<PRE> Since the question of what's coming up in the next batch of episodes has
|
|
arisen, I thought I'd go through and, while avoiding spoilers as much as
|
|
possible, give some glimpses into what's yet to come.
|
|
|
|
This list is for the new episodes beginning in late January through the
|
|
end of February, in order.
|
|
|
|
"Voices of Authority" - Earth begins tightening the screws on the folks
|
|
at B5 to try and exert more control there. Steps are taken to help prepare
|
|
for the shadow conflict. (Here, again, the "shadow war" means both the
|
|
obvious, and the more subtle conflict brewing at home; it's description and
|
|
metaphor.) The White Star voyages to some territory not seen since the first
|
|
episode, Ivanova helms the ship, a major dramatic turning point is reached,
|
|
and there is the single funniest scene in probably the series to date. A
|
|
strong arc story.
|
|
|
|
"Exogenesis" - The last non-arc episode for some time. Puts Dr.
|
|
Franklin and Marcus together investigating some odd happenings in DownBelow
|
|
that may indicate some kind of alien influence. Does, however, introduce a
|
|
thread that will play out over time.
|
|
|
|
"Dust To Dust" - Looks like a non-arc episode initially, but by the end
|
|
it has a strong effect on the overall storyline, and makes some permanent
|
|
changes in one of our characters. Combines Bester, the telepathic-assault
|
|
drug Dust, weapons dealers, and brings to a head a major part of the
|
|
G'Kar/Londo thread.
|
|
|
|
"Messages From Earth" - This begins the three-episode min-arc within the
|
|
larger arc that, by its conclusion, totally changes the structure of the B5
|
|
universe. A mega-wham episode. Because so much comes to a head so quickly,
|
|
little can be said about it without spoiling stuff. Our characters begin
|
|
making the final and irrevocable steps that will put them on a collision
|
|
course with everything they have believed in until now. There are four or
|
|
five episodes this season that push the limits of our effects and CGI to the
|
|
absolute wall; this is one of the biggest.
|
|
|
|
"Point of No Return" - The same, but moreso. Internal strife threatens
|
|
to tear apart the command structure of B5. The Nightwatch thread comes to a
|
|
crisis point. And Majel Barrett Roddenberry guest-stars in a B-story
|
|
involving Londo's destiny.
