Plot Points
|
|
|
|
* Clark's ship commanders have been convinced that if they surrender
|
|
to Sheridan, they'll be killed and their crews replaced by
|
|
Minbari. Perceiving they have nothing to lose, they are therefore
|
|
willing to fight the rebel forces to the death.
|
|
* Sheridan has been captured by Clark's forces. Garibaldi personally
|
|
sprung the trap, which earned him a commendation from ISN and
|
|
condemnation from Ivanova: she has ordered B5's personnel to shoot
|
|
him on sight.
|
|
* Ivanova is now in command of the rebel fleet, and has vowed to
|
|
keep up the fight with or without Sheridan.
|
|
* Sheridan's old ship, the Agamemnon ([23]"Points of Departure") has
|
|
joined the rebel fleet. (See [24]Notes)
|
|
* The telepath virus described by Wade and Lise in [25]"Conflicts of
|
|
Interest" is indeed real, as is the drug to suppress it -- but the
|
|
virus was developed by Edgars' company. It is airborne, 100%
|
|
contagious, and completely harmless to normals. Telepaths have to
|
|
take the cure every two weeks, or they'll die. Edgars' plan was to
|
|
release it on Earth and use control of the cure to effectively
|
|
enslave all the telepaths, preventing them from ever gaining the
|
|
upper hand over normals. Bester believes the virus was developed
|
|
with the help of the Shadows, who had a vested interest in wiping
|
|
out telepaths.
|
|
* When Justin told Sheridan that the Shadows wouldn't kill him
|
|
because someone else would come along and take his place
|
|
([26]"Z'ha'dum") he had specific people in mind: Delenn, Ivanova
|
|
and Garibaldi. The Shadows decided that given his innate paranoia,
|
|
Garibaldi would be easiest to cause to turn away from Sheridan's
|
|
cause, thus sabotaging the Army of Light in Sheridan's absence.
|
|
The Psi Corps was given the assignment of programming Garibaldi.
|
|
They took him to a secret facility on Mars, where Bester
|
|
intervened and added some programming of his own.
|
|
Bester was aware that some kind of action was being planned
|
|
against the Corps, but he didn't know what or by whom. Given
|
|
Garibaldi's proven track record at ferreting out conspiracies,
|
|
Bester instructed his colleagues to leave Garibaldi's personality
|
|
largely intact, and to accentuate his natural sense of paranoia
|
|
and distrust. Garibaldi's resignation was an unexpected bonus that
|
|
put him in a perfect position to infiltrate Edgars' organization.
|
|
Garibaldi's mission was to gather information about the threat to
|
|
the Psi Corps if the opportunity arose, then signal Bester.
|
|
* Bester has removed Garibaldi's programming, leaving him with full
|
|
memory of what was done to him and what he's done to Sheridan.
|
|
* Bester's people have murdered Edgars and Wade and may have taken
|
|
the virus. Lise's whereabouts are unknown.
|
|
* The Corps has engaged in clandestine operations in the past. While
|
|
Lyta was interning with the Psi Cops ([27]"Divided Loyalties")
|
|
someone started murdering telepaths. The Corps engaged in illegal
|
|
scans of civilians, and eventually found the killer. Rather than
|
|
simply kill him, they twisted his mind. According to Lyta, he's
|
|
now in a cell in a secret facility on Beta 2, straitjacketed 24
|
|
hours a day to keep him from clawing out his own eyes to stop the
|
|
nightmare visions only he can see.
|
|
* The Corps has gone even further with the establishment of
|
|
"bloodhound units," special undercover detachments of the Earth
|
|
military who are accompanied by telepaths. Their mission is to
|
|
perform random scans of the public and arrest any members of the
|
|
resistance they come across.
|
|
* Lyta believes there's likely to be a war between telepaths and
|
|
mundanes some day, when word of such operations gets out and the
|
|
trust the Corps has managed to build up evaporates as a result.
|
|
|
|
Unanswered Questions
|
|
|
|
* Where is Lise?
|
|
* What does Bester plan to do with the virus, assuming he has it?
|
|
* Does Franklin know the full extent of Sheridan's plans for the
|
|
frozen telepaths, and can he carry them out with Sheridan out of
|
|
the picture?
|
|
* Why didn't Franklin detect Garibaldi's false tooth during his
|
|
medical exams?
