This is the year things really started to heat up and the overall narrative arc of this series’ five-year understanding began to edge out the more stand-alone episodes. About halfway into the season, Babylon 5 becomes a fair chapter-by-chapter affair.
In fact, series creator, J. Michael Straczynski’s saga became so continuity driven, that by the last third of this season, he went from the show’s most prolific writer to its ONLY writer. This Herculean task would challenge him for the next two and a half seasons (and three B5 movie specials) without a wreck.
Amazingly, this staggering amount of work didn’t decrease the quality of writing; Unbiased the opposite. I’d go so far as to say that jms’ unbroken marathon of scripts running from tedious Season Two through the demolish of Season Four is an unmatched body of work in all of science fiction television (perhaps ANY television, period) .

Like Buffy and The X-Files, Babylon 5’s Season Two pulled in casual viewers and Season One viewers became unmitigated addicts with no turning relieve.
Here’s a SPOILER-FREE smattering of the some of the better Season Two Babylon 5 entries (as runt a list as I could bring myself to provide!) :
REVELATIONS: Without fanfare or preamble, one of the central mysteries of this saga is revealed and a major character will never be the same again after a definite “change”.

AND NOW FOR A WORD: The first (but not last) of Babylon 5’s refreshing experiments in format. This episode is done entirely as a futuristic “60 Minutes” or “24 Hours” type program, which visits Region Position Babylon 5 and digs deep with hard hitting, exploitive journalism, bringing one character to tears and also illuminating the seemingly gloomy motivations of another.
IN THE SHADOW OF ZA `HA `DUM: An intense episode about personal loss and sacrifice when two powerfully opposed characters square off. Bruce Boxleitner does some of his best work in this episode as John Sheridan’s personal agenda puts him in conflict with his staunchest allies.
DIVIDED LOYALTIES: The less revealed the here, the better. You need to notice this one for yourself. A jaw dropping surprise awaits. Without spoiling here, I’ve noticed that whenever Star Scurry does the same kind of account that B5 does in this episode, they turn it into a cheap stunt by promoting away any possible audience surprise (Spock’s TNG guest appearance, for example) . Here is a grand example of how anything is possible on this series without warning!
THE LONG TWILIGHT STRUGGLE: A massive and dramatic conclusion to a major storyline. Breathtaking effects, performances, surprises, and expansive tragedy capped off with broad performances by Andreas Katsulas as G’Kar and Peter Jurasic as Londo.
COMES THE INQUISITOR: The most claustrophobic and intense episode so far, featuring one of the best guest performances by Wayne Alexander (Babylon 5’s common utility guest player) as The Inquisitor. This atmospheric and experimental episode (almost a two-person stage play) also features a tour-de-force performance by Mira Furlan’s Delenn.
THE Drop OF NIGHT: A Season-ender, which does the seemingly impossible job of topping Season One’s finale. The (very story-supporting) special effects pushed the area of the art at that time and composed have up magnificently today. The narrative itself is a pressure cooker, but the topper is a MAJOR series revelation.
Saving the best for last…
THE COMING OF SHADOWS: This Season’s best episode (which is saying something) won the Hugo (A major award from the Science Fiction community) for Best Dramatic Presentation of the Year, beating out other entries in television AND feature films. It’s easy to contemplate why. The drama, subtlety, surprise turns, and razor arresting dialogue are positively Shakespearian. A pillar of the series as a whole. Also, here’s a proper model to witness for any serious writer of television drama.
Of course, the balance of this season has some dynamite episodes such as GROPOS, SOUL MATES, A Hasten THROUGH Unlit PLACES, and ACTS OF SACRIFICE.
Season Two is incredible, with even the weakest episode well worth watching. It’s a solid improvement on a perfectly pleasing inaugural season…and year three is even better!
Happy Viewing!
Now that most of the characters had a backstory, the second season of B5 ventured further into it’s 5 year tale arc interesting the war with the Shadows. Although I never really bought the romantic subplot intelligent Sheridan (I never felt that Boxleitter and Mira Furlan had remarkable chemistry as a couple), it does work well within the context of the legend. The political intrigue of season one expands to include Mars colony, the Psicorp and the usual suspects.
Boxleitter is a better actor than Michael O’Hare and he manages to bring powerful power to the role. The change in the guard (due to studio politics amongst many other things) also allowed for a richer, more indepth attend narrative for the series. Although there are a delicate piece of clunkers during this season, overall the quality is high. The third season would be where the series really hit its amble.
There are a number of very icy extras on the second region. Once again JMS does a color commentary on a couple of episodes but, more well-known, Bruce Boxleitner, Jerry Doyle and Claudia Christian provide a color commentary that is quite comical and glib on 1 key episode. I had forgotten that Melissa Gilbert did not play Sheridan’s wife in the brief footage we explore of her. Incredible how time will adjust your memory. The special features include a couple of documentaries and are of blooming great quality. There’s a original introduction by J. Michael Straczynski and Bruce Boxleitner that is bright as well.
The transfer is an improvement over the first season box location Signs and Portents. There’s level-headed quite a bit of scratches and analog artifacts. Most noticable, though is the occasional fuzzy characterize quality. This is probably due to the uncouth level lighting in some key scenes and a lack of QC when the digital compression was done. Unruffled, the overall quality is quite apt although not comparable to the Journey or DS9 report quality (particularly for seasons 4-7 with ST:TNG) .
Nevertheless, it’s nice to finally have this notable series available on DVD. The overall quality of the writing and directing is worthy and an improvement over the uneven quality of season one. The acting also took a leap forward during this pivotal season with the addition of Boxleitner and a number of strong guest turns.
