    War Without End (2) was a perfect and very entertaining episode of Babylon 5. I really enjoyed watching this episode because it was full of drama, action and intrigue. This episode picks up where the last one left off with Sheridan, Delenn, Ivanova, Marcus, Sinclair and others embarking on a dangerous and life changing mission throug time. I found this episode to be very engaging. I enjoyed seeing Londo's vision come to fruition in an unexpected way which makes sense. I also thought the origin of Valen was interesting. I really enjoyed watching this episode which moves the series forward. I look forward to the next episode!!!!!!!moreless

    Amazing episodes. It was stunning by every bit of it. The story - what a great thing those writers came out.. and the whole story of Sinclair. When the start of Season 2 left quite many questions unanswered, then now we got stunning conclusion. And I loved those lookbacks and the hints dropped before.. and how they all reacted when the realize.. I think that was stunning twist of the episode. If there was conclusion to Sincair's storyline, then there was also amazing conclusion to Babylon square episode. We saw what happened, how those things happened, having old and new pieces together, making amazing results.

    One of the best episodes!moreless
  • As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be...

    Are you fraking kidding me?! I mean, I had a little inkling that that's what they were aiming at, but to actually see it was something else. Sinclair is Valen. Geez. It was kinda cool to see all the future/past Babylon 4 stuff that they set up in 'Babylon Squared' "resolved", but of course they had to go and set up new weird time stuff, what with Sheridan and Delenn bouncing around time like Billy Pilgrim. If you look at the inspiration for the title "As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.", it's kinda depressing. It's not a new war, it's the same war, the universe has always been at war. I don't know if that connects in at all with Kosh's "I have always been here", but I suspect things in the series are going to be very interesting, and a lot more complicated than I originally expected.moreless

  • The best episode since Babylon 5 began!

    "Perfect"
    This was the most revealing episode since Babylon 5 began.We finaly learn who is Valen and who was the Minbary who first won the war between Shadows.I believe the most importand thing in this episode was the connection between the pilot episode/movie "In The Beginning (1998)" and season 1 episode 20 "Squared".

    • This episode is the flip-side of the first season episode "Babylon Squared". They fit together with two exceptions - Delenn's clothes are noticably different, and because there wasn't enough time to show Zathras being captured the way Major Krantz described it in Squared, he is instead picked up by a security patrol in this episode.

    • Revealing Mistakes: In the beginning one of the guards in Babylon 4 is falling down before Ivanova hits him.

    • Continuity: In "Babylon Squared", Delenn touches Sinclair after he tried to warn Garibaldi about his future. In "War Without End (2), she does not touch him.

    • Ivanova: C'mon c'mon, grab what you need. We're running out of time. Zathras: Cannot run out of time. There is infinite time. You are finite. Zathras is finite. [picking up tool] THIS is wrong tool. [Continuting to rummage]No. Not good. No. Never use this.

    • Zathras: All Minbari belief is around three: 3 castes worker, warrior, religious. 3 languagues light, dark, grey. The 9 of the grey council 3 times 3. All is three, as you are three as you are one, as you are "the one." [talking to Sinclair] You are the one who was. [talking to Delenn] You are the one who is. [talking to Sheridan] You are the one who will be. [to Sinclair] You are the beginning of the story [to Delenn] and the middle of the story [to Sheridan] and the end of the story, that creates the next great story. In your heart, you know what Zathras says is true.
