Glad to get more insight on the Rangers, and especially Marcus (being one of the main characters seen regularly on the show). Also nice to see a different side of the Minbari Warrior Class. Good episode.

A lot of macho posturing and a STUPID subplot starring Freddy Kruger!
planktonrules8 January 2007
Warning: Spoilers
This episode stank and unfortunately, it followed another episode that stank! This is too bad, but might be because just before that was a great two-part episode--maybe there was just a natural let-up as Straczynski must have been too tired to put the usual care and genius into these two shows.
The first plot, while full of tons of machismo and posturing, isn't all that bad as it does advance the series and helps explain how she solidified her role as the new head of the Rangers. However, the second plot was just awful, as Garibaldi finds that there is a hidden level in the station where a weird cult lives that worships a dangerous monster. The cult is led by Robert Englund (the guy who played Freddy Kruger), and in this role as the prophet "Jeremiah", he is all rolling eyes, over-acting and nonsense! In fact, his acting made his Kruger character seem subtle in comparison!!! Ultimately, Garibaldi is able to escape from the hidden level and rejoin the rest of the crew. Unfortunately, he also kills the awful monster that Englund and the rest of the cult worshiped so it didn't get a chance to kill them and eliminate the possibility this group of nuts would return!
