Plot Summary

In the year 2258, it is ten years after the Earth-Minbari War. Commander Sinclair takes command of a giant five-mile-long cylindrical space station, orbiting a planet in neutral space. At a crossroads of interstellar commerce and diplomacy, Commander Sinclair (2nd season Captain Sheridan) must try to establish peace and prosperity between various interstellar empires, all the while fighting forces from within the Earth Alliance. It is a precarious command, particularly given that sabotage led to the destruction of Babylon stations 1, 2, and 3 and 4 vanished without trace. Written by Tony Lammens

Trivia When Stephen Furst went in to audition for Vir, he saw that everyone else in the waiting room had done their hair up into a Centauri crest; he was the only person without one. In a blind panic, he went to the bathroom and tried to use liquid soap to create a crest. When his name was called, he stumbled in, with a disheveled, lopsided crest, eyes tearing up from liquid soap running into them. He began to apologize profusely, stammering with run-on sentences. Series show runner J. Michael Straczynski and the producers looked at each other, declared "Oh my God, it's Vir!", and offered him the role on the spot. See more »
Goofs Multiple people state that the Vorlon's quarters contain a lethal combination of gases that would kill humans. However, no one decontaminates or changes their uniform immediately after they leave. No one even wears gloves inside, even though toxic gases could settle upon their skin, or be absorbed through it. These gases would kill humans (or other species) *if breathed*. Not simply by exposing the skin to them. See more »

Quotes Mr. Morden: What do YOU want?
Ambassador Vir Cotto: I'd like to live just long enough to be there when they cut off your head and stick it on a pike as a warning to the next ten generations that some favors come with too high a price. I want to look up into your lifeless eyes and wave like this.

Ambassador Vir Cotto: Can you and your associates arrange that for me, Mr. Morden?
