"Day of the Dead" – Babylon 5, Season 5, Episode 8

On a mysterious holiday celebrated by the Brakiri species, Babylon 5 transforms into a supernatural crossroads where the veil between life and death grows thin. The station becomes a gathering place for spectral visions of long-dead characters, returning not as phantoms, but as vivid, sentient echoes of those who once called Babylon 5 home.

As crew members encounter lost friends, lovers, and even enemies—from Susan Ivanova to Jeffrey Sinclair—emotions run high and unresolved pasts rise to the surface. Some apparitions offer comforting closure, bringing peace to lingering grief. Others arrive with cryptic warnings or unanswered questions, reopening old wounds and stirring deep emotional turmoil.

But as the boundary between worlds weakens, so too does the station’s stability. Strange malfunctions, eerie occurrences, and psychological distress threaten to plunge Babylon 5 into chaos. With reality itself seeming to unravel, Captain John Sheridan and the remaining crew must confront their deepest regrets and greatest losses—not just to honor the past, but to save the future.

The fight for the future of telepathy ignites on Babylon 5. Lyta Alexander, now fully allied with Byron's colony, uncovers the buried, brutal genesis of their powers—a secret that fuels their radical declaration of independence: "Never again." Their rebellion unfolds in shadow as Dr. Stephen Franklin, working to save the dying Hyach species, stumbles upon a genocidal truth so damning that those who hide it are willing to kill to keep it silent. Two discoveries, two souls one fighting for liberation, the other for survival, converge in an episode where revealing the past becomes the most deadly act of all.

In this episode, we dive into Season 5's "Strange Relations," where Captain Elizabeth Lochley faces a trial by fire. With the station rocked by multiple crises, she must navigate a treacherous political maze: a mysterious assassin targets Ambassador Lando, the rogue telepath colony comes under threat from a returning Bester, and a obsessed Garibaldi digs too deep into Lochley's past. Will she uphold Sheridan's promises or bow to Earthforce authority? We review and break down this pivotal episode that tests the very foundation of the new Babylon 5.
