Niners Unite...around Babylon 5! - The Lost Threads

Oh, something else of note from Lurker's: the teep they're chasing is named "Jonathan Harris". That was the name of the contest winner of a raffle. First prize was the winner's name got to be mentioned in an episode

 

These Psi Corps motherships really unnerve me.

 

I really do hope that one day we will get to see the "Telepath War" which JMS has so often alluded to. It has excellent potential if handled properly

 

Oh and another bit of trivia that I remembered, not by reading Lurker's, but by being a geek. You guys recall what this intern Chen's last name is?

 

I always thought it was an homage to the actor who played "Dr. Smith" in the Lost In Space television show.

 

But the key is that it's used in an episode featuring Walter Koenig...

 

Check.

Now this scene with Dr. Franklin just underscores how hard it is to be at all sympathetic with Bester.

 

Zach certainly didn't have to be like that, but ... given what he knows of Bester's actions in the past ... it's hard to blame Zach.

And Bester once again proves that his arrogant chip makes it impossible for anyone to see his point of view. You get the feeling Zach really was saddened by Chen's death

 

A thought just occurred to me. In light of the previous episode, could one consider Bester's attitude and treatment of mundanes to be a sort of "eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth" response?
