After the intensity of the last episode, and the end of the war, we see things wrapping up. Marcus is dying and his final moments show some of Claudia Christian’s (Ivanova) best performances in the series. Sheridan is a full participant in what must come next for him, and showing us all the integrity we’ve grown fond of, ensures the right thing is done. What is left of the system is strained and bruised, and John holds himself accountable in addition to allowing the fragile and recovering system to deal with him. And in the mix of what feels like a long and heavy episode, we get a few light moments courtesy of Londo and G’Kar.
We hear little lessons in the differences between politics and action, and doing the right thing in the wrong way, and amidst all that, it becomes clear that there’s a greater plan at work for the Babylon 5 Resistance, with Delenn a significant planner and/or leader in the effort. We watch as the plan unfolds, knowing it must be significant when it includes things like a deliberate revelation to all of the existence of the Rangers.
As the episode (and arguably the season) draws to a close, we enjoy some warm moments with John, Delenn and John’s dad. We also enjoy the satisfaction of knowing the things we’ve watched for many seasons will end well, as new things begin: “The dawn of a new age for everyone!” But don’t relax too much: the door that opens in front of our heroes comes with it’s own new set of struggles, including the foreshadowing of a future telepath war and Drakh war. But Babylon 5 endures…
