In one of the finest episodes of the series, JMS gives Sheridan and an EarthGov interrogator the David Mamet treatment. A game of mental chess played through exhaustion dances through assertions of freedom and order, truth and facade. Can Sheridan say "No, you won't" one more time than they say "Yes, you will"? Find out this week on Jumpgate!

Sheridan, exhausted and in the iron grip of Plot Necessities, heads to Mars on Garibaldi's word that his father has been captured. After a really cool bar fight scene, so is Sheridan. Meanwhile Edgars indulges in a monologue, Bester wins the day, and we can't WAIT to see what comes next, this week on Jumpgate!

Mars. Three times we've visited on this show, and three times, nothing good has come of it... except for Franklin, who got laid. I never thought there'd be any more stories to tell here, but Edgars proved us all wrong. I hope our fans can see that... someday. Murder and betrayal are thick in the domes tonight. Thicker than this prose... thicker than the plot of this episode. And when Sheridan tells Franklin of his plans for the psyche-sicles, his apprehension is heavier than a telepath at an Anime convention. There's a million podcasts on the naked internet. And Jumpgate is one of 'em.

Pushed to the breaking point by Clarke's attacks on civilian vessels, Sheridan brings the remaining Whitestar fleet to bear on human battleships blockading Proxima colony, which is held under the thumb of the criminal president's repressive executive orders. Engaging their own people is fraught with risk though, as the game changes from Chess, to Poker, to an MMA cage match in space! Mutinee! Explosions! Reversals! Oh, yeah, and Garibaldi leaves B5 to head to Mars for a pow-wow with Edgars, or something. This week on Jumpgate!

Vorlan-Enhanced Telepath Lyta Alexander finds herself long on powers and short on cash. Enter Al Bester with a deal: Re-join PsyCorps and give us your corpse (eventually), and rake in a hefty paycheck. Meanwhile on Minbar, Delenn enters the Starfire Wheel, and stares down the Warrior caste with the steely gaze of pure righteous conviction. Will Neroon save the day? Will Zach EVER be comfortable? Just how badly did Bester scramble Garibaldi's brains? Find out, this week on Jumpgate!
