I'm visiting monanotlisa in a couple of weeks, and with me I shall take season 1 of The West Wing, and also Some Episodes of Babylon 5
( Read more... )
Spider in the Web - Has the first time Sheridan does his Conspiracy at the heart of EarthGov thing. But it can be missed.
There all the Honour Lies - Vorlon Lessons, worth it just for that.
And Now for a Word - now this does have a significant ammount of stuff, The "Psi Corps is your friend. Trust the Corps." and the Orwell stuff going on with Minipax?
Knives - is a fucking excellent episode, try and include it if you can.
But you're pretty much spot on with the bold episodes, hmmm not much help am I :) Actually go for a season and a half, by the time they get to Coming of Shadows you'll have them. Then they'll just have to buy all the seasons and watch it all :).

Isn't the conspiracy element covered in 'All Alone in the Night', with General Hague's visit? (I'm just so not a fan of this episode, I find it very dull)

Yes!

Hmmm, yes, good point...

It's big on the Londo-love, and I'm totally with that. I hope that she digs Londo as much as me... *crosses fingers*

I would show Eyes in so much as it's an excellent Ivonova and Sinclair ep and I think it shows some relevant power structure of Earth and well . . I like it.
Also, I'd show all of Legacy assuming it's the one I'm thinking of, with the little telepathic girl. If you're gonna she the ep where Talia leaves then I think you should show the Talia and Ivonova interaction in Eyes.
Errr plus, the last part of an ep just kinda sucks ^^
I'd drop Soul hunter. I never thought it was a strong ep and but I guess you need the background on th war. I don't know, if I was gonna show just any part of a en ep I think I'd just show a small part of that one.
But them i'm wierd. I'm the only person I know who liked TKO ^^ I'd strike through Deathwalker too. All it does is show that Earth is not trustworthy and neither is anyone else and the Vorlons don't want us to have immortality *yet*
Which I think is all covered elsewhere.
I just have the first season and it's been too long since I saw the second season for me to really comment ^^

It does have some excellent Psi Corps stuff, which could come in handy later... *ponders*

Oh, yeah, totally - when I sad 'last scene', I just meant I'd show the entire episode, but mainly for the last scene, not that I'd show just that one scene! The end of 'Legacies' sent up Chrysalis, so...

I was thinking - it has the Delenn "we were right about you" bit, but then that's recalled by sinclair later on in 'and the sky full of stars', so maybe we don't have to sit through it...
Drop Soul Hunter, include Born to the Purple. It is the first episode to flesh out Londo, and has so much important character stuff for him. The "washed up Republican, dreaming of better days" line. Adira, and Londo's love for her, which, you know, pretty crucial motivation for certain later events.
AND! "What do you want, you moon-faced assassin of joy?" one of the classic Londo lines. Also the first ep where Vir serves jaala to Londo and gets told he's a treasure.

See, I was worried that I had too many 'character' episodes, and that I'd end up including all of the seasons' shows... then I thought - hang on, that's the strength of B5!
I only really included Soul Hunter because of the satai and 'we were right about you' comments, but i think that they're recapped in later episodes, so.... out it goes! *fling*

In short, a must.
