Babylon 5 Vol. 7: Signs and Portents/TKO

Staffed by a human crew headed by Commander Jeffery Sinclair, the huge BABYLON 5 space station is host to an uneasy alliance of four alien races. SIGNS AND PORTENTS A powerful force of intersteller mercenaries, The Shadowmen, threaten Babylon 5 with total destruction after a merciless campaign of piracy in the station's vicinity, and Ambassador Londo plots to retrieve a long lost scared artefact, The Eye, in a bid to depose the Centaurian Emperor. Meanwhile, there are terrifying signs and portents that Babylon 5 may soon suffer the fate of the previous four Babylon space stations... TKO Security Chief Garibaldi helps an old friend, an unfairly disgraced prize-fighter, regain his dignity and self-respect by coaching him to enter, and maybe win, a lethally violent alien sporting event. Lieutenant Commander Ivanova also meets an old friend, a Rabbi from Earth, but is he who is to help her as she grieves for her dead father. A terrific episode, typical of the more intelligent and thoughtful style of this cult-hit TV series. © PTN Consortium
