Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn J. Michael Straczynski's original plan, this was to be the Season 4 finale, saving the "meat" of the Earth civil war for Season 5. The plan had to be substantially altered when it seemed the show would be canceled after Season 4.
- GoofsSheridan is told he has had "pain givers" installed which would cause an increasingly severe shock the closer he got to the interrogator beginning from a couple feet away, yet several times the interrogator comes within less than a foot of Sheridan with no effect. Evidently, that's how the pain givers work - the victim cannot approach the interrogator, but the interrogator can approach the victim without setting off the givers. Such function can be easily implemented even at the current level of technology. Or the interrogator simply lied.
- Quotes
Capt. John Sheridan: You know, it's funny, I was thinking about what you said, that the preeminent truth of our age is that you cannot fight the system. But if, as you say, the truth is fluid, that the truth is subjective, then maybe you can fight the system. As long as just one person refuses to be broken, refuses to bow down.
Interrogator: But can you win?
Capt. John Sheridan: Every time I say "no."

Bored
OK one reviewer found the episode interesting.The other was shocked.I thought it was something that could have been dealt with in 15 minutes and then the show could have moved on to something more interesting to watch.I hate anything having to do with torture cause it just bores me like nothing else can.Senseless violence bores.I wish they had finished the war in season 5 cause now things get hurried in season 4 and 5 was mostly very boring and we lost a few very good actors who either vanished or got replaced by non-interesting ones.When you see this for the first time watch it cause you need it when you have seen it and are watching the show again skip this one cause it will make you give the wrong idea about Babylon 5 and you may not want to continue watching it which would be a mistake.
