Season 1, Episode 22: The Joining
Original Air Date: 11 May 1998
An excavation team unleashes a very dangerous Taelon on
Earth. Siobhan Beckett comes over to America. She suspects
Lili of being a spy and investigates.
The first season offered Babylon 5 storytelling quality.
Rich characters, even characters who you think of in
terms of good/bad, black/white, will throw you for a
curve. The main character, Boone, begins his journey
into the Taelon mystery with a clear delineation of the
Taelons as "bad guys" only to discover that Taelon/human
relations are much more "shades of grey" filled with
individual (human and Taelon) agendas.
All of which is tossed out beginning season two for
a straight forward good human, bad Taelon, let the
fighting begin and "oh yeah can the women of the
show wear tighter sweaters and shirts?" Welcome
to late 90s syndication sci-fi/fantasy storytelling.
Keep it simple, keep it sexy.
Rather than ranting on; I'll merely offer you a single
season one episode, "Sandoval's Run". Watch that
Sandoval character in that episode versus the schemer
and megalomaniac they turn him into in the later
seasons. Season one Sandoval is a much more
interesting character versus the one dimensional
"bad guy" he turns into.
I remember back in the beginning of the season
two days, a bunch of us fan boys and girls threw
a fit on the usenet group over the simpler storytelling
(dumbed down) the show descended into only to
be told by a show rep the the creators were worried
the season one storytelling complexities would chase
new viewers off in later seasons who didn't follow it
from the beginning. Well the new direction chased
me off.
If you saw later seasons and didn't like it or thought
it just never lived up to its full potential, try season
one. I love it so much I bought it...
...but only season one.
