aka "Another ship doomed by telepathy sets sail." Also, "Oh, Michael." Oh, and let's not forget "Don't make Lyta angry. You won't like her when she's angry."
Whiiiich...about covers all the important parts of this episode, I'd say. As I've said before, I think the idea of Garibaldi's arc this season is excellent and in-character and a great way to go about things, but emotionally it hurts like a bitch and that's why I can never love it.
(I did notice this time that when he drops his bombshell, then says, "I didn't come here to argue with you," he addresses that directly to Susan. Oh, ship of my heart. Always the hard path. Now I want to write something angsty for them and call it "Iter Durum." [/Renaissance Epic class in-joke])
Meanwhile, Lyta is really starting to get pissed about being used by the command staff. And so she blows up at Zack, who is least able to do anything about it. Except, you know, bring her pizza and spend time with her and totally, totally fall for her OH GOD THEY'RE SO CUTE. Doomed, yes, but adorable. Maybe once she finishes her Getting Over Our Angst Tour with G'Kar (249 Planets in Two Years!), they can try again. I think she'd appreciate his simplicity.
But at the moment, Lyta is not interested in getting over angst. She's interested in making Bester pay. And I'm pretty much in love with her for that, even though Sheridan, foolishly, is not. Sheridan, did you not see what she's capable of? Is pissing her off really what you want to do?
The Illusion of Truth
My opinion of this one has largely not changed from last time. It still feels like wallowing in something that was pretty obvious from the get-go.
