hot, I don't like Captain Lochley because she's Ivanova's replacement. I also think it would have made for a lot more intersting drama in the "who's in charge" situation if it was someone who was used to taking orders from Sheridan and had to work to break out from that. But it's an imperfect universe. And I was wondering how they were going to get Garibaldi back into things. What perfect job for him. I vaguely recall in the last episode if season 4 the future historians saying that letting the telepaths on Babylon 5 was a mistake, so I'm not looking forward to Byron and his crew being around.moreless

No Compromises was a really superb episode of Babylon 5 and an interesting season 5 opening episode. I really enjoyed watching as Lochley arrives on Babylon 5 to take command. I thought it was great that Sheridan discussed with her why she was chosen. It was cool to see Sheridan and Delenn now that they are married. It was interesting to see that some still want to see Sheridan dead and will go to great lengths to make it happen. There were a lot of great scenes, plenty of drama, intrigue, and character development. This season doesn't quite have a direction yet, however I think it was off to a great start. I look forward to the next episode!!!!!moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- With Babylon 5 serving as temporary headquarters for the new Interstellar Alliance, it was determined that Sheridan would make all political and Interstellar Alliance decisions, while station business falls under Captain Lochley's authority. Edit
- In this episode, Sheridan declared that Babylon 5 will remain independent until a vote is held to determine if they want to rejoin the Earth Alliance. Edit
- Goof: After the assassin is killed, G'Kar holds out the book to Sheridan for him to be sworn in on. When we see G'Kar from the front, he is holding the book in his left hand. When we see him from behind with Sheridan's hand on the book, he is holding it in his right hand. Edit

- Each season of Babylon 5 has its own title. The title for season 5 is "The Wheel of Fire." Edit

- Ranger: We live for The One, we die for The One. Assassin: Well one out of two ain't bad. Edit
- G'Kar: You want to be president? Sheridan: Yes. G'Kar: Put your hand on the book and say, 'I do.' Sheridan: I do. G'Kar: Fine. Done. Let's eat. Edit
- G'Kar: Whoever speaks for the Alliance speaks with one voice for many. Consequently, this contains the first page of every holy book of every race that has joined the new Alliance. Whoever speaks for the Alliance does so with the understanding that it is the inalienable right of every sentient being to live free, to pursue their dreams, to address wrongs within their own society without fear of retribution, to believe as their conscience requires in matters of faith, but also to respect the rights of others to believe differently, or not at all.
