John Sheridan has been framed for a crime he didn’t commit. No, he’s not a member of The A-Team , but he’s still answering for what he did as a soldier. Later, he has a Vorlon moment.

(Originally Aired on April 26, 1995)

Written by Peter David
Directed by Mike Laurence Vejar

Kosh and the Art of Space Station Maintenance
Ivanova: Welcome to Babylon 5: the last best hope for a quick buck.

Sheridan: Commander.

Ivanova: This is deameaning. I mean, we're not some deep space franchise. This station is about something.

Kosh: One moment of perfect beauty.

Ivanova: Another lesson? What this time?

Sheridan: Beauty. . .in the dark.

Ivanova: Ah, must be working. You're beginning to talk just like a Vorlon

WATCH OUT FOR

Masks, with or without. The scene in the Babylon 5 emporium underscores that masks can make us see things as they are not. Caitlin Brown wore such a mask for the first season of the show when she played Na’Toth. See her without the mask and make-up here as lawyer Guinevere Corey.

The fate of cute and cuddly. Series creator J. Michael Straczynski wrote the scene in which the Bab-bear-lon stuffed animal is found in space. He also added the scene where Kosh’s lesson is presented.

ANALYSIS

Kosh as Zen master
takes the fighter of legends
to place Downbelow

sees "beauty in the dark"
even among the shadows

what phenomena
occur outside viewing range,
unguessed wonders all?

the trick? to see what is there
in the Vorlon minute- now

gold insignia
given to hooded chanters
echoes Z’ha’dum

life and death and then rebirth
all amid dear prices paid

can Minbari lie?
Ashon sets up the Captain
with missing com-link

Starkiller showed no honor
tricking Black Star in battle

Sheridan’s career,
over before it’s begun,
saved by Lennier

but no one will ever know:
conspiracies of silence

Guinevere Corey
unwanted legal advice
first Na’Toth returns

"Drazi" really a human
"human" really a Markab

humans and aliens
mix and mingle on board,
go about business

make a buck, make a ducat
support the home team somehow

gift from writer’s wife--
Bab-bear-lon--
spaced by jms

no place for the cute
in this world’s reality

Londo doll is not
anatomically correct:
lacks his attributes

his greatness must be seen by
all as it really, truly is

his attache must be
of noble Centauri house
Vir will do just fine.

assistants do what is right
leaders must learn what is true

Babylon 5--
our last, best hope
for enlightenment

COMING UP NEXT
‘And Now For a Word’

ISN visits
and shows "the truth" of B5.
"Trust The Corps" flashes.
