"In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king." - Desiderius Erasmus

Another episode about Byron - this time he decides to spy on all the ambassadors and use the info to blackmail them into giving him and his teeps a homeworld. Well, that doesn’t work out so well, when all those ‘peaceful’ telepaths resort to violence. Sheridan rescinds his protection and orders Byron’s arrest. To be honest, spacing the whole lot is what I wanted done with them.

Also we see Centauri ships attacking ships, like the raiders did, but they steal nothing and leave no survivors.

The new go to Centauri Prime, where we see the last of our Londo… and we meet the ones who put the Keeper on the Regent. It is the last time we will see Londo as a free man. It was fun to see how upset the others were by G’kar!

Questions:

1. Did you feel sorry for Byron and his telepaths?
2. Did you figure out who the raiders were?
3. Did you think Byron’s scheme to get a homeworld would work?
4. Did you have a sense of foreboding when Londo and G’kar left for Centauri Prime, given that we know how Londo dies?
5. Do you think John running the Alliance out of B5 is problematic, especially for the regular staff on the station, like Zack and Captain Lochley? How easy will it be for them to meet, though, one John and Delenn are on Minbar?
