The Fall of Night

The Earth Alliance finally takes action regarding the Centauri Republic, while Sheridan protects a fugitive Narn ship.

*Lenear and Vir- this is a great bit.

*Foreshadowing-Nightwatch grows....

*Centari Battle Cruiser- Sadly, this is close to the last time we see this type of Centari ship. Suddenly for the whole rest of the show we only see the 'Starfish Cruisers'.

Bye Bye Luke-Keffer's mini arc ends and he finds a Shadow Battle Crab....and dies.


Things that don't Make Sense

*When they video chat with the Narn ship, for some reason the video comes up on the wall, and at the station where Sheridan is standing.

*The Narn ship need ''more power'' to um, treat their sick and wounded crew-members. Wonder why they could not have just sent them over to B5's medlab?

*When the Centari targets B5, we hear a very, very submarine-like 'lock on ping'....in space. Oddly I think this is the only time we hear it.

*Crazy Centari- Well, it does seem a bit crazy for one battle cruiser to take on the whole station. Even if they did not know about the ''new and improved weapons from general Franklin'', they can scan the station and detect all the guns locking on, right? Plus the Centari have no fighter cover. Guess the captain was just a War Hawk of the ''we will win, for the Empire!'' type.

*Centari Aim- Well, it's a cool visual shot and all.....but, er, why do the Centari shot off the forward cargo stabilizer? Not like it's a vital area to hit...

Centari Tactics- Too bad they did not block the Jumpgate or even just target the Narn ships jump engines.

*Medical Ships- When the Centari cruiser has just taken heavy damage Sheridan says the ''scramble the Medical Ships!'' Too bad we don't get to see them....I wonder what kinds of medical ships the station has...

*No passengers- Sigh, in standard cartoonish TV logic every single innocent passenger on the core shuttle gets off right before the bomb blows.

*Big Bomb- Er, the Centari bomb is huge. Where in the universe does the assassin hide it? Is it on his back? And how does he set it down on the seat without being too obvious?

*Open Doors-Er well Sheridin just calls into his link and says ''computer open shuttle doors''. Well guess the all knowing computer just knows exactly where Sheridan is, right? Or it like traces the location of the link to know ''what shuttle doors'' to open. What about a poor person with no link? Does the Core Shuttle have no emergency open button?

*Low gravity area- So the Core Shuttle is right in the middle of B5 right....so would that be almost ''no gravity''?

*Dramatic Explosion- Ok, so Sheridan gets on the Core shuttle back at Station One (a Blue Sector?), and stays on past Station Two where everyone gets off (wink, wink) and is planning to go to (at least) Station Three. But...um....the Zen Garden is between stations 2 and 3. So...why did not Sheridan get off at station 2? For some reason he was going to go past the Zen Garden to station three, then, um, turn around and walk backwards? But, of course, if he did not do this his shuttle could not blow up directly above the Zen Garden for all to see.

*Weightless- So Sheridan in ''mid space'' between the Core Shuttle Track and the Floor/Hull of B5 is basically weightless. Well, would he not be just as weightless on the core shuttle?

*Kosh Rising- So, Kosh rises up from the Zen Garden full of people. But, um, no one sees him rise up from the ground when clearly lots of people see him rise up from the ground Er, maybe Kosh used telepathy to erased everyone's minds?

*Londo's Sight- So Londo saw nothing? Like angel Kosh is invisible to Londo? Is it because Londo has been Touched By the Shadows? It's not that the Vorlons never visited or messed with the Centari, right? So like Vir saw a Centari angel right?

*Wonder what happened to the bomber assassin?

Final-A, This is the last episode of the season, so it has a nice ending voiceover by Ivanova: the Centauri have expanding their attacks, but that the threat closer to home was worse. She says that the goal of B5 - peace - has failed, but, it is now the best hope for victory.
