Format:VHS Tape
This episode takes place as a series of computer archive displays ranging in time periods of 2275 onwards for one million years.
It starts with the formation of the Alliance and the introduction of the rangers, moves on to an online university discussion, then to a holographic reproduction and a war. We then have an stark change of the timeline where things appear to digress before we are shown the person who operates the computer who leaves the room in a form that any fan will recognise.
The end of the episode moves back to the time of Babylon 5 that we have come to know as the present. Sheridan and Delenn are lying in bed and we Sheridan awake. He asks if people will remember them one hundred or a thousand years from now, was this question inspired by the dream he had just had, or is the episode the writers way of telling us the long term future of the Babylon 5 timeline?
Judge for yourself with this video that has several thought provoking speaches and statements.

CORPS IS MOTHER, CORPS IS FATHER. You'll either love him or you'll hate him. And the later is much more frequent... We're dealing with the infamous Mr. Bester here, played beautifully by Star Trek TOS W. Koenig. And this episode is all about him.
Welcome to the inside of the Psi Corps, and particularly the Psi Cops division. Bester is assigned to two level 12 telepaths, to evaluate them as possible Psi Cops. As he takes them to a fist tour around the department, a dead body is found. Another Psi Cop trainee has been murdered, possibly by his roommate. The fugitive is traced to Babylon 5 (surprise, surprise) and Bester goes after him.
This is a highly entertaining episode. Most B5 has been intrigued with the Psi Corps, and this episode throws light to many aspects of this secretive organization. Not all questions are answered, but we learn a lot of new info and we are confronted by many unexpected secrets. And then there's Bester. So far, he's succeeded in making us dislike him, starting from the episode "A Race through Dark Places" up to his dealing with Garibaldi. Some of us may have felt pity for him, with his only love modified by the Shadows and still in cryogenic stasis on B5. And other viewers, those who prefer evil characters, may absolutely adore him. However, in this episode we learn more about his psychology: He DOES love his people and he wants to help them, in his own way, believing he's doing what's best for them.
Interesting touch: the titles sequence, when the station's logo is replaced by the Psi logo.
MEDITATIONS ON THE ABYSS. Lennier has left B5 because of his feelings for Delen. However, he's a ranger in training and always at her side. And now she asks of him to gather evidence for the Centauri being behind the attacks on the Alliance Members' ships. How can he turn her down?
And during his training in the edge of Centauri space, he finds himself stuck in a Minbari fighter with air running out. He enters a meditating state, reducing his vital functions, and meditates on the abyss around and inside him.
Meanwhile, G'Kar realizes he's now a religious icon. He has to accept this burden and teach his people and guide them away from hatred. However, not all are ready for enlightenment, and the abyss he's trying to pull them out off much too dark....

In the first episode we have the chance to watch the cultural and religious differences of the various races that live aboard the station. This may sound boring, but it sets the basis for viewers to understand the hidden plot as it unfolds through each episode. Meanwhile, for those who love action, G'Car faces an assassin.
The next one, 'Mind War', introduces us with the Psy Corps, and a notorious Psy Cop, played beautifully by Walter Koenig (Star Trek TOS Checov).
If you want to have a better understanding of the episodes to follow, don't miss these two.
