    "Superb"
    By TrueTvWatcher, Jan 28, 2011 Report Abuse
    Strange Relations was a really superb episode of Babylon 5. I really enjoyed watching this episode because it had a lot of intriguing character development as many of the main characters were all manuevering about. There were many smaller story lines which came together and made this episode fun to watch. I thought it was interesting to see Bester and the Captain being friendly together. I thought Delenn's idea for G'Kar to protect Londo was awesome. There were many indications of the future in this episode. This episode had many interesting surprises and is a tribute to this season. I really look forward to watching the next episode of Babylon 5!!!!!moreless

    any of theses episodes of babylon 5 which has bester in it are my all time favourites. in this episode of babylon 5 strange relations. the only thing predictable about life on the floating freeport is its unpredictability, our new captain, captain lochley finds a way to disrupt the telepath- exploting scheme of her ally, psi cop mr bester {walter koenig}. meanwhile g'kar {andreas katsulas} becomes a bodyguard to his nemesis londo mollari ( peter juraski}. and garibaldi finds out that bester is on board the station and gos to the captains office to punch him out, when lochley throws him in the brig.moreless

    • Plot Hole: The Babylon 5 telepath community is poor. Hence the dingy quarters, and Lyta stealing medicine for them. However, at the end, they can somehow afford a number of candles to decorate their dingy quarters. Edit

  • Notes

    ADD NOTES
    • J. Michael Straczynski is considered a "renaissance man" for his many interests behind and in front of the camera, and this is supported in this episode by his title as "composer" and "lyricist." JMS composed the "Untitled Telepath Song" heard in the episodes "Strange Relations" and "Phoenix Rising." His only other lyricist credit is for The Real Ghostbusters TV series. Edit

    • Lochley: You don't have to solve every problem all at once. Problems are solved in pieces. If you're on the seventh floor of a burning building, you can either die or jump out the window. Once you're out the window, you're alive for another two seconds, during which time you figure out the solution to the next problem and so on and so on. Edit
    • G'Kar: I want the aisle seat. Londo: Oh, no, no, no. You sit on the inside. I want the aisle. G'Kar: If you sit on the aisle, I cannot protect you. Londo: But .. I don't like the inside. It's too cramped. I become nauseous. G'Kar: I'll make sure they have a supply of space sickness bags. Edit
    • Bester: Just keep an eye on them, Captain. Don't trust them for a second, because, sooner or later, they will turn on you. You know all about that, don't you, Byron? Edit
