Lyta senses Kosh. Kosh is in the mind of Sheridan. Lyta blocks the presence with telepathy.
The rescue is possible because Lyta will block the team from the shadow with her mind. Ivanova broadcast a telepathic message through Lydia. The shadow hears them. The shadow know their names. The shadow everything about them. They escape because Lennier had programmed the computer to a jump point away from the eye, if he did not respond within a certain length of time.
Vir says, "as one gains power, one loses brains". Londo tells Vir, "I need a friend. I need a patriot. You are both." "Kill the emperor, Cartiga".
Sheridan takes from his two mile drop by an alien, who says, "I can see your upset I won't tell you my name".

G'Kar seeks Isaac. The star bury is found in sector 87. How did Girabaldi know where to find it.
The Minibari ambassador has been meditating and fasting for seven days. Justice is served; the fall of the alliance; Sheridan went away. Delenn harshly condemns herself, saying, "I should have love him less and trusted him more."
G'Kar considers Mr. Girabaldi his friend.

G'Kar and Marcus join as a team.
The Minibar decide to led the attack on Za ha Dum
Emperor Cartiga summons Londo and presence him a gift, G'Kar. Londo says, "thank-you". What is the price? Londo contracts with G'Kar too remove the monster from the throne and in return set G'Kars world free from occupation".
The Vorlon travel through the galaxy. The alien tells Sheridan, "Your fleeing death, step into the abyss and let go."
G'Kar is being tortured to cry out; he refuses to bow; he refuses to drink; where is the joy in silences, says Cartiga. Londo is order to make G'Kar give "just a little scream" Londo whispers in G'Kar ear, "if you are dead will you be a narn". G'Kar screams.
Vir, backtracks on his previous statement, "Remember what I said, there must be another way?" "Kill him."
The Vorlon refuse request for ships in the rescue mission; they don't care and cold hearted; Lyta complains she is used and thrown away when not needed; the next ambassador zaps Lyta.
Ivanova learns the shadow is hiding with big ships in a fold in hyperspace. 70/10/53
Sheridan returns
The war has started between the shadow and Vorlons. The Vorlon technology is superior and they start destroying worlds which host shadow. The shadow prize conflict and the Vorlons believe they are the next evolutionary link. Why the wars between the Shadow and Vorlons) On Recotta 7, 4 million people die.
Londo is terrified that Centuri Prime is host and protecting shadow ships. The emperor gone mad. "Let it all end in Fire, don't send the ships against the shadow."
Kosh was in Sheridan. Sheridan gave of himself to replenish Kosh. Lorien, the alien tell Sheridan , he may life 20 more years then he will die. Originally, the shadow killed Kosh. If the Shadow stays on Centuri Prime, billion will die. Dura 7 output has fallen.
The Emperor decides to judge G'Kar on his home world believing the trial will spread his fame to the 100 Narn planets. Cartiga has G'Kar eye plucked out.

Two dozen races work together to defeat the shadow.
Lorien reveals the universe shorted life. The first lived long lifes. Long ago, Lorien discovered both the shadow and Vorlon races. Lorien comments, "we have lived to long", "left love and joy", "those with short life can know love is eternal", "you must understand yourself out of this - you can not use force."
The Vorlon planet kill is within range of Corrionda.
Londo believe he is the key to saving Centuri Prime and must die. The shadow representatives head is put on a stick and Vir makes faces at him. Centuri Prime is not destroyed.
The Vorlon consider the shadow a disease. The planet killer is a technology to destroy Za Ha Dum. The Vorlon stands for order. Vorlons believe in evolution. Vorlon control idealogy. "Who are you?", "What do you want?", "How can you guide us?" , "We can find our own way!" The Vorlon follow a 1,000 year cycle of intervention. The Vorlon are the failed guardians. The Universe belongs to the younger races.
Sheridan asks, "Did we just win?" The Vorlon and shadow respond, "This is yours. Teach the race" The Vorlon and Shadow will step aside and allow the younger races to find their destiny.

Description of Babylon 5: The Complete Fourth SeasonPlatform: DVD MOVIE Publisher: WARNER BROTHERS Packaging: RETAIL BOX Rating: NOT RATED The future begins - or ends - here and now. Here is the huge space station Babylon 5. Now is the fateful year 2261. Commander John Sheridan has already declared the station free breaking the ties between it and Earth Alliance. It was perhaps only a matter of time before he would have to fight to remain free. That time has come in this complete 22-episode fourth-season adventure presented on six discs and featuring an exciting array of exclusive extras.DVD Features:Available Subtitles: English Spanish FrenchAvailable Audio Tracks: English (Dolby Digital 5.1)22 episodes with all-new widescreen transfers and remastered soundtrack 3 with cast & crew commentaryIntroduction by series creator J.

If this colossal narrative was resolved a little too easily and the ultimate aim of the Shadows turned out to be a tad disappointing, it still proved to be the most powerful slice of space opera to ever grace the small screen. In the aftermath the sheer scale dropped back a little but the pace never slowed as the rest of the season played out in one relentless cycle of conspiracy, betrayal and conflict, Babylon 5 siding with the rebel Mars colony against the totalitarian Earth. Meanwhile Delenn came increasingly into conflict with her own people and, paralleling her relationship with Sheridan, Garibaldi became involved with his ex-fiancée Lise Hampton (Denise Gentile), while an intense platonic love grew between Ivanova and Marcus Cole. On an unstoppable wave fuelled by roller-coaster plot twists and spectacular action shows from "No Surrender, No Retreat"--when Sheridan avows to overthrow EarthGov--to "Rising Star"--when the aim is realized--Babylon 5 achieved a consistent excellence rare in television. Yet within that run "Intersections in Real Time" stood out as a bold experiment; essentially a two-hand drama taking place entirely within one dimly lit room. Beyond this a major character died and Sheridan and Delenn married before the season finale again broke with expectation. In "The Deconstruction of Falling Stars," a future descendant of humanity one million years hence reviews excerpts from the history of Babylon 5. In one sequence set in 2762, a Brother is devoted to the preserving of history some time after the "Big Burn." A homage to Walter M. Miller's classic A Canticle for Leibowitz, Sheridan and Delenn have themselves become the stuff of legend. --Gary S. Dalkin
