The Lurker’s Guide to Babylon 5
And as I said in the recap - more Psi Corps crap.
As JMS said about this ep:
Bester is NOT a nice guy...but not everyone sees him in that light, which is why I did one episode from inside the Psi Corps this season, to show how others in the PC see him.... Even Hitler painted roses.
We see two interns shadow Bester as he goes to B5 to track down a teep gone crazy.
We see all the signs, we see Bester’s crocodile tears and hear the half-truths that Psi Corps is all about. The truth is they are an elite subgroup of humans who are sure they are much better than all other humans, who they call mundanes. Does that sound vaguely familiar? It should.
The last shot tells you all you really need to know - they space the ‘mundane’ prisoner rather than take him back to face justice for his crimes on Earth.
That’s it, all I got to say about this episode. It was filler because most of Season 5 was filler. I’d rather have watched someone rake the Zen garden for 45 minutes.
1. So what else do the motherships do? Overthrow governments? Torture rogues? They are in interplanetary waters, as it happens so they have no laws over them.
2. Multiple personality teeps? Seriously?
3. How much of what Bester/the Psi Corps said was half-truth? Do they consider being shot by Bloodhound units suicide?
4. Why did they talk so much? Why didn’t they use their minds to talk at Psi Corps?
