The 'purity' debate reminds me of an elderly woman in the UK who swore blind that she was pure British and took a DNA test to prove it. It turned out that her DNA had it's roots in Outer Mongolia. Her husband commented that he had always thought he had married Genghis Khan. I've always found it interesting to note that, if karyotic life had turned away from universality - even though the motivation was to consume for nutrition or to take apart other karyotes for spare parts - then the biosymbiosis that created the foundation for multicellular Eukaryotic life would never have happened and we wouldn't exist. Universality allows exceptionality and opportunization and total insularity disallows any exceptionality whatsoever.

Josef Schiltz

Btw: Angela. I get the feeling you would enjoy 'Remembrance Of The Daleks' and maybe the 'Genesis Of The Daleks'. that take on these themes. ROTD is Sylvester McCoy and GOTD is the fourth Doctor, Tom Baker - whom you saw as The Caretaker in Time Of The Doctor.

John the Rambling Scriblerian

I always laud this show for its timeless relevance, and then an episode like this comes along that I had forgotten about, and it drives that home all the harder. Purity, security, all of that, so relevant today, but also so relevant for our entire civilized history. I freaking love this show SO. MUCH.

Cody Thomas Sinclair

It does get a little uncomfortable at times with how relevant this show gets, especially given everything that's been going on in the world over the past decade.

Jeff Ratcliff

Didn't expect Illya Kuryakin to show up.

David Stewart

Rest in Peace David McCallum, great actor and fellow Scotsman. I was glad many new people got to know his acting via NCIS. Looking forward to next weeks episode...really starts to put the framework down and introduces a fan favorite character :-)

The Casual Deathworlder

As far as what I though about this episode when I saw it...I saw it as it was being originally broadcast, and I absolutely lost my shit. It was AWESOME! It was the greatest series I'd yet seen. Ahhh, there is sooo much I can't wait to see your jaw bounce off the table about. So many amazing concepts in this series. Also...You seem to be channeling Laura Rosalin just a little bit. Yijao?

Michael Siegel

Infection is generally regarded as one of the weaker episodes of the series. I'm not a huge fan (although it sets up a LOT downstream). But if you loved this one, this is going to be one of your favorite series of all time. So much I'm looking forward to!

MertzRocks

Joe really did know wtf he was doing!

MertzRocks

"...jaw bounce off the table..." I love that. It's apt. If she had a table in front of her, she'd need padding on it or her jaw might need work... 😏😜🙄

MertzRocks

It's definitely MY favorite series out of any shows with more than one season. Shows with only one season - or less - I put in a different box. Firefly is my #1 in THAT box (see left - If I had a B5-related icon there it would be G'kar). R.I.P. Andreas (and everyone else no longer with us from B5 - far too long a list...). 😢

James Fleischman

"Don't. You're too young to experience that much pain." Ivanova certainly has a mean streak

Josef Schiltz

David McCallum's other notable television roles include Simon Carter in Colditz (1972–74) and Steel in Sapphire & Steel (1979–82). David was also a classically-trained musician and played oboe, violin and piano.

Brian Pickering

Regarding the "rant"... didn't mind the rant, and love the t-shirt. :-) You're already seeing themes that are going to weave through the next five seasons, proving Santayana right again. And yeah, this has nothing whatsoever to do with any current social/political events. Nothing at all. (sigh)

The talk between Sinclair and Garibaldi was partly a commentary by JMS on the way most prior sci-fi shows had The Main Characters Do Everything. In Star Trek the captain always beams down with the Away Team, sometimes also with the first officer and chief medical officer as well, which leaves WHO in charge of the ship? So JMS had Garibaldi point out that it's not normal for the person in charge to be trying to dive into dangerous situations headfirst, and that indicates something else going on to motivate them. Does that mean they STOP doing this in B5? No, it's still a TV show, and we still need to have the main character in the center of the action. But they also never stop addressing WHY they're doing that or what that means for their planning and motivations.

Jeff Ratcliff

They addressed that early in the Next Generation although they didn't always follow through with it.

Jeff Ratcliff

This episode reminds me of Asimov's book "Robots and Empire", where the Solarians got around the 1st law of robotics by redefining "human" to exclusively mean people who speak with a distinct Solarian accent.

Ray (Fanporium)

One of the things I love about B5 is that since it comes from the era of 20+ episode seasons, you get a nice mix of plot-based episodes and self-contained classic sci-fi morality tales, like this one. What I don't like is that I rewatch the series every few years, and these episodes keep getting more and more relevant to current affairs.

Josef Schiltz

"I'm back! I'm home! We finally really did it. You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!" Astronaut, George Taylor. Planet Of The Apes. 1968. "Great Maker! Forgive us this madness!" Ikarran Cyborg. Both characters, the astronaut, Taylor and the Ikarran cyborg are faced with the harsh reality of weaponized fanaticism. Taylor realizes that human hubris destroyed the world, while the cyborg realizes that its ultimate weapon—designed to protect a flawless society from the "other"—was so brutally extreme that it destroyed its makers from the inside out.

TheUndeadFish

A lot of people call this one of the weaker episodes and even J. Michael Straczynski thinks this script could have been better, but I think everything you mentioned in the discussion is why it's still worth watching. It wasn't just an actor-in-a-suit thing-of-the-week episode, but there's more to take away from it in regards to characters, worldbuilding, and themes about space and aliens overall.

Jbb

B5 does not pull the punch. JMS was not afraid to step on anyone's toes. Genetic purity. PTSD. Weapons development. And we are just getting started.

Wild_Lee_Coyote

Infection is also one of the few episodes that the B plot is really weak. Just a reporter wanting an interview. Usually they are just as important as the min plot. After this episode you can see how the series finds it footing and really starts going.

Jeff

1) Thank you for the proper pronunciation of Delenn! 2) You are spot on with your insight into Ivanova's chin analogy regarding Santiago and Clark 3) Very much looking forward to your continued reactions of Babylon 5. 4) Regarding your (apropos) "rant", I just heard that Elon Musk has been acknowledged as a trillionaire now... so yea, definitely rant on!

MertzRocks

If we took all his money and divided it among all the other adults on Earth, how much would we each get? A hundred and sixty bucks? 🙄 LOL

William Wood

I think this was a good stand alone episode, I know some think it weak, but to my mind a weak B5 episode is gold star on most other series. Episode 5 has one of my favourites join, and a familiar face from a childhood favourite series from the eighties, though a repeat here in the UK.

Susan Ivonava is Angela's totem animal

Brian Goss

I humbly suggest a screener to preview your comments here btw. There are a HUGE number of potential spoilers for this show. It is layers upon layers. It is a riddle, wrapped in a enigma inside of a mystery. People even unknowingly can EASILY spill spoilers about future events and connect dots you would NOT otherwise connect way to early! Please be careful!! You are in for ONE HELLUVA RIDE BABY!!! Yeah!!!!

"Londo can get deathly serious" Oh we have not yet begun to see deadly serious Londo.....
