The sequence from: "what do you need me to do?" "You've already done it." Is one of the best directed, shot, and scored scenes in the whole series. Terrifying, brutal, and absolutely perfect. Its like a punch in the gut every time. There's not many fight scenes in any series that come close. The only one that springs to mind is early in season 5 of The Expanse, (vagueness to avoid spoilers) and its similar in that it also carefully doesnt show everything thats happening and that somehow makes both scenes feel so much more brutal.
Christopher Franke is actually quite a famous musician, outside of Babylon 5. He started as a member of Tangerine Dream, one of the pioneers in kraut rock and electronic music as we know it today.
This is a major episode. For those that did not realize it yet, the s**t has hit the fan. 🙂 Bester is at his finest and we see how both cruel and calculated he can be, though Edgars was giving him a run for his money. This was the highlight for me. Sheridan getting captured was just a matter of time... but I agree that it was good to see the series take another major character and have things not work out for them. He is betrayed by Garibaldi, and Susan's response towards Michael is very realistic. She knows that Garibaldi knows the entire plan and what they are up against ...and her trust issues can't endure more betrayals. 🙁 And Franklin gets to leave the station again, with Lyta... and Number One. Hard to feel sorry for Edgars and his gang, even though he did appear to care about what he was doing. JMS definitely captured the Nazi vibe with the medical experiments by Edgars and his gang on the TEEP's. At least Bester did not have Garibaldi dissected... RIP: Talia Winters. Ivanova's line/joke about "you look like a Pak'ma'ra just ate your cat" cracks me up every time... and that she delivers it with a serious face, as if it is a common phrase for the era... 😬
No Nicole alas, but still a good episode. Thanks folks. Have to wonder what the episode 1 Jessi would make of how enthusiastic she was by this point in the show?

The song in the bar scene is 'Hardly Wait' by ph Harvey, but I think the version in show is a cover by Juliette Lewis

Please tell me Nicole is here for this one! I suspect she'll have strong thoughts...