|
|
* Now that Ivanova is leading the fleet, will she continue her Voice
|
|
of the Resistance broadcasts?
|
|
* Is the Agamemnon's defection to the resistance what it seems?
|
|
|
|
Analysis
|
|
|
|
* The resolution of the battle between Sheridan and Clark's forces
|
|
points out what may be Sheridan's most potent weapon against
|
|
Clark: not White Stars or superior strategy, but the presence of
|
|
previously loyal human commanders who lend credibility to the
|
|
rebel cause.
|
|
* The White Stars appear to have adapted to Earth's weapons; a hit
|
|
from an Earth heavy cruiser only disables a White Star until the
|
|
auto-repair systems come online. Even without the defection of so
|
|
many Earth ships, Ivanova is in command of an unstoppable military
|
|
force.
|
|
* Sheridan told the Agamemnon's captain that the rebel forces had
|
|
lost some battles, but had kept the news to themselves. ("We've
|
|
lost a few. We just made damned sure nobody heard about it.") How
|
|
is that possible? Wouldn't Clark jump at the chance to spread news
|
|
of victory over Sheridan's forces? And for that matter, would
|
|
Ivanova participate in covering up any losses, given her
|
|
insistence on telling the truth in her Voice of the Resistance
|
|
broadcasts? ([28]"Rumors, Bargains and Lies")
|
|
Perhaps Sheridan simply has a more specific definition of
|
|
"victory" than most other people. He didn't seem to consider the
|
|
outcome of the Proxima 3 battle a victory ([29]"No Surrender, No
|
|
Retreat") so perhaps he'd consider it a loss if he wound up having
|
|
to fight Clark's forces to the death.
|
|
Or maybe Sheridan wasn't referring to his current campaign, but
|
|
was speaking in general of his military career.
|
|
* Sheridan demonstrated a lack of caution in this episode, first
|
|
going over to the Agamemnon on a moment's notice (it could easily
|
|
have been sent by Clark as a trap) then agreeing to go to Mars by
|
|
himself. He even walked straight into a public place without
|
|
attempting to obscure his face, which has no doubt been featured
|
|
daily on ISN. That can be seen as evidence of what Garibaldi
|
|
referred to as a "God complex" -- Sheridan appears to have
|
|
disregarded his own fallibility.
|
|
It's possible that this stems in part from the glimpse of his own
|
|
future in [30]"War Without End, Part Two," which might lead
|
|
Sheridan to believe that no matter what he does now, he'll be
|
|
alive and free in 17 years.
|
|
* Sheridan's capture was similar to G'Kar's in [31]"Whatever
|
|
Happened to Mr. Garibaldi?" Both of them left a place of relative
|
|
safety to try to rescue someone they cared about, and both were
|
|
captured by a regime that was oppressing their people. Both were
|
|
tortured after capture.
|
|
* The Agamemnon, according to its captain, had been modified to
|
|
track Sheridan's forces down. What, specifically, were the
|
|
modifications? And more importantly, how likely is it that Clark
|
|
would equip a ship specifically to seek Sheridan out without being
|
|
very sure of its loyalty?
|
|
The Agamemnon would make a perfect plant. Clark's people might
|
|
have figured that Sheridan's emotional attachment to it would
|
|
likely prompt him to put it in a position of trust, all the better
|
|
to sabotage Sheridan's efforts at a critical juncture. Of course,
|
|
Ivanova isn't biased toward trusting the Agamemnon, but at the
|
|
time the Agamemnon was sent out to find the rebel fleet, Clark had
|
|
no idea Sheridan's capture was imminent.
|
|
Its arrival just after the battle was also very convenient; its
|
|
captain could claim to be joining up with the rebels without
|
|
actually having to fire on Clark's forces. If it had indeed been
|
|
chasing after Sheridan for weeks, emerging from hyperspace at just
|
|
that moment was quite a coincidence.
|
|
* Was the Agamemnon's captain the one in command when it fired on
|
|
the White Star? ([32]"Messages From Earth")
|
|
* The Agamemnon has been involved in skirmishes with raiders near
|
|
Io. Who are the raiders? Are the Drakh ([33]"Lines of
|
|
Communication") encroaching on Earth's territory? Or are the
|
|
raiders simply opportunists out to take advantage of Sheridan's
|
|
campaign and its likely effect of drawing Earth forces away from
|
|
their home system?
