[edit] Plot synopsis
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
The crew visits a planet once home to a civilisation wiped out by the same plague as the one the Drakh left on Earth. They are surprised to find all the buildings still perfectly intact, but then motion is detected in the ancient city.^
This episode was planned to be the actual pilot of the series (after A Call to Arms), but since TNT interfered in the production, a new pilot was produced and this one appeared to be the 9th Episode by airdate-order.
[edit] Arc Significance
- Gideon's apocalypse box is seen and it is seen that he is getting its help in deciding future mission targets.
[edit] Trivia
- This episode was intended to be the first in sequence by JMS.
