We’ve spent four seasons watching galactic events unfold from the points of view of our heroes. In this interesting episode, we get to see a special view from the perspective of “every man”, or perhaps from a few fellows who sit in what’s often referred to as “the peanut gallery”. Meet Mack and Bo, two maintenance workers on Babylon 5 who have also been witnesses to the events we’ve seen. We get to enjoy their perspectives and thoughts as the station is attacked and they are witnesses to the actions, and even some discussions, of our leaders.

In the middle of what is a significant and deadly attack, there are some heavy moments, and some light ones. We learn a few important things about the strategic importance of Jumpgates, and little but important things like the differences between salami and spoo. The question of Captain Lochley’s loyalty during the war resurfaces again, but this time through the discussions of Mack and Bo, and their perspectives are definitely interesting. The attack on B5 is finally thwarted as we cheer the return of the White Star Fleet.

As things wrap up, our two new heroes meet Delenn, twice, and their exchanges are special, as are some of the insights into the burdens of leadership and command.