|
|
* The Shadows were apparently right about Ivanova; she is indeed
|
|
taking Sheridan's place, just as Bester says they feared.
|
|
* Bester's manipulation of Garibaldi was foreshadowed in [34]"Dust
|
|
to Dust." Bester told Garibaldi, "I enjoyed working with you. We
|
|
made a good team. Perhaps we'll do it again sometime."
|
|
It was also foreshadowed, if obliquely, in [35]"Divided
|
|
Loyalties," in which Garibaldi _pretended_ to have a personality
|
|
implant, if only as a joke.
|
|
And before then, ironically, in [36]"The Quality of Mercy," Talia
|
|
and Garibaldi shared a moment of mutual foreshadowing when she
|
|
said to him, "Things that live inside us, Mr. Garibaldi. Terrible
|
|
things. Terrible."
|
|
* Bester referred to the Corps as "my telepaths." This echoes his
|
|
comment to Ivanova in [37]"Ship of Tears" that he had plans for
|
|
Earth's telepaths and didn't want the Shadows interfering.
|
|
Apparently he considers himself responsible for Earth's telepaths,
|
|
even if he's not officially in charge of the Corps.
|
|
* Did Bester's people get the virus? It's possible Lise took it when
|
|
she fled Edgars' compound. She wanted Garibaldi to help her stop
|
|
him, and taking the virus would be a big step in that direction.
|
|
Of course, that's assuming she could get to it; the Psi Cops could
|
|
presumably take control of Edgars and force him to use the
|
|
handprint reader, but Lise would have had a harder time getting to
|
|
the vials.
|
|
Garibaldi did see blast marks around the secret compartment,
|
|
though, suggesting that it was opened by force.
|
|
* The ISN broadcast showed investigators picking up a necklace from
|
|
the floor of Edgars' residence. That necklace, or one like it, was
|
|
being worn by Lise when she listened in on Edgars' conversation
|
|
with Garibaldi, suggesting she was in the room after Edgars and
|
|
Garibaldi left.
|
|
* Bester's supposition that the virus was developed with the help of
|
|
Shadow technology is consistent with the courier's claim in
|
|
[38]"Conflicts of Interest" that coming up with the cure was a job
|
|
beyond the capabilities of Earth's biologists, and that alien help
|
|
had been enlisted.
|
|
* If Bester is right about the Shadows helping create the virus, it
|
|
means Edgars was in contact with the Shadows, even if indirectly.
|
|
And indeed, Edgars and Wade seemed to espouse something like the
|
|
Shadow philosophy: the enslavement of normals by telepaths or vice
|
|
versa was a natural consequence of evolution.
|
|
* References to the Nazis abound: Edgars described his plan as a
|
|
solution to "the telepath problem," an echo of Hitler's "Jewish
|
|
problem." Bester told Garibaldi that he had just prevented a
|
|
Holocaust. Edgars even referred to the Nazis directly, though he
|
|
misspoke a date; he claimed they came to power in 1939, but in
|
|
fact Hitler was appointed Chancellor in 1933.
|
|
* Garibaldi's line about the last person with his job being paid 30
|
|
pieces of silver is a [39]Biblical reference. Judas was paid 30
|
|
pieces of silver to betray Jesus to the Romans. Even under the
|
|
influence of his altered personality, Garibaldi apparently has
|
|
moral qualms about betraying Sheridan.
|
|
* After Edgars told Garibaldi the full extent of his plans, Wade
|
|
told Garibaldi he wouldn't be allowed to leave Edgars' compound.
|
|
The implication was that any passing telepath (e.g. one of the
|
|
"bloodhound units") would be able to scan Garibaldi and learn
|
|
about the virus.
|
|
Why, then, was Wade allowed to travel to Babylon 5, and stay there
|
|
to recruit Garibaldi? Was Wade unaware of the big picture until
|
|
his return to Mars? The laboratory scene near the end of [40]"The
|
|
Exercise of Vital Powers" doesn't give the impression that Wade
|
|
just found out what Edgars was up to; he seemed to have witnessed
|
|
similar experiments in the past.
