Wow, thanks. I always liked when newcomers commented on B5 and Farscape, so I thought I'd return the favor here. Most everyone is being really good about marking spoilers, so I'm enjoying discovering the show, jotting down what I think of episodes, and then seeing what fans have to say.

"I'm talkin' about friendship. I'm talkin' about character. I'm talkin' about…hell Leo I ain't embarrassed to use the word…I'm talkin' about ethics."

That's for the warning! Very kind of you. I'm glad I ate that crazy pepper now.

NEWBIE NOTES (sorry they're late but, well, the review was late and I had to educate young minds this evening)

The Other! Unpack! My god, I've traveled back in time 16 years to a graduate seminar. I hope the show has a paradigm shift before it's done.

One would also think that, after her disappearance, they'd plaster her photo all over the fleet, making it harder for other Sixes to sneak around. Same with Doral.

Also! Sonia, dig the parallel you drew between Starbuck/ship and Six/diplomat. I'm getting the sense that human-machine, uh, interactions will be a key part of the show moving forward, and they're laying groundwork. Sharon is clearly trying to seduce Helo, and Head Six isn't exactly subtle about her intentions.

NEWBIE NOTES Ixnay on the oilerspay

If memory serves (and it's been a loooong time since I read them), I think the Lensman books have some multilevel battles like that, with the ship weapons and individual minds fighting it out simultaneously.

Great maker, how could it have slipped my mind that G'Kar died with Londo? And I even read the Centauri Prime books. Gah.

Two questions about this episode for the group:

"I've been to the future and saw Wong Kar Wei's 2046."

YOU'RE NEVER QUITE OWNED AGAIN

All these moments will be lost in time…

She had a good run in the second season of Burn Notice.

It plays lots of prog rock. Mostly Yes.

It is good to have friends, is it not? If only for a little while?

So, um, I don't know if this is frowned upon or too self-aggrandizing or anything, but…

Great finale. Great review. Great series. Great series of reviews. Great comments.

NEWBIE NOTES No spoilers, pretty please.
