LATEST NEWS ON B5 IN THE UK

a)  SEASON 2 - Channel 4 (a.k.a. C4) still have no firm broadcast date for
    season 2 of B5.  Currently I can confirm that the schedules running up to
    the start of April have no sign of B5 in sight!  :(  Rumours speculate
    that the new season will start sometime during late April '95 (a la
    season 1) or around late Spring/early Summer.

    An April '95 start will mean that, without breaks, season 2 will end
    during September '95.

b)  SEASON 1 REPEAT - Despite rumours that C4 were planning to repeat season
    1 shortly, this is not true either!  C4 have bought rights to air the
    season again (in fact, it is standard practice to buy the rights to air a
    series twice).

    C4 will repeat season 1, but it will be after they have aired season 2
    completely.  No, they will not air it while they air the second season,
    so you can't look forward to the prospect of B5 twice a week!  Heck, even
    once a week would be something at this point in time!

    Also, when they repeat season 1, it will air later in the evening.  But,
    as ever, there is no firm date to air it.  Going by the season 2 dates,
    it may be shown during Autumn/X-mas '95.

c)  "TKO" - This much talked about episode *may be* shown when C4 repeat the
    first season, providing it's aired at a late enough time slot.  However
    if this episode is aired, chances are that it will still be edited
    somewhat!  It all depends on how late in the evening the series is
    repeated.

    It is hoped that other episodes which have been edited will be shown
    complete when the season is repeated.

d)  B5 COMIC - Issue 1 of the B5 comic is now available at all good comic
    stores.

The format of the guide is as follows:-

     [Airing order]  [Episode Title]
     [Quote]
     [Plot summary]

[2.1]  PILOT MOVIE

    "I was there at the dawn of the third age of mankind. It began in the
    Earth year 2257 with the founding of the last of the Babylon stations,
    located deep in  neutral space.   It was a  port of call for refugees,
    smugglers,  businessmen,  diplomats  and  travellers  from  a hundred
    worlds.  Could be a dangerous place, but we accepted the risk because
    Babylon 5 was our last, best hope for peace.

    "Under the leadership of its' final  commander, Babylon 5 was a dream
    given  form... a dream of  a galaxy  without war,  when species  from
    different worlds could live side  by side in mutal respect... a dream
    that was in  danger as never  before by the  arrival of  one man on a
    mission of destruction.

   "Babylon 5 was the last of the Babylon stations. This is its' story..."


000) "The Gathering"

Lyta Alexander: "He did it!  He's the one!  He tried to kill the ambassador!"

When Ambassador Kosh of the Vorlon Government arrives on Babylon 5 he is
immediately the subject of an assassination attempt.  Using a telepath, the
crew discover that the assassin is apparently Commander Jeffrey Sinclair
himself and he finds himself on trial.  But as the crew investigate further
the mystery deepens, and as Garibaldi digs deeper bodies begin turning up and
some people aren't who they seem to be.  The crew must solve the mystery and
find the real assassin before the arrival of the Vorlons, who will take
Commander Sinclair back to their own world for trial.


[2.2]  SEASON 1 - SIGNS AND PORTENTS

    "It was the Dawn of the  Third  Age  of  Mankind, ten years after the
    Earth/Minbari War.  The Babylon Project was a dream given form.  Its'
    goal: to prevent another  war  by  creating  a place where humans and
    aliens could work out  their  differences peacefully.  It's a port of
    call, home away from home for  diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs and
    wanderers;  humans and  aliens  wrapped  in two million, five hundred
    thousand tons of spinning metal... all alone in the night.  It can be
    a dangerous place, but  it's  our last, best hope for peace.  This is
    the story of the  last  of the  Babylon  stations.  The year is 2258.
    The name of the place is Babylon 5."


001) "Midnight on the Firing Line"

G'Kar: "Would you like some Spoo?  It's quite fresh this week."
Londo: "Fresh is it?" [spits into Spoo!]

An attack on Ragesh 3, a Centauri outpost, leads Londo to discover that the
Narn Regime was behind it, and he goes after G'Kar.  Meanwhile pirates are
attacking supply ships and as Sinclair calls a council meeting to authorise
sanctions against the Narn Regime, Garibaldi discovers that the pirates will
be attacking a supply ship carrying over 500 civilians.  Then Sinclair gets a
message from the senator telling him that the Earth Alliance must stay
neutral and things go from bad to worse for Londo at the meeting.