|
|
Perhaps Wade was drugged or brainwashed in some way that made him
|
|
more difficult to scan or that caused him to believe the story he
|
|
told Garibaldi in [41]"Conflicts of Interest."
|
|
* Bester's release of Garibaldi was, in some ways, an act of
|
|
arrogance; in essence, Bester was saying that he didn't consider
|
|
Garibaldi a threat. Given Garibaldi's determination in the past,
|
|
he'll likely seek revenge or justice, and he won't rest until he
|
|
has it.
|
|
* Despite Bester's apparently accurate warning that Garibaldi's old
|
|
comrades wouldn't want to have anything to do with him any more,
|
|
Garibaldi did try to get in touch with Babylon 5. How will he be
|
|
able to prove his story to them, and prove that he's no longer
|
|
under Bester's influence? One obvious answer is to submit to a
|
|
scan by Lyta, whose Vorlon-enhanced powers appear to far exceed
|
|
Bester's. She would easily be able to verify Garibaldi's story,
|
|
and her word might be enough to convince the others.
|
|
Edgars' order to Garibaldi to fire Lyta ([42]"Moments of
|
|
Transition") may, ironically, have been his downfall. If Edgars
|
|
hadn't forced Garibaldi to get rid of her, she might have
|
|
eventually detected Bester's handiwork and removed it, and Edgars
|
|
would still be alive.
|
|
* Why didn't Edgars release the virus? What was he waiting for? In
|
|
[43]"The Exercise of Vital Powers," he seemed satisfied that the
|
|
virus worked, and even asked that a test of its effectiveness be
|
|
terminated.
|
|
Since his aim was to control the telepaths, not simply wipe them
|
|
out, perhaps he needed to wait until he had enough of the cure
|
|
manufactured to supply to millions of victims.
|
|
Edgars said he was waiting for Clark to drop his guard, but it's
|
|
not clear what difference that would have made; Clark's level of
|
|
paranoia would presumably have little effect on the spread of the
|
|
virus and the demise of the telepaths.
|
|
* Edgars' plans didn't amount to anything in the end. He was the
|
|
only known credible threat to the Psi Corps. Now that he's dead
|
|
and the Corps has control of his weapon against them, and Ivanova
|
|
is continuing the rebel advance even in the face of Sheridan's
|
|
capture, Edgars' fear of Clark panicking and giving increasing
|
|
amounts of control to the Psi Corps may well become a reality.
|
|
Of course, Sheridan may have anticipated that problem, and the
|
|
frozen telepaths may be his answer.
|
|
* In [44]"The Exercise of Vital Powers," Edgars implied that there
|
|
were other powerful megacorps dissatisfied with Clark, and that
|
|
his company was one of several planning to move against the
|
|
government. Will any of the others act now that Edgars is out of
|
|
the picture?
|
|
* The problem may have gotten even worse thanks to Edgars: if the
|
|
Corps has the virus, they'll presumably spend a good deal of
|
|
effort studying it. The virus selects its victims via the presence
|
|
of the telepathy genes. Developing that selectivity from scratch
|
|
may have required the aid of the Shadows, but it might not be
|
|
beyond Earth's biotechnology to use it as a blueprint and produce
|
|
a modified version that selects for the _lack_ of the telepathy
|
|
gene -- thus giving the Corps the same power over normals that
|
|
Edgars wanted to gain over telepaths.
|
|
Or the Corps could use the virus to cement its own control over
|
|
all human telepaths. By releasing the virus and only giving the
|
|
cure to members of the Corps, they'd eliminate the problem of
|
|
rogue telepaths overnight. Latent telepaths like Ivanova would no
|
|
longer be able to hide themselves from the Corps.
|
|
* Bester could possibly also use the virus on Lyta; death by the
|
|
virus might be considered natural causes under the terms of her
|
|
contract ([45]"Moments of Transition.") Of course, such an
|
|
operation would be very risky, since Lyta would be contagious.
|
|
* Assuming Edgars kept detailed personnel records, the police will
|
|
most likely look to Garibaldi as a prime suspect in the murders.
|
|
Lise might also be a suspect. Both of them disappeared suddenly at
|
|
the time of the murder, and given their past history, the police
|
|
might conclude that Edgars' murder was a crime of passion
|
|
committed by two old lovers who wanted to be together again.
