Disc 4 of the second season has 4 more episodes, all are good and the last one is really good. Things are starting to heat up at the station. Left to right across the bottom of the picture we have Mr Garibaldi, Captain Sheridan and Susan Ivanova. In the second row we have Talia Winters, G'Kar, Delenn, Londo Molari and Dr Franklin. The Vorlon Kosh is in the back.
Hunter Prey 3/1/95
Written by JMS and directed by Menachem Binetski
Earth Force Intelligence tells Mr Garibaldi to find or kill Doctor Jacobs. He was the late President Santiago's doctor and he's supposed to have stolen some secrets and gone on the run. He does turn up on the station but he gets kidnapped by Richard Moll playing a criminal in down below. Captain Sheridan gets a visit from General Hague's messenger. The news from Earth isn't too good. Earth Force Intelligence is under direct control of President Clark. He was the Vice-president when Santiago died in the explosion of the Presidental Spaceship.
Jacobs has some evidence that Clark wasn't sick when he left the ship before it exploded. We've already know about the plot that Mr Garibaldi uncovered and this is just more evidence. Captain Sheridan meets with Ambassador Kosh and the Vorlon tells him he will teach Sheridan about himself. Kosh hides Jacobs in his ship so the EFI can't find him. Once the EFI leaves they get him off the station to safety.
There All The Honor Lies 4/26/95
Written by Peter David and directed by Mike Laurence Vejar
When Sheridan kills a Minbari there are some big problems. Delenn gets some disrespect from another Minbari when she and Lennier investigate the killing. Kosh's lesson for Sheridan is one moment of perfect beauty. Vir is going to be replaced until Londo sticks up for him. Vir will have quite a ride during the rest of the series. The truth comes about about the Minbari who was killed. It was all a plot to discredit Sheridan Starkiller. They really hate him.
And Now For A Word 5/3/95
Written by JMS and directed by Mario DiLeo
Interstellar News Network comes to the station to poke around. A big fight breaks out between the Centauri and the Narn. There ships blast each other pretty darn close to the station. There's always something exciting on that station. The ISN reporter is pretty much a douchebag when she interviews Delenn. Back on Earth there are factions in the government that don't like the cost of the station and the being out among the aliens.
In The Shadow Of Z'ha'dum 5/10/95
Written by JMS and directed by David Eagle
Mr Mordon finally comes to Captain Sheridan's attention. Mr Mordon had been on the Icarus same spaceship that Sheridan's wife Anna had been on when it exploded. Sheridan locks Mr Mordon up and questions him but he's not getting any answers he likes. Mr Garibaldi tells him he can't hold him for no reason and quits when Sheridan won't back down. Delenn and Kosh fill Sheridan in on the Shadows and their recent awakening. They urge him to let Mr Morden go. After letting Mr Morden go Sheridan goes to ask Mr Garibaldi to come back to work. The two men work well as a team and while they will have their issues they both will help the other get through the up coming troubles.
This episode is another of my favorites. There's a good bit of the story arc revealed, nice scenes with Sheridan and Mr Morden, and all that Shadow information from Delenn and Kosh. I love the complexity and variety of the aliens in this universe and they all seem to have plenty of backstory. The last Shadow war was a thousand years ago. The Minbari were in that one, along with the Vorlons. There are even older races, we saw one when Catherine Saki's ship got to close to Wolf 357, and the Vorlons and Shadows are part of the group called the First Ones.
