Bombings

Story: Convictions

Written By: J. Michael Straczynski

Season: 3

A series of bombings disrupts life on the station and put everyone on edge.  No one knows who is putting the bombs out there, but they don’t seem to be for any kind of political retribution, since they seem to target everyone, and are only put in places that seem to attack the largest number of people, with no discretion made for who is being hurt. 

It’s a solid thriller/action episode that builds up nicely and pays off with a great scene between the lunatic bomber and Sheridan.  There are snippets here and there of arc stuff, like the Narn and Centauri both blaming the others for the attacks, and it seems as if we may see Brother Theo and his monks again (they ask to come live on the station so they can talk to all races and discover all the names of God).  The Monks also come in handy in finding the bomber, as they use their patience and attention to detail to scour the security camera footage to find someone at all of the bomb sites.  

Solid episode, it entertains even though it isn’t big on arc stuff.
