Babylon 5

Rising Star was a perfect episode of Babylon 5 because it weaves multiple story lines together, has great character driven scenes, and plenty of intrigue. I really enjoyed watching this episode as Garibaldi searched for Lise, Sheridan stood to answer for his actions, and Delenn began a new project enlisting the help of Londo and G'Kar. It was cool to find out exciting news for Londo from Centauri Prime. Ivanova is lost now that Marcus is gone, and she doesn't know what her heart wants and where it belongs anymore. I really felt for her in this episode. I thought it was cool how Bester tried to find out the fate of his true love by threatening Sheridan and we find out what may have happened to the anti-telepath virus if the Psi Corps were to come into possession of it. Sheridan gets Amnesty for himself and all who followed orders under him. Sheridan definitely knows how to play the game, as he surprised the new Earth President with the news that he is the President of the New Interstellar Alliance. This episode had a great ending, though G'Kar's eye was a little creepy. I think this could have easily been the series finale though I'm glad it was not. I look forward to the next episode of Babylon 5!!!!!!!

Geez, poor Ivanova. I think getting involved with a romantic relationship with her, even a one-sided one, is a death sentence in the B5 universe. I'm ticked that Marcus is dead too, although as deaths go there are a lot worse ways and reasons, and although I liked him a lot, I'd rather have Ivanova than Marcus. OK, so Sheridan gets immunity for his crew, resigns EarthForce, and gets made president of the InterStellar Alliance. Shiny. I knew he became President Sheridan, but I was wondering how they were going to wrangle him into EarthForce President if he was resigning. Tricky tricky, wrong assumption on my part. I'm liking the new relationship between G'Kar and Londo, some more good scenes with them, including G'Kar's little Peeping Narn act at the end, leaving his eyeball in the honeymoon suite. Although Londo's going to be Emperor, which doesn't bode well for him based on the futureflash. But all in all, this would have been a perfectly satisfactory series finale. Except they went ahead and mentioned the Telepath War and the Drakh War. Hello season 5, neh?
