    Wayne Alexander (Sebastian) does such a great job. The production crew must have agreed as the actor comes back multiple times throughout the series in prosthetics makeup playing different characters. A fun game to play for the rest of the series is "spot Wayne Alexander."

      What people complained about was that in the initial version, East End and West End had been mixed up. They corrected that by re-dubbing for later versions.

    Wayne A. who played Jack, also played a wide array of aliens on B5. He has been many of the guest ambassadors and plays a key roll later that I wish not to spoil. Like Andre, I believe he is a Shakespearian.

    Comes the Inquisitor is one of the BEST episodes (IMO)! It get "propelled" by the strength of its guest star, but also has such great scenes elsewhere.
    The G'kar/ Garabaldi scene is one of my favorites. (Garabaldi being my favorite character.)

    What a great actor Wayne Alexander is, and what great lines JMS wrote for him. To make you like him, then hate him, then like him, then hate him, the like him and each time have it be believable! It’s one of my favorite performances (but there are many other greats coming up).
    I don’t care how you pronounce the name, Zagreb or Zathras, I’m glad you liked him. He’s a really great character! Actually I do care how you pronounce the name, but not for the reasons you might think. 😊

    Something that I loved about the episode was that it's a self contained 'bottle' episode but what it says about the Vorlons is surprising and worrying. They're supposed to be the good guys but they have Jack the freaking Ripper on their payroll.

    Oooh! Wayne Alexander. What a beautiful piece of acting.
    Yeah, this is one of my favourite episodes, certainly near the top od season 2 episoders.
    "Known only as Jack" ... Yeah, it had to be him, with all the clues.
    The elevator scene with Vir and G'Kar, it's just such a great piece of theatre.
    JMS likes theatrical (and I mean it in the best possible way), and the scenes with Delenn and Sebastian, just two actors in the room, is spectacular.
    I love this one,

    Sebastian was many things, but an hypocrite wasn't one of them. He was suited as an inquisitor exactly because he had the mistake of mistaking ego with a calling. If those he interrogated started behaving like he did in London, he'd know they weren't the ones needed.
    He didn't think he was better than Delenn, his quest was completed when he found people that were the genuine article, who he recognized as being what he, himself, once thought he was.
    He let Delenn go when he concluded that she was better than him.

    Did you watch either Doctor Who or Black Mirror recently? That's both places I picked up Rasputin lately, lol. Glad to see you back. This is one of the artful inklings we get that the old ones no matter what side have no issue using the irredeemable to achieve their ends. I've spent years wondering - did Sebastian meet with their approval because he never felt he needed his deeds to be attributed to his name? Or are we hearing his regret that he never got that attribution? He very much thought he was doing the right thing. He just happened to be a vicious serial killer. I love this episode. It's dark as hell.

    Pretty weird episode for B5, and yet it's exactly what one can expect from B5. The main part is the inquisitor, Jack the Ripper, trying to understand if Delenn and Sheridan understand their position and what they should be doing. But then the other parts, G'Kar isn't done fighting, Vir is heartbroken, and this might have been exactly the reality check he needed. G'Kar doesn't hate Vir, but he hates what he represents and who he works for. And it's pretty low budget, so you know the next episode gonna be big :)
