Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBabylon 5 (1993) Executive Producer J. Michael Straczynski had been musing on story ideas when he pondered what Adolf Hitler (if he were still alive) could possibly offer to stave off prosecution for mass murder. The only thing that seemed plausible was an immortality serum. This idea was transformed into the story, Deathwalker.
- GoofsWhen confronted by Ambassador Kalika and the other representatives of the League of Non-Aligned Worlds, Commander Sinclair says that he has orders to transport Jha'Dur to Earth and that he couldn't disobey those orders. In truth, he could disregard the order since it had come from Senator Hidoshi. A senator is not part of the military command hierarchy and cannot issue orders to officers in Earthforce (as Captain Sheridan pointed out in the episode "Point of No Return"). Only a superior officer or the Commander In Chief could do that.

Featured review
A war criminal arrives on Babylon 5
As this episode opens G'Kar's attaché Na'Toth viciously attacks an alien who has just arrived on the station. She claims her victim is Jha'Dur, known as Deathwalker; a warrior-scientist who caused countless deaths in the course of her experiments. At first it is thought this woman can't be Deathwalker as she is too young but when she regains consciousness she confirms who she is. We also learn that she has made a medical breakthrough and most of the major civilisations want to get their hands on her and her discovery... much to the chagrin of the nonaligned worlds who were her main victims. Away from this main story Ambassador Kosh has hired Talia Winters assist in a negotiation; it is very strange; she sees nothing when she attempts to scan the other party and they talk in a way that makes no apparent sense.
This was a solid episode that raised interesting moral questions as each of the main races on Babylon 5 has a reason to protect Deathwalker; some want her work and another doesn't want to acknowledge that they had been sheltering her. I liked how the character is entirely unsympathetic so it is clear that anybody helping her is acting out of self-interest. Sarah Douglas does a fine job in the role. Tensions raise nicely when the Nonaligned Worlds disagree with the council's initial discussion. It was nice to see more of these minor worlds' characters. Without giving any details it is safe to say the finale is both surprising and most satisfying. The subplot involving Talia was also intriguing; the Vorlons remain the series' most mysterious species.