|
|
* The bloodhound units may have been in evidence before this
|
|
episode. In [46]"Conflicts of Interest," the two telepaths chasing
|
|
Garibaldi, Wade and Lise seemed to fit the description pretty
|
|
well. And, more speculatively, they could have been the ones to
|
|
plant the Keeper on Captain Jack in [47]"Racing Mars," since they
|
|
presumably would have had little trouble learning of his personal
|
|
association with Number One.
|
|
* Lyta's description of the Corps' treatment of the murderer is
|
|
strikingly similar to her threat to Londo in [48]"Passing Through
|
|
Gethsemane." Perhaps she was present when the murderer was
|
|
implanted and knows firsthand how to do such things. Maybe she was
|
|
even involved in the process; that could be the secret about her
|
|
Bester threatened to reveal in [49]"Epiphanies."
|
|
* Number One said that when Lyta passed through Mars a year and a
|
|
half earlier ([50]"Divided Loyalties") she made no mention of
|
|
being a telepath on the run from the Corps. That's inconsistent
|
|
with Lyta's story in that episode. She told Sheridan and the
|
|
others at that time that she'd been helping out the resistance,
|
|
and implied that they'd hired her for her telepathic skills.
|
|
* Number One apparently really _does_ treat all her former lovers
|
|
like she treated Phillipe ([51]"Lines of Communication.")
|
|
|
|
Notes
|
|
|
|
* Harlan Ellison has a cameo appearance in this episode. He's the
|
|
Psi Cop Bester instructs to alter Garibaldi's personality.
|
|
* Bester's parting salute to Garibaldi, "Be seeing you," is a
|
|
reference to the 60s TV show "The Prisoner." Bester first used the
|
|
salute in [52]"Mind War."
|
|
* Garibaldi is now missing a molar.
|
|
* The appearance of the Agamemnon contradicts the attack scene at
|
|
the end of [53]"Moments of Transition," in which the Agamemnon can
|
|
be seen attacking civilian targets. However, as JMS noted in
|
|
response to comments on that episode, the use of the Agamemnon was
|
|
a slipup on the part of the production team.
|
|
* The Cadmus, the ship that surrendered to Sheridan and MacDougan,
|
|
is named after a mythological hero. Cadmus slew a dragon, and when
|
|
he sowed the dragon's teeth, a race of warriors sprang from the
|
|
ground.
|
|
* This is the series' second attack on someone using a skin tab. The
|
|
first was the poisoning of Kosh in [54]"The Gathering."
|
|
* The Sheridan fight scene, shot in slow motion, was interspersed by
|
|
editor David Foster with shots taken by still photographer Byron
|
|
Cohen, who does most of the B5 publicity stills sent out to TV
|
|
stations.
|
|
* The shot of Garibaldi shown on the ISN broadcast is from the
|
|
season-three opening credits.
|
|
|
|
jms speaks
|
|
|
|
* I agree that it's probably one of the best we've done. I've now
|
|
watched it at least a dozen times in finished form, and it still
|
|
works for me.
|
|
* One thing I've been doing with the latter part of season 4 is to
|
|
experiment a little more, try different things. I feel that we
|
|
need to push visually to try new things, the sort of visual
|
|
techniques you don't see much in SF-TV, which for the most part is
|
|
fairly prosaic as these things go. And to push the writing, to try
|
|
some things that may succeed, or may fail, but you learn something
|
|
either way. In its way, next week's ep is just as experimental,
|
|
but in a very different direction.
|
|
Mike Vejar definitely did a great job with this episode.
|
|
* Zimbalist did a great job for us...he took huge gobs of exposition
|
|
and not only delivered them, he made them interesting.
|
|
* _Was he a fan of the show?_
|
|
Nope, just figured he'd be great for the job, and cast him without
|
|
audition. He didn't know anything about the show before that.
|
|
* _What was the shimmering wall Sheridan stood near on the White
|
|
Star bridge?_
|
|
Those were the autorepair systems at work.
|
|
* ""The Face of the Enemy" might represent the flipside of young
|
|
Delenn's claim in "Atonement" that the most dangerous enemy is the
|
|
one you know nothing about. Now the face of the enemy is the one
|
|
you know all too well, one which you take for granted until it's
|
|
revealed that the face is actually a mask."
