01 THE GATHERING
written by J. Michael Straczynski
directed by Richard Compton
music by Stewart Copeland
Story: In the Tigris Sector in the year 2257, the gigantic space station
Babylon 5 has entered service and is preparing for its first major official
duty, hosting the ambassadors of the Minbari, Vorlon, Centauri and Narn
governments who will, along with station Commander Sinclair, the Earth
representative, begin down the uneasy path toward interstellar peace. The
station's first officer Takashima and security chief Garibaldi are both
officers with career records that are, in places, less than exemplary,
giving the impression that the Earth Alliance isn't going to send the cream
of its crop to Babylon 5 - especially not since Babylons 1, 2 and 3 were
sabotaged and destroyed, and the fourth station in the line vanished without
a trace within a day of becoming operational. There are also questions
about the alien representatives: Centauri Ambassador Londo Mollari spends a
good deal of his time in the diplomatic pursuit of drinks and winnings in
the station's casino; Minbari Ambassador Delenn, whose people once waged a
vicious war with Earth and suddenly stopped all attacks just moments before
wiping out the human race, is secretive and speaks in riddles. Ambassador
G'Kar of the Narn Regime is ill-tempered and makes no secret of the fact
that he seeks power and prestige for his own people and himself, no matter
what the cost to other individuals or governments. And last, but not least,
Vorlon Ambassador Kosh Naranek, who, when he arrives, will be the first
Vorlon ever encountered by any of the above species, travels incommunicado.
This proves to be a problem when Kosh, in a life-sustaining encounter suit,
is found unconscious moments after his ship docks at Babylon 5. The crew
swings into action and discovers foul play, which infuriates the Vorlon
Empire. Matters are made no less critical when it is discovered that the
culprit is at large on Babylon 5, and Commander Sinclair is framed for the
attack on Kosh. His crew must fight to uncover the truth to prevent the
Vorlons from extraditing Sinclair - or to prevent them from simply declaring
all-out war on the Earth Alliance...

02 MIDNIGHT ON THE FIRING LINE prod#103
written by J. Michael Straczynski OB: w/o 24 Jan 94
directed by Richard Compton
music by Christopher Franke
Story: A surprise attack results in the capture of a Centauri agricultural
colony on Ragesh 3; when he receives the word, Londo Mollari is up in arms.
When careful examination of a visual record of the attack reveals Narn heavy
fighters are responsible for the invasion, Londo and G'Kar take every
opportunity to go for each others' throats and war seems inevitable. As if
trying to prevent a Narn-Centauri war isn't enough to occupy his time,
Sinclair is also troubled by recent attacks by space raiders on unarmed
transport ships - the pirates are taking more drastic and violent measures
than ever before. The Centauri government decides to take no action
regarding Ragesh 3. Enraged, Londo conceals this fact and tries to see if
he can encourage sanctions against the Narn Regime in a meeting of the
council. When G'Kar claims that the Ragesh 3 colonists have allied
themselves with the Narn to escape factional fighting and produces Londo's
colonist nephew as a witness to this claim, Londo decides to take matters
into his own hands in a most undiplomatic manner...

directed by Jim Johnston
music by Christopher Franke
Story: Shortly after the arrival of new doctor Stephen Franklin, an alien
spacecraft of an unknown design tumbles through the hyperspace jump gate, on
an uncontrolled collision course with the station. Sinclair manages to
retrieve the ship just before it collides with the station, and its sole
occupant is taken to the medlab. Ambassador Delenn reacts with horror at
the new arrival, describing him as a Soul Hunter, a figure feared in Minbari
lore. Though Sinclair and Dr. Franklin dismiss Delenn's frantic warnings
about the alien as superstition, it becomes clear when Franklin's patient
awakens that it does have some business with the Minbari on its agenda -
especially Delenn, who turns out to be more than she appears.

directed by Bruce Seth Green

Story: Londo stalls negotiations with the Narn - and infuriates G'Kar - when
he wishes simply to partake of a seedy bar whose agile young Centauri dancer
intrigues Londo; when he winds up in bed with her, talks are delayed even
further. But the girl is in the employ of an information trader who plans
on using her to get to Londo's Purple Files, detailing various dirt on many
Centauri families - information the Narn Regime would pay handsomely for in
order to gain blackmail material against their former masters. When Londo
discovers that his secrets have been taken, he begins a desperate quest to
track down the culprit and free an innocent pawn.

of the artifacts takes control of Hendricks's partner and transforms him
into a killing machine designed to eliminate any life form which is not pure

G'Kar's past gets a grip on him as an old adversary from the Narn homeworld

to grill Talia and Sinclair about Ironheart's possible whereabouts. When it

an isolationist terrorist group from Earth whose members seek to flush all
alien influnces out of human society. Other violent attacks on non-humans
concern and outrage the aliens aboard Babylon 5. One assault leaves Vir's
nephew in a coma. G'Kar stirs up trouble in the name of justice, trying to

Story: The blackmail of a security guard for his gambling debts allows two
shady characters aboard the station with their equipment, which requires a
lot of power and is intended for a specific subject - Commander Sinclair.
The commander is kidnapped and wired into a virutal-reality cybernet, in
which he is interrogated by an unknown but determined adversary whose
purpose is to uncover memories of what happened when Sinclair's ship went
missing for the 24 hours prior to the Minbari surrender in the final battle
of the Earth-Minbari War. Sinclair resists his opponent's attempts to get
into his mind, but finally he remembers events that have been blocked from
his memory for a decade: the destruction of his entire squadron, his capture
by a Minbari battle cruiser, torture, and a mysterious encounter with twelve
figures cloaked in grey, one of whom he suddenly remembers well - Delenn.
The memory could cost Sinclair his life.

directed by Bruce Seth Green
music by Christopher Franke
Story: Waiting for a Narn representative to arrive at the station, Na'Toth
spots a woman she claims is a war criminal who committed atrocities upon her
family during conflicts 30 years ago and viciously attacks her. Sinclair
discovers that the victim of the assault would indeed appear to be Jha'dur,
a Dilgar warmaster whose hideous biological experiments took the lives of
thousands. She now claims to have created a drug which bestows immortality,
and Earth immediately calls the station with orders for Sinclair to ship
Jha'dur home so planetside scientists can develop her discovery. As it so
happens, the Narn Regime has given G'Kar similar orders. Most of the
smaller members of the League of Non-Aligned Worlds, however, still harbor a
deep hatred of the Dilgar and Jha'dur in particular...to the point of
severing diplomatic ties with anyone who now chooses to associate with her.

directed by Richard Compton

Story: A family of a devout people known as the Children of Time arrive on
the station seeking medical treatment for their son, whose respiratory
blockage will prove to be fatal if not treated soon. When Dr. Franklin
proposes surgery, however, he stumbles across their belief that puncturing
the body allows the spirit to escape, and they refuse his help. As he
manages to stall them by asking them to consider a more risky alternative
treatment, Franklin petitions Sinclair for permission to overrule the
parents' authority so he can save the child's life. Sinclair has to walk on
eggshells around both parties, but cannot avoid making a ruling on the
matter that could undermine Babylon 5's neutral status. And all this time,
a child's life is slipping away...and Dr. Franklin decides to take control
of the situation himself.
