They're BACK!
planktonrules23 January 2007
Warning: Spoilers
After being apparently dead for a few episodes, Sheridan re-appears at B-5 along with his new friend, Lorien and frankly, everyone is dumbfounded that he's alive. Not only did he survive a nuclear blast (no small feat) but he's the first to return from Z'Ha'Dum--something all the other races assumed was impossible. As a result, a cult-like following of Sheridan develops and greatly energizes the resistance.

In addition to Sheridan, Garibaldi is re-captured and brought to B-5. In a bit of a story hole, no one seemed all that suspicious that it was so fortuitous that he was re-captured so easily AND they didn't seem too suspicious when his personality changed so radically concerning Sheridan. Previously he'd been one of the Captain's biggest fans, but now he has a pathological hatred and distrust for him. Sure, they didn't see evidence of brain surgery, but OBVIOUSLY something was amiss!!! And the fact that it took everyone so long to admit this and realize that Garibaldi's brain was tampered with was a it of a credibility stretch.

All in all, a very good and important episode, but not without a few minor disappointments.

YES! Some amazing moments and developments occur here, propelling the story forward in a great and worthy fashion. Loved the Sheridelenn scene (finally another real kiss after all that face hugging nonsense) as well as the ending with G'Kar. Can't wait for the next episode!