002) "The Soul Hunter"

Sinclair: "Two Soul Hunters!  Did somebody book a convention without telling
          me?"

A ship is stopped before it crashes into B5 and its lone occupant is bought
onboard.  Delenn recognises the occupant as a Soul Hunter, a stealer of
souls, and when news gets out of the occupant most of the aliens decide to
book passage off B5.  Then a second Soul Hunter arrives and details emerge
that the first Soul Hunter is there to take a soul of someone very important,
but rather than wait for death to take its course and risk being late, he
plans to kill and collect the soul there and then.


003) "Born to the Purple"

Ko'Dath: "I am Ko'Dath, the new head of your diplomatic staff."
G'Kar: "Yes, err... I wasn't expecting you for serveral yea... err, days."

Londo becomes involved with a very beautiful Centauri dancer, Adira, and ends
up often neglecting his ambassadorial duties.  But Adria turns out to be a
slave on a mission to steal Londo's "purple files", a set of confidential
files detailing scandalous secrets.  Adria steals the files but changes her
mind about handing them over to her owner, Trakis, who hires killers look for
her.  Meanwhile Garibaldi detects some unauthorized transmissions on the
restricted Gold channel and has a hard time pinning them down.


004) "Infection"

Garibaldi: "If that thing leaves a waxy yellow build up... on anything, I'm
           coming back here."

Dr. Franklin's mentor, one Dr. Vance Hendricks, arrives on Babylon 5 with
smuggled artifacts from a long dead civilization that he hopes will lead to a
breakthrough in organic technology; the blueprints for living machines.  But
things go wrong for Nelson Drake, Hendricks's assistant, when one of the
artifacts slowly transforms him into an alien killing machine with a living
armour compound that grows over his body.  Meanwhile Sinclair tries to avoid
an attractive, but pushy, reporter determined to interview him.


005) "The Parliament of Dreams"

Londo: "Do you know what the last Xon said just before he died?...  Arrrgh!"
Garibaldi: "Can I kill him now?"
Sinclair: "Let me get back to you."

It's a week of festivities where everyone on Babylon 5 gets to experience the
others religious beliefs.  During this time Ambassador G'Kar receives a death
threat from an old enemy and becomes suspicious of everyone, including his
newly arrived aide Na'Toth.  He hires a bodyguard to help protect him, but
even the bodyguard turns up dead!  Meanwhile Catherine Sakai, an old flame of
Sinclair's, turns up on B5 on business, and once again a romance builds up
between them.


006) "Mind War"

Sinclair: "Mister, I don't care if you had a personal message from God
          complete with stone tablets.  You lied to me!"

When an escaped rogue telepath, Jason Ironheart, arrives on Babylon 5 to find
Talia Winters, two Psi Cops are sent after him and will stop him any way they
can.  But Jason is not all he seems and his presence could destroy Babylon 5.
Even the Psi Cops aren't telling the whole truth and a tale of genetic
experiments on telepaths slowly unfolds.  During all this, Catherine Sakai
ignores G'Kar's warning about Sigma 957 and finds herself spirialing towards
the planet with 2 hours to live.


007) "The War Prayer"

    Directed by: Richard Compton
    Written by.: D.C. Fontana

Ivanova: "... You're a vicious man."
Garibaldi: "I'm Head of Security.  It's in the job description."

The tension and ill feeling between the aliens and humans on B5 grows after a
Minbari poet is stabbed and branded by a pro-Earth group.  It leaves Sinclair
and his crew scrambling to flush out the pro-Earth group before all out war
breaks out on B5, which is not helped by G'Kar's interference.  Londo and Vir
have their own problems when they clash over two young Centauri lovers
seeking protection from arranged marriages, and an old lover of Ivanova's
suddenly arrives at the station who has more on his agenda than she realises.


008) "And the Sky Full of Stars"

Sinclair: "Well, well... looks like the pain is real for both of us."

Sinclair wakes up to find B5 deserted, but it turns out that he has been
kidnapped and is being interrogated inside a virtual reality cybernet by two
unknown assailants determined to find out what happened when he was M.I.A.
for 24 hours during the "Battle of the Line", something he has never been
able to remember.  As the rest of the B5 crew start a search for Sinclair he
starts remembering bits and pieces of those 24 hours, but will they find him
before he dies from his interrogation?


