The episode in which the Earth civil war is wrapped up and Marcus tells us exactly who he is.

This episode does the job of moving the story forward. Which after last week is a blessed relief.

Repeat after us: Seaon Four has twenty-one episodes. TWENTY. ONE.

Film-noir comes to the Garden of Gethsemane as Garibaldi finally betrays Sheridan.

The series anticlimax truly sets in as Franklin and Lyta deal with Shadow-influenced psychics and Garibaldi goes full noir on Mars.

The Earth civil war begins but it's a quiet moment between still-enemies that steals the scene.

If the last episode was all setup, this one is pure payoff.

This merely good, but necessary, episode sees the League of Non-Aligned Worlds played for a laugh as well as the return of Neroon.

Even in this boring, tedious episode, the truths of B5 -- Ivanova's the best and Garibaldi's just the worst -- remain. And, for some reason, there's Invader Zim.

We're deep in the oatmeal of Season Four as a bunch of stuff happens to people. It's fine.
