Babylon 5 (TV Series) Spider in the Web (1994) User Reviews

A great idea for a story

This episode is excellent and introduces a scary yet cool idea--assassins created by SOMEONE unknown out of the dead!!! Zombie assassins--how cool can you get?! The show begins with negotiations concerning the Mars Colony. One of the representatives had been a member of the "Free Mars" rebel group and when the other party to the meetings is killed, she is a natural suspect. However, later when she is nearly murdered, things get interesting--especially when the identification of the killer is of someone reported dead years earlier!! What I particularly like is that this episode fits in very well with the overarching theme of the Shadows and the upcoming civil war. Someone is creating assassins and this plot is featured prominently in future episodes. An intriguing idea, to say the least and a very exciting episode.

Another Good One

Another good episode. Worthy, but not quite up to the standards of some of the others. It was nice to get more time exploring Talia's character though. She's on far too rarely.

This is another proof, Star Trek Discovery is a rip-off

This episode is about an obscure military Earth organisation, Bureau 13 wich uses an artificial intelligence named Control .In Discovery ,Section 31 ,the shadow organisation from Starfleet uses an A.I. named Control .They not even bother to change the name of the A.I.

this introduced a stupid idea into the Babylon 5 matrix. It also went "stupid" with a completely fallacious and juvenile breach of security on Babylon 5. The zombie assassin takes out one of the parties to a corporate meeting. Next, Miss Winters becomes the target, yet this dumb episode continues without Babylon 5 Commander and security not knowing enough to even question all three parties to the meeting and give a guard to all three as well. Then the Commander let's tell of the Black ops going, on at the height of his (poor acting) voice with the door wide open. Conclusion: Good series, but this particular episode should have never been written let alone accepted!
