Babylon 5 rewatch: A Spider in the Web

[vivdunstan]

Continuing our rewatch of Babylon 5, and this is another one we’ve skipped multiple times before. The pre credits scene with a hand emerging ever so slowly from the cargo hold isn’t a great start. But some of the guest cast are good. Michael Beck isn’t great, but better than he was in Xanadu. It is also nice to see some of the series’s focus shift away from the station, especially towards Mars, but also with the glimpse of that intriguing wasteland on Earth. There is a nod forward with Ivanova and Talia. And the Sheridan/Garibaldi investigative combo is fun. But it’s definitely a missable episode. But hey, the first time we hear and see Zack. Which is nice!
