Babylon 5 s01e22: Chrysalis

Table of Contents

I can't believe we're to the season finale already - and also am so impressed with this twenty-three episode season! It's been incredibly tightly written so far.

Londo and G’Kar fighting is comfortingly amusing now.

G’Kar’s shimmery green armor is gorgeous.

Yelling the dying, stabbed man’s name is absolutely the way to keep him alive and giving you info for a few extra seconds, Garibaldi. RIP Petrov.

I am such a fan of these transparent surgical masks. I would like for them to use it for scrubs, too.

A surprise…? He looks so happy I half expected him to say he’s pregnant. But it’s clearly going to be a proposal.

“Look. Do you want to get married, or don’t you?”

AHAHAHA. I had to hold my stitches. That’s fucking perfect, Sinclair, you dork.

Poor Londo. Probably pissed off all the gods by waving his tentacles around. That certainly offended me.

EW NO IT’S FAE EVIL GUY. Morden. Ugh, no.

Delenn did not look particularly happy to get a yes response from Kosh. Granted, it would be rather unnerving to get anything other than an unfathomable soliloquy out of Kosh.

Being an ambassador is pretty high position. A lot of stress. Do you really want more responsibility, ie stress, to interfere with all the boozing and womanizing, Ambassador? Don’t make deals with Morden. Bad news is written ALLLLLL OVER THIS GUY.

Kosh’s shoulder pad wings are so extra.

Delenn, did you promise to grow hair?! In exchange for looking at Kosh?!

If the situation is too big for the head of station security, maybe don’t murder station denizens? That’s guaranteed to get some officials involved.

Vir and I are on the same page. Although he’s totally out of the loop. Londo is smart. He’s got to be able to see how shady this is.

G’Kar’s robe is so slutty. Love the space slut a la Picard look.

IVANOVA. Oh she looks so cute. I wish Talia was here to see her stylin’ curly hair and that dress is just gorgeous.

Hmmm Devereaux could be special forces, or he could have stolen a special forces weapon.

SHIT Morden et al are bad, bad news. Do cloaking devices exist in B5? It seems massively overpowered for the tech we’ve seen so far. Even Vorlon tech. On par with DraalPlanet, for destructiveness.

Something is definitely going to happen to those boxes. And immediately! Inside man!

Delenn!!! And the mystery 24 hours!!! There is a lot going on. Poor Sinclair has had to do some masterful time management this season so far but this might take it to a whole new level. I will be delighted if his pedantry saves the day again.

RIP every single Narn at the outpost. Ten thousand! Very OP. Who the hell and what the hell kind of firepower? I’m surprised that G’Kar’s list of who could have done it include both the Minbari and humans. Perhaps they’re more of a real power than I’d realized.

You can do it, Garibaldi. Pass out on the party floor! What is the party for? I missed that, if it was mentioned.

Oh sheeeeeeeeet, they did not manage to prevent the presidential assassination. Chaos must be incoming. Inside Job Man is still around and fucking shit up and smearing his smirk around.

They are very into lipliner on B5.

Having A Bad Day Narn/Human solidarity:

I’m honestly surprised and impressed that Londo cares that 10,000 Narns were killed. There’s more decency in him for Narnuan lives than I’d thought.

Inside Guy doin Inside Murders.

What doin, Kosh?

There is SO much going on here.

A real, actual, physical, chrysalis?!

There is so much going on that I absolutely cannot predict at all. It’s a trip.

“He is an annoying man, but I would miss him if he…”

Londo Mollari, that was very nearly a genuine sentiment of affection!

I hate Inside Guy nearly as much as Morden at the moment.

Speak of the devil. Floating, invisible, squeaky aliens plus Morden. Only good things can come of this, I’m sure.

AND IT’S A CLIFFHANGER?! *screams and throws things*

y’all I had an extremely busy day for being this recently post-op and am actually having trouble tracking visually. Am going to have to watch the next one tomorrow.

But it will be tomorrow: pinky promise.

Babylon 5 s02e02 Revelation

S02 Table of Contents • previous episode

Londo are you really going to call Kosh out for anything at all? However, your annoyance is a little bit fair with Delenn and G’Kar. Ohh nevermind, Kosh is there lurking in the corner.

Fuck yeah G’Kar. Loving this glimpse of more alien ships. What is this morphing mesh? Whose are they? Morden’s allies?

The year the great war came upon us all...so there’s going to be some major fighting soon? Unless this season portrays less than a year. Hmmm. I like Sheridan’s introduction to the show. And Harlan Ellison consulted on this? That’s so fucking cool.

