Story: Between the Darkness and the Light
Written By: J. Michael Straczynski
Season: 4
What a kick ass episode that almost had me in tears near the end. I mean this one runs the gamut of action and emotion. Garibaldi is still on Mars and he attempts to get his innocence projected to the Mars Resistance, they come, but don’t believe him and take him underground. Franklin and Lyta are still there and Franklin is given the chance to kill him, but he wants to hear Garibaldi’s side first. Garibaldi explains Bester and the conditioning, but no one really wants to hear it, so Lyta scans him, and finds he is telling the truth. The three then stage a rescue mission. And successfully rescue Sheridan, though he certainly isn’t looking at Garibaldi in a good light.
Ivanova is currently leading the fleet, and they capture one guy who claims that not all who have defected to their side have truly defected, and that Clark knows of their next plan, which is to free Mars. He suggests that some big ships they don’t know of called Destroyers (Earth ships using Shadow technology) will be waiting. Ivanova decides the best course of action is to take in the White Stars only, they are more maneuverable and this way Clark can’t just destroy the Earth ships and claim it was all aliens. They go in, and the kick some ass, Claudia Christian gives one hell of a speech, and they seem to win it. Then their White Star gets hit with debris and Ivanova is seriously injured...like three days to a week left to live injured. Fuck.
Ivanova requests that Sheridan take back Earth from his old ship the Agamemnon, and he honors that request...and the fleet, including Earth ships, White Starts, and ships from every race (something Londo and G’Kar arranged with the non-aligned worlds) head on towards Planet Earth.
