“Laser-Mirror-Starweb” part 2: “Coda For Human And Narn In B Flat”

Sheridan just barely gets on board the ship and he isn’t happy with Greegil. Back on Babylon 5, as Garibaldi and G’Kar race to avoid the center tube’s cleaning robot we find out why Greegil wants to kill G’Kar. The ambassador refused to sleep with Greegil’s wife, worried that a resulting child would shift the balance of power. (It kind of makes more sense when he explains it.) Eventually, the two parties get together (although Garibaldi and G’Kar are in their undies–hey, I’m not explaining EVERYTHING here), Greegil tries to kill G’Kar and he’s stopped.

There’s no “got wrong” and I’m going to even pretend there is. More comedy involving Garibaldi and G’Kar cheating each other at Laser-Mirror-Starweb, Sheridan just being cool, Narn politics–it’s just a fun story, which is interesting in a series not always known for silly moments. I think you need the occasional light filler even in a dark series like Babylon 5. We all have the kinds of days we can look back on and laugh about.

Recommendation: While still not a must for B5 fans, you really should pick up this two-issue arc just for the fun of it if you come across it.