009) "Deathwalker"

Sinclair: "Why?"
Kosh: "You are not ready for immortality."

Jha'dur, better known to many as "Deathwalker", is the last of the Dilgar, a
race which fought the Earth Alliance and the League of Non-Aligned Worlds 30
years ago.  She is recognised on arrival at B5 and the League calls out for
justice, but Sinclair receives orders to send her back to Earth as she has
produced an immortality serum which she uses as a bargaining chip to retain
her freedom.  Meanwhile Talia Winters conducts some very strange and peculiar
business with Ambassador Kosh and a strange man.


010) "Believers"

Shon: "Am I going to die?"

An alien couple bring their child to Dr. Franklin looking for medical help
with his life-threatening condition, but their ancient religion will not
allow surgical procedure.  Franklin asks Sinclair to overrule the aliens'
parental authority which he considers but finally rejects.  Knowing the boy
will die if not operated on, Dr. Franklin and his assistant operate anyway
not knowing the consequences of their actions.  Meanwhile Ivanova leads a
rescue attempt of a ship which could be attacked by raiders.


011) "Survivors"

Nolan: "It was... Gara... baldi..."

Major Kemmer, the president's security adviser, arrives on B5 to inspect
safety conditions and it seems that she has a grievance with Garibaldi who
she blames for killing her father.  An explosion seriously injures a worker
and as he dies he insists it was due to a bomb planted by Garibaldi.  Kemmer
arrests Garibaldi but he escapes, determined to find out who framed him.  As
things go from bad to worse Garabaldi ends up hitting the bottle once again.


012) "By Any Means Necessary"

Connolly: "I have spent my entire life defending workers' rights and I'm not
          about to stop now!"

An accident in one of B5's overcrowded loading docks between two ships causes
the death of a worker.  Working conditions and obsolete equipment are blamed
and Sinclair faces an illegal strike.  When the Senate sends in a negotiator
things get worse and there are violent clashes between the workers and the
security forces on B5.  A rare flower used in the Narn religous ceremonies is
destroyed in the accident and G'Kar, needing one in time for the ceremony,
discovers that Londo is the only other person who has one.


013) "Signs and Portents"

Kosh: "Leave this place.  They are not for you.  Go.  Leave.  Now..."

Raiders are robbing and destroying cargo vessels close to B5 and the crew
prepare for defensive action.  Londo comes into possession of "The Eye", an
ancient Centauri symbol of power, which is to be given to Lord Kiro, the
Emperor's heir.  When the raiders attack another cargo vessel which turns out
to be a decoy, there is an attack on the station itself, with raiders on B5
capturing Kiro and "The Eye".  Meanwhile a mysterious stranger arrives on the
station asking the same question to the alien Ambassadors.


014) "TKO"

Muta-Do: "... and I say 'Go Back to Earth.  The Mutai is not for you.'"

Walker Smith, a disgraced ex-prizefighter from Earth, comes to B5 to visit
his friend Garibaldi and to reclaim his honour by becoming the first human to
fight in the Mutai, a fierce boxing event hosted by the alien races onboard
the station.  But the Muta-Do will not let humans fight against aliens -
Smith must find another way to enter the event.  Rabbi Koslov arrives on B5
to console Ivanova on the death of her father, and to help her come to terms
with it - something she is unwilling to let him do.


015) "Grail"

Sinclair: "... One person's lunatic is another's true seeker."
Garibaldi: "You've been hanging out with Delenn too much."

Gajic, a traveller, comes to B5 seeking the Holy Grail, hoping that one of
the alien ambassadors has some information on it.  Meanwhile Deuce, a crime
boss, forces Jinxo, a worker, to repay a debt in a certain amount of time or
be brainwiped by an alien appearing to be Ambassador Kosh, who has just
brainwiped a witness planning to testify against Deuce.  In the course of
their investigation, the B5 crew end up trying to find a terrifying "Feeder",
and a captured Gajic and Ombuds Wellington.


016) "Eyes"

Garibaldi: "If I kill him I would start a war..."

