Just finished “Over There”.

It’s better. Not great, or even really good, but I wouldn’t brand it DNPIM like “Over Here”.

The first part of the episode was pure filler, though. Lookee, President Sheridan still hates ISN reporters. This matters how? And, he’s old, yes, but that doesn’t mean he has to ramble uninterestingly like a semi-senile great-grandpa. Also, you don’t have to explain your jokes. We can imagine that most Pak’Ma’Ra jokes are just like the one you told, thanks.

It helped a lot that Galen was in the episode. Apparently, JMS hasn’t forgotten how to write that character.

SPOILERS

I was terrified that the ending was going to be “Sheridan gives the techno-mage a lesson in morality”, and that it was going to be left there that Galen fully intended for him to kill the prince. I am very glad that, as always, the techno-mage was pulling the strings all along. 🙂
