Teague (Ta'Lon)
The
new Centauri appointed Narn government send a replacement for G'Kar while an alien probe threatens to destroy Babylon 5 unless
is gets the answers for a series of complicated scientific questions. In this
episode Vir is assigned to the Centauri embassy on Minbar. This was to give Stephen Furst some time away from the series to
star in the sitcom Misery Loves Company.
30/11/1995 Passing Through Gethsemane
Patricia
Tallman (Lyta)
One
of the monks starts having disturbing visions and realizes that his past may not be how he remembers it. Meanwhile Lyta causes
a bit of commotion when she returns from the Vorlon homeworld. This episode was
originally to appear in the second season, but had to be abandoned when the writer accidentally read a similar premise on
a newsgroup. Fortunately he was able to come to an agreement with the person who posted the message, and the episode could
be made.
01/02/1996 Voices of Authority
Delenn decides its time to try to contact some of the first ones and enlists the help of Draal, while Babylon 5 is assigned a political
officer.

Walter
Koenig (Bester)
Bester
comes to the station to track down a dealer of Dust - an illegal drug that gives normal people temporary telepathic powers.
G'Kar is also interested in the drug. He sees it as a potential weapon against the Centauri, but first he has to test it...

creature bonded to his spine. Ivanova investigates Corwin's loyalties when he receives a promotion. Watch for a long haired Carrie Dobro as Dr. Harrison in the conference room scene with Dr. Franklin. Carrie also played a Brakiri in episode: "Racing Mars" before becoming Dureena Nafeel

22/02/1996 Messages from Earth
An archeologist is brought Babylon 5 with a grave massage - a dormant Shadow ship has been found on Ganymede. It must be destroyed
before it falls into the hands of President Clark. Garibaldi's story about discovering
a Shadow ship on Mars was covered in issues 5 - 8 of the original Babylon 5 comic.
29/02/1996 Point of No Return
Marshall
Teague (Ta'Lon)
Clark has just declared marshal law, and while
Nightwatch prepare to take control of the station, Zack has to decide whose side he's on. In an exercise of bad timing, the
prophetic widow of emperor Turhan finally comes to the station, granting Londo the visit he's been begging her for for a long
time. Majel Barrett, widow of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, appeared in
this episode to show that there was no animosity between Star Trek and Babylon 5.
04/04/1996 Severed Dreams
The renegade destroyer "Alexander" arrives at Babylon 5 and Sheridan is forced to announce the station's secession from the Earth Alliance, and prepare for an attack
by Clark's forces.
Meanwhile Delenn is forced to go to Minbar when the Grey Council refuses to act upon increased Shadow activity. This episode won the 1997 Hugo for "Best Dramatic Presentation".
11/04/1996 Ceremonies of Light and Dark
William
Forward (Lord Refa)
Delenn prepares for a ceremony of rebirth, the station's computer goes through an interesting change, Londo "encourages"
Refa to stop associating with the Shadows, and the remains of the Nightwatch on Babylon 5 plan to strike at Sheridan through Delenn. While Garibaldi had a broken leg at the end of "Severed Dreams", actor Jerry Doyle actually broke his arm
the last day of shooting that episode. So in this episode it was changed to a broken arm. The song about the bones is yet
anoher homage to cult TV series "The Prisoner".
18/04/1996 Sic Transit Vir
Vir returns to Babylon 5 to find that he now has a wife and that two
Narns are out for his blood. Meanwhile Ivanova investigates the activities of the mysterious Centauri Abrahamo Linconi. The title of this episode is a pun in Latin - it translates to "thus passes man",
but the last word can also refer to Vir Cotto who has a central role in this episode. Referring to the "bug" in Londos room:
Since he said it has eight legs, it probably is not a bug or an insect, but an arachnide. Insects, also called hexapoda, have
only six legs, while arachnides (spiders, scorpions, mites etc.) have eight legs.
25/04/1996 A Late Delivery from Avalon
A mysterious man comes to Babylon 5 dressed in chainmail and armed with a sword. His name? King Arthur - Son of Uther Pendragon,

a drastic action must be taken to prevent that future.
23/05/1996 War Without End (2)
Michael
O'Hare (Ambassador Jeffrey Sinclair)
While Sheridan is unstuck in time, seeing a glimpse of a future Centauri Prime in ruins, the others continue with their plan to take
Babylon 4 back in time.
This
episode is the flip-side of the first season episode "Babylon Squared". They fit together with two exceptions - Delenn's clothes
are noticably different, and because there wasn't enough time to show Zathras being captured the way Major Krantz described
it in Squared, he is instead picked up by a security patrol in this episode.
03/10/1996 Walkabout
Patricia
Tallman (Lyta Alexander)
The new Vorlon ambassador arrives, Sheridan decides it's time to test just how effective telepaths are against the Shadow ships, and Franklin is on walkabout in Downbelow

as Kosh in this episode, he was called "Ulkesh" in the novel "To Dream in the City of Sorrows".

Star, while the fleet stands by in hyperspace. At the same, time Franklin finally has to face his problems as he lies fatally wounded in Downbelow. Melissa Gilbert is Bruce Boxleitner's real-life wife. She was offered the role of Anna Sheridan when Beth
Toussaint was unavailable.

Wasser (Morden)
After he has recovered from the shock of seeing her, Anna gives Sheridan an ultimatum - come to Z'ha'dum with her, or