|
|
Yep. It's one thing facing implacable, vast enemies...it's quite
|
|
another when you friend betrays you. That's personal.
|
|
* There isn't that much direct, personal violence in the show. My
|
|
feeling is that if you do that a lot, it loses any potential for
|
|
impact. You only pull out that card when you really need it, to
|
|
best effect...don't waste it. It's like harsh language, after
|
|
you've heard someone going on using all the more remarkable
|
|
Anglo-Saxon words for a while, it loses all impact.
|
|
* "I thought the fight was a bit too long for much the same reason
|
|
as you. All I can suggest is that John's metabolism isn't "normal"
|
|
any more, and perhaps this had an effect. (And maybe the bullyboys
|
|
were doing less damage than we think, simply to prolong the
|
|
"fun".)"
|
|
1) It was for dramatic/stylistic effect. Not everything done with
|
|
some style has to have a scientific explanation.
|
|
2) Having been mugged myself, time expands and slows down.
|
|
3) It's the TV cliche that fights are over in a second. Ask anyone
|
|
who's ever been in a real knock-down fight. It goes on a heck of a
|
|
lot longer than we showed here. When I got mugged it went on for
|
|
10 minutes.
|
|
One of the ironies in other messages on this (not this one here
|
|
specifically) is that some have noted the fast-paced editing,
|
|
which is supposedly associated with music video/short attention
|
|
span material...and then turn around and say it wasn't over fast
|
|
enough.
|
|
* _Was Lyta's story the secret from her past alluded to by Bester in
|
|
[55]"Epiphanies?"_
|
|
No, Franklin's comment to Lyta didn't involve her past, though we
|
|
will find out more about that in a bit.
|
|
* _Was Bester's salute a "Prisoner" reference?_
|
|
Nope, not a Prisoner homage at all, in any way.
|
|
* _Why mess Edgars' place up so thoroughly?_
|
|
They wanted it to look like it was done by the Resistance; too
|
|
much "attention" to his death would've drawn attention to the
|
|
Corps.
|
|
* Wade specificially says Lise wasn't there when they got back, so
|
|
that eliminates her from the scenario.
|
|
* _Why haven't the other races had conflict between their telepaths
|
|
and their normals?_
|
|
Obviously some, like the Minbari, dealt with it more easily than
|
|
others; and in some places it came through Vorlon interference,
|
|
while in others it came about naturally.
|
|
* "Wade had a great line about the clash of homo sapiens and
|
|
Neanderthals in Carthage. Was this line inspired by some of the
|
|
recent Neanderthal finds? Or was this part of your orignial
|
|
conception for the story?"
|
|
Not recent stuff, just a general knowledge of this area.
|
|
"Did Edgars really believe the Earthgov propaganda that Sheridan
|
|
was operating under the malignant influence of aliens?
|
|
Nope.
|
|
"Is Bester really done with Garibaldi?"
|
|
For the moment.
|
|
"One of the captains of the Earth vessels is named Leo Frank. Was
|
|
this a deliberate historical reference?"
|
|
Not intentionally.
|
|
"Franklin and Number One seem to have cooled their relationship.
|
|
Any further developments in the works here?"
|
|
Any more personal stuff got set aside when Franklin showed up a)
|
|
with another female, and b) she was a teep. When #1 calms down,
|
|
they might take another shot at it.
|
|
"Lastly, there is a bit of irony in the fact that the stage for
|
|
Sheridan's capture is set when he steps aboard his old ship, the
|
|
Agamemnon. Agamemnon was the supreme commander of the Greek forces
|
|
at Troy, who survived that long war, but who was betrayed and
|
|
murdered by his wife when he returned home. He blindly and
|
|
arrogantly stepped into a trap, as Sheridan also seemed to do."
|
|
Yeah...that's one of many reasons why I picked that
|
|
image/reference. It plays on a LOT of levels in the story.
|
|
* _Wasn't Edgars' complex guarded to keep people from leaving
|
|
without permission?_
|
|
If anybody could slip away, Garibaldi could.
|
|
* _Ivanova quoted Sheridan as saying, "The person is expendable. The
|
|
job is not." But in fact, it was Sinclair who said that, in
|
|
[56]"War Without End."_
|
|
But then, if I did everything perfectly, wouldn't it be boring?
