Babylon 5 (TV Series) No Surrender, No Retreat (1997) User Reviews

Very much a continuation of the last episode

In the previous exciting episode, Sheridan became enraged at the atrocities being committed on civilian ships by the Earth Alliance and orders a very successful attack on the ships responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent people. This time, Sheridan continues to press the attack as his forces respond to the illegal blockade on Proxima 3. Once again, Sheridan's forces attack but first try to get the Earth Alliance ships to stand down of join him. However, just like last episode, some of the Earth ships choose to fight--with pretty predictable results. What I really liked about this, though, was how the crews of some of the Earth ships reacted--in some cases mutinying to orders of their commanders to attack! Pretty gripping action, lots of suspense and a very good episode overall.

Excellent storytelling all round.

The main story was compelling. Great action and sets the next phase of the series up. But it was the side story with Londo and G'Kar that really shined through. Having taken a bit of a break, it's great to see these two back, interacting with each other. Londo expressing contrition is a fantastic pay off - the fruit of great story telling and great acting over the previous three plus seasons. These two are the real story of B5.