Colonel Zayn (a.k.a."Eyes"), an investigator from the Earthforce Bureau of
Internal Affairs, arrives on B5 with a military specialist from the Psi Corps
to evaluate the loyalty of B5's command staff in the wake of the several
political crisis on the station.  Garibaldi finds out some information on
Zayn does some more digging, and when things don't go as planned for Zayn, he
assumes command of B5 and threatens to court-martial Sinclair.  Lennier finds
some time to help Garibaldi build a motorcycle.


017) "Legacies"

Sinclair: "Station 1, keep scanning that ship - if their tracking system so
          much as blinks in our direction..."

A Minbari war cruiser arrives at B5 with the corpse of their great war hero,
Brarmer, for display at various outposts throughout the galaxy, but when the
corpse goes missing everyone is horrified and there is a search to find it,
with the Minbari warrior caste leader threatening to start a war over it.

Surface monitors detect seismic activity on Episilon 3, the planet B5 orbits.
A team is sent to investigate but their shuttle is attacked by an automated

revolt on the Mars Colony where his ex-girlfriend is stationed, and Delenn is
visited by Draal, one of her former teachers.

Pierce: "A show of force... is required."

Deep inside Episilon 3, Sinclair and Ivanova discover that seismic tremors

cybernetic alien.  They bring him back to B5 and an Earthforce war cruiser

chain reaction that will destroy the planet in less than 48 hours.  Then
an alien warship arrives also laying claims to the planet and a
misunderstanding leads to a space battle.

Krantz: "Babylon 4 requesting help.  We need assistance."

The strange death of a pilot and an emergency transmission leads to the
reappearance of Babylon 4, which has been trapped in a violent time warp for
the last 4 years, which projects B4 back and forth through time... All
available rescue shuttles are sent to B4 and the crew are evacuated before it

[2.3]  SEASON 2 - THE COMING OF SHADOWS

    "The Babylon Project  was  our last,  best,  hope  for peace.  A self
    contained world five  miles  long,  located in  neutral territory.  A
    place of commerce and diplomacy for a quarter of a million humans and
    aliens.  A shining beacon  in space,  all alone in the night.  It was
    the dawn of the  Third Age  of Mankind,  the year  The Great War came
    upon us all.  This is the story  of the last of the Babylon stations.
    The year is 2259.  The name of the place is Babylon 5."


023) "Points of Departure"

Sheridan: "The president feels the Minbari had too much influence over an
          Earth Outpost.  Times change."
Hedronn: "And the day that a man such as yourself is given such a position of
          this importance is a dark day indeed.  We lost many of our best
          warriors because of you... and we do not soon forget such things.
          If there is a doom upon this station it's because you brought it
          here."

The second season premiere where Captain John Sheridan arrives on B5 to
assume a command he isn't entirely sure about.  To complicate matters the
Minbari do not agree with the appointment of a man known to them as 'The
Starkiller'.  Sheridan also has to deal with a renegade Minbari warship, the
Trigati, which has been sighted in the area, and when a Minbari is captured
whilst attempting to assasinate Delenn, the Trigati appears and threatens B5.
Commander Sinclair reaches an important destiny and the secret of his missing
24 hours at the Battle of the Line is revealed.


024) "Revelations"

Londo [laughs]: "Why don't you eliminate the entire Narn homeworld while
                you're at it?"
Morden: "One thing at a time, Ambasssador... One thing at a time."

Londo continues to plot his rise to power with the aid of Morden.  G'Kar
arrives back on B5 with news of a powerful and terrible new enemy.  Sheridan
deals with the loss of his wife with a little help from his sister, and
Delenn finally emerges from her chrysalis looking very different.  Garibaldi
is finally revived from his coma and, with some help from Talia Winters,
confronts the traitor who shot him, but this only brings up some more
sinister news.


025) "The Geometry of Shadows"

Elric: "As I look at you, Ambassador Mollari, I see a great hand reaching out
       of the stars.  The hand is your hand.  And I hear sounds - the sounds
       of billions of people calling your name."
Londo: "My followers?"
Elric: "Your victims."

Ivanova starts training in the finer points in being a diplomatic officer and
is promoted to commander.  Her first test is to deal with the Drazi, who have
split into two groups and are fighting it out to find which group will rule
the other.  Over 100 powerful Technomages, who use magic-like science, arrive
on the station and Londo tries all means to seek an audience with them.
Garibaldi, still recovering from his wounds and the fact that he was betrayed
by his own second-in-command, considers his future.


