    Too true - though my favorite B5 episode was the one where they had
    'the Telepath's song' (season 5, episode 6 - the clip is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yECUU16dXuE) at the end of the
    episode. The best part was where I think it was Patricia Tallman
    removes her B5 insignia.

    Not too many TV shows brought tears to my eyes but that one did
    especially as one knew what was about to happen. Even though Byron was
    a control freak you just knew what was coming.

    Great episode but when it comes to songs in B5 it's pretty tough
    to beat Londo Molari's rendition of the hokey-pokey.

    Ugh, I hated that season and Bryan was one of the reasons.
