This one starts with an unexpected woman who comes with disturbing news about a Shadow ship, discovered on Mars, and another - more recently - on Ganymede. Included in this episode are: the beginning of the Book of G,Kar, of the nightmarish Night Watch, and ... most delightful (to me) movement in the dance between Sheridan and Delenn....

Sheridan finally crosses the line,...
planktonrules11 January 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Up until this episode, Sheridan has been moving towards treason, as he has recently formed a secret group of command staff who are have begun to see Earth Gov as a potential enemy! This is because over time, it's become obvious that the Earth is increasingly repressive and amoral and the President gained this position through murder and the assistance of the Shadows! But, given that they are biding their time, it is not obvious to those outside this small group that anything is amiss on B-5. However, over time, it's been increasingly difficult to do stand by while evil is being perpetrated by Earth Gov--such as their signing a non-aggression pact with the Nazi-like Centauri and outlawing free speech.
This episode shows the first overt action against Earth Gov, as the captain takes the White Star on a mission to attack an installation on one of the moons of Jupiter! That's because the Earth is secretly working on activating a Shadow ship and they feel they MUST attack before it is fully operational.
The show is pretty exciting and I felt a great sense of relief that the B-5 staff were finally doing something! Until then, you kept hearing the familiar refrain to "wait" but now the waiting, thankfully, is over and the show is beginning to accelerate into high gear!

I never watched the show when it was on or heard about the comic books so this is my first time to see it. I have been impressed with the effects and most of the stories. Comment about someone lusting bacon and eggs, after having the same meals for three years is petty and I know after that long, I would enjoy real eggs and bacon, or anything else real. I wouldn't want to have to eat military boot camp food for three years!
I'm glad I tried this show finally and so is my wife who is picky with what she watches! I hated seeing Sinclair leave but Bruce Boxleitner acting as the new commander is a wonderful replacement. I've enjoyed watching him since Scarecrow and Mrs King (for the older viewers). I can hardly wait for the finale of the series.
