Though I never watched the show when it originally aired, a friend of mine who taped all of Babylon 5 has managed to suck me in, and now I’m obsessed. Only problem is, he’s missing what he calls a “crucial” episode. So now I’m looking for it. I know the series is airing now on TNT and begining next month on the SciFi channel. But we figure the episode I need in order to continue my viewing in the proper sequence won’t air 'til February. God help me, I can’t wait that long. The episode I need (4.17) doesn’t appear to have been released by Warner Bros. yet. Can anyone help? vix ---

I can’t tell you exactly where to look, BUT if you know your way around the underbelly of the internet you will find places you can download entire episodes. Don’t waste your time looking on the WWW either. Get on IRC, the undernet or efnet and you will find them. CandyMan ---

I don’t know about locating the episode for you to watch, but if by 4.17 you mean the 17th episode in the fourth season, here is a link to a detailed summary of that episode. [http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/guide/083.html](http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/guide/083.html) ---

Thanks for the tips. I did read the summary on midwinter, but it’s much less satisfying than the real thing… vix ---

They are currently showing Season 5 on TNT, so 4.17 has already aired in the past two weeks or so. What is the title of 4.17? I certainly have a copy, since that is one of the programs I tape. ---

Mjollnir: The title is “The Face of the Enemy”. You’re right - it aired last week, I think, only a few days before we got cable in our new apartment. We just missed being able to tape it ourselves. vix ---

I do have that one. If you’re interested in a copy, contact me privately.
