meteordustI love time travel stuff, so I really appreciated this episode. I loved all the stuff about being unstuck in time and the flashbacks and flashforwards.
* I knew that Babylon 4 - the station that went missing - was going to show up at some point. (Not sure if through osmosis or just story promises.) I wasn't expecting it to be in Season 1, but I'm happy to take it. (And I guess it was hinted that this might not be its last appearance?)
* Colour coding! I love that Babylon 5 is blue and Babylon 4 is green. Makes me think of LJ and DW.
* Why are mysterious figures in spacesuits so sinister? Is it because they're faceless and silent? It feels like they pop up all the time in media, and it was effective here. Loved that it turned out to be future!Sinclair under the helmet, looking all haggard and desperate. Great ominous foreshadowing.