Ehhh leave Garibaldi in the coma, imo. Tried and failed to contact his next of kin! Ok...that’s actually very sad. Yeah, use Laura’s cool device! It’s probably literally the safest option for any person with a medical issue. Laura certainly used it to great effect, and I’m sure the denizens of Down Below miss her very much. And I totally called the machine coming back!

“Hi big brother,” un-fucking-believable. As one of six kids I can confidently say that that affectionate hug should have been accompanied by a loving “Hey shitbag.” Just to keep the new commander of B5 from getting too big of a head.

If Londo had half a molecule of common sense he’d vaporize Morden on the spot. That’s a terrifying and very malevolent level of power he displayed with the 10,000 Narns dead, and there’s absolutely no guarantee he won’t turn it on the Centauri next!

Anna...a sibling? A spouse to one of them? Sheridan’s spouse, I’m guessing. Poor guy. Grief do be like that. Ah, yes, spouse. Go to therapy, Sheridan. Or maybe a grief support group.

Lennier is such a caring cocoon caregiver. A little creepy with that vocal overlay. But caring.

G’Kar: “Close the door.” Na’Toth: “Close” Door: closes

LMAO. Did she remove him from the voice authorization while he was gone?

Details on Morden’s allies?! And G’Quan was a real person that was deified?

This is so metal.

“After a thousand years, the darkness has come again.”

Laura’s machine worked! Now the Presidential Assassination Plot may commence. Inside Guy is gonna do more inside crimes!

That’s either some very convenient amnesia, or very subtle acting on Jerry Doyle’s part, because I could not tell if he saw or recognized Inside Guy at all.

G’Kar’s armor is so gorgeous.

Delenn is out!!! All that TLC really paid off, Lennier. Hair now? Or hair later?

I didn’t suspect the scales.

Nice exposition, Sheridan Siblings. It is very tragic and sad. Moral of the story: don’t be a workaholic lest a tragic accident befall your spouse.

A shell within the cocoon! I bet the makeup was a bitch and about ten hours to apply, though.

Londo _do not _report this to Morden. Augh, of course you are, you idiot. For fuck’s sake.

Ah, so Garibaldi really didn’t remember who shot him.

Talia seems to have her powers heightened by skin to skin contact. I wonder if that’s standard, or a her-thing.

Inside Guy caught by the reflection! And tricked out of his quarters by the lure of a Butterfly Delenn - that’s fragging hilarious.

Police Brutality Garibaldi is back. sigh.

Lovely that the death penalty still exists. Even lovelier that Garibaldi wants to administer it himself. I do think that Inside Guy is going to escape, though.

Ah, so the current president is interested in the plot against the former president now! And both Inside Guy and all the relevant evidence is definitely vanishing en route to Current Pres. Who’s looking shadier and shadier by the second.

Thanks to the Narns I now know that you have to travel within hyperspace to coordinates before moving back into normal space. And thanks to Londo, no one will know that they saw evidence of the Evil Fae Folks.

Hair now! How handy that Lizzy came with info and a kick in the ass out of his grief so that he can be attracted to the newly conventionally-hot-by-human-standards Delenn.

Does this mean the original plan before Michael O’Hare needed to leave was for Sinclair/Delenn? Because I was picking up on those vibes. Hence all the frothing.

Garibaldi’s putting some pieces of this vast conspiracy together. It’s kind of funny that he’s putting the PsiCorps-related pieces together and not Ivanova, who has far more of a personal connection to PsiCorps and more of a personal reason to heavily scrutinize them. But perhaps she’ll put some pieces of her own together later that seem more personally relevant to Garibaldi’s past.

And Lizzy’s off, back to Earth! But is this the first shuttle back to Earth that Inside Guy is going to be on? If so, she is 100% a dead woman walking. I am sure that Inside Guy is going to “die” on the way by means of a catastrophic shuttle accident, or shuttle disappearance, or the ilk.

Partner was excited to exercise his MFA in poetry and tell me this poem that G’Kar reads to Na’Toth is Yates, and super, super abridged. The whole thing is very worth reading. In a weird way, I think the way they cut it for G’Kar to read makes it less impactful for the B5-verse situation. But this poem, and the edited version presented in B5, definitely suits the heaviness of a rolling tide of dark change about to crash down uncontrollably.

Things fall apart the center cannot hold mere anarchy is loosed upon the world the blood-dimmed tide is loosed and everywhere the ceremony of innocence is drowned And what rough beast its hour come round at last slouches towards Bethlehem to be born -the B5 cut

OH. Inside Guy was transferred to an unidentified “earthforce” ship. I’m glad Lizzy lived, but yeah, Inside Guy and all the physical evidence is gone. The Pres is absolutely a shady motherfucker.
