Story: The Long Dark
Written By: Scott Frost
Season: 2
A seemingly mad individual comes on board B5 and is spouting about an evil that has arrived. Meanwhile the crew finds an old Earth ship and finds a cryogenically frozen woman on board (in a scene that just smacks of "Space Seed" from Star Trek). Her husband didn't survive the trip, and it seems he had been murdered somehow. The evil the mad man speaks of turns out to be more real than anyone thought.
This was a solid horror episode about a creepy invisible monster that steals people's organs and kills easily. Dwight Schultz gives a nice guest appearance as the mad man Amis, and the foreshadowing at the end that this monster seemed to be on a course for where the growing army they'd been warned about earlier in the season seemed to be. They think it is not a coincidence, something bad is on the horizon.
So I'd call this a solid entry. A decent sci-fi horror episode which does a little bit of work for the major season arc in the build-up to war.
