Buy This Item Babylon 5 - The Quality of Mercy Chrysalis by Warner Home Video  Available from Amazon  $9.98  on 9-20-2008     In "Quality of Mercy" Dr. Franklin (Stephen Biggs) stumbles upon Dr. Rosen (June Lockhart) using an alien device for healing in Downbelow's Brown Sector; a device used as a means of capital punishment for condemned prisoners. Meanwhile Security Chief Garibaldi (Jerry Doyle) asks resident telepath Talia Winters (Andrea Thompson) to probe the mind of a condemned prisoner. And Ambassador Mollari (Peter Jurasik) takes Lennier (Bill Mumy) under his wing, showing him some of Babylon 5's rough edges. In "Chrysalis" Garibaldi uncovers a dark Earth Alliance conspiracy which will have important implications for what follows in subsequent seasons of Babylon 5. Ambassador Delenn (Mira Furlan) begins a startling transformation. Ambassador Mollari starts his descent into hell as he makes a deal with Mr. Morden (Eric Wasser) which will have dire consequences for himself, the Centauri Republic and the Narns. Without a doubt, in this final episode of Season 1 are ample signs and portents of what will follow shortly in the Babylon 5 saga. Reader Reviews What can one say for a Hugo winner episode? Apart for the great directing, acting and special effects, the "Coming of the Shadows" triggers the series of events that will lead the heroes to the Shadow War. Bringing in mind an Ancient Greek Tragedy, where the characters are driven by powers beyond their will, this episode evolves around Centauri Emperor Tourchan. A really tragic figure, he comes to B5 to ask forgiveness for old sins. But those sins drug him down and he dies before he has the chance to save his people's future. Mollari, a puppet of his Dark allies, makes sure of that. Meanwhile, G'car tries to act honourably, whatever that may cost. And in the heart of the events the Vorlon ambassador foretells the End: "In fire." After the first superb episode, it's hard to evaluate on "Gropos". This episode is not bad, however, compared to the previous one may seem boring. This is hardly the case. It is a decent story of good men and women who went to their deaths in a faraway planet, for reasons they may never know. In the meantime, the station has the chance to get armed for the war at hand and Dr. Franklin confronts his father. The highlight of the series. Don't miss it.
