This is the final episode of season one of BABYLON 5--and as such, is the last episode to feature Commander Sinclair (Michael O'Hare) in the lead--though he did come back for a couple guest starring appearances. If someone were going to create a "cliff hanger" episode to wrap up the season and excite the fans to tune in next season, this would be about as good as it gets. This is one of the fastest-paced and frantic episodes of the year, as hugely important plots are battling for screen time. And, to top it all off, something strange but uncertain is going on with Delenn. She has asked that Sinclair meet her before something "very important" happens and he promises to be there. However, so much is happening on the ship that he is unable to stop by her quarters when she requested. As the episode ends, she has cocooned herself into a giant chrysalis and Sinclair is too late to see her. And, naturally, fans are eagerly wondering WHAT is going on inside that weird shell? Fascinating and well-written.