026) "A Distant Star"

Ivanova: "All my life I've fought against Imperialism.  Now, suddenly I am
         the expanding Russian frontier!"
Franklin: "But with very nice borders."

Sheridan's first commanding officer, Captain Maynard, shows up on B5 and
questions his former subordinate about being tied to a desk as opposed to
being out in space travelling the stars.  When Maynard's ship is trapped in
hyperspace the B5 crew must find a way to rescue the ship... and they
discover that something may be living in hyperspace.  Dr. Franklin puts
Sheridan, Ivanova and Garibaldi on a strict diet which they are finding hard
to keep to.  Meanwhile the Minbari are unsure of Delenn's new appearence.


027) "The Long Dark"

Markab Ambassador: "She has bought somthing evil from the past - a soldier of
                   darkness."

A ship over 100 years old floating towards B5 is bought onboard and found to
contain a cryogenically-frozen young lady and her murdered husband.  Reviving
the lady, Dr. Franklin develops a relationship with her.  Meanwhile Garibaldi
arrests a lurker who can sense a coming doom.  When an alien is killed on B5,
the death is discovered to be similar to the death of the lady's husband and
she becomes a suspect.  The death also leads to some dark news about an alien
entity and Garibaldi sets out to stop it.


028) "Spider in the Web"

Sheridan: "For the past 6 years there have been rumours about a rouge agency
          operating deep inside Earth gov.  A dirty tricks squad dealing in
          black projects and star-chambered justice.  It took me over 3 years
          just to get a name... Bureau 13.  And the man who gave me that name
          died soon after..."

As preliminary negotiations between Isogi and the Provisional Mars government
representive end successfully, Isogi, a friend of Talia Winters, is murdered.
But what seems like an assassination by the Free Mars movement turns out to be

======================
[4]  IT'S BEEN EDITED!
======================

The following are descriptions of scenes that have been edited out of
episodes of Babylon 5 by Channel 4.  I know, sacrilege!  :(  Apparently the
episodes "Believers" and "Survivors" have been edited.  If you know what has
been edited out of these episodes, or know of any other edits, e-mail me all
the details!  Edits are listed in the format:-

[ep. #]  [title]
[edited scenes]

002) "The Soul Hunter"

 a) Just before the tramp is killed by the other tramp with the knife,
    there has been a 1-2 second edit where you should have seen a close up
    of the knife the killer is holding.

007) "The War Prayer"

 a) In the teaser with the Minbari poet being stabbed, you only see a flash
    of the butterfly knife (a martial arts knife, a.k.a. ballisong) twice
    and then the stabbed Minbari poet fall down before being branded.  You
    don't see the actual stabbing.

    The US version shows the knife 3 times and then the actual stabbing.

 b) The scene where the Oriental pro-earth man is attacked by aliens is
    cut.  Basically he gets beaten up a lot more in the US version!  The UK
    version lasts 17 seconds.  The US version lasts 42 seconds.

008) "And the Sky Full of Stars"

 a) In the scene where Sinclair has the complete version of his flashback
    of the "Battle of the Line", he says "Not like this, not like this, if
    I'm going out I'm taking you with me."

    In the US version he actually says "Not like this, not like this, if
    I'm going out I'm taking you bastards with me."  You can see what word
    has been removed.

009) "Deathwalker"

 a) In the teaser where Jha'dur is attacked by Na'Toth, you see Na'Toth
    beating Jha'dur onto the ground - suddenly she miraculously has a metal
    staff/wrench in her right hand and is about to strike Jha'dur before
    getting held back.  What you don't see is the edit where Na'Toth picks
    up the wrench and hits Jha'dur a couple of times, and boy-o-boy was it
    painful!

014) "TKO"

 a) This has been the most serverely edited episode.  In fact, it has been
    so edited that it was not aired!  Yes, Channel 4 deemed the episode too
    violent in its content for a 6pm showing, so they skipped this episode
    completely!  :(

018) "A Voice in the Wilderness, Part 1"

 a) The scene in the bar where Garibaldi thumps the man who is making
    remarks about the people on the Mars colony has been edited.
