I have to say, TNT really got it right. There's NO WAY I could have
figured out who all those characters were and how they related to each
other based on this episode. It was all too confusing! Which one was
the doctor? Was it the one they referred to as the "resident thief"?
Or was it that guy looking for artifacts? So many people to figure out
in an hour. I doubt anyone realized who the technomage was. Maybe
next time JMS will take the network's advice and stick some nametags
on these people so we can follow the story like the intelligent viewers
TNT takes us for.

Oh and the fact that the first commercial break didn't come on a crisis
but rather a resolution really threw me. I wonder how many people wandered
away thinking the episode was over.

Crusade has taught me *so* much about network TV.

</sarcasm>

Let's hope what could have been can still somehow be. If SciFi would only
give this show one year to prove itself, they would likely have a hit on
their hands. I hope they use "Racing the Night" to help make their decision.

One question a friend of mine asked upon seeing the "graveyard" - who
belongs to the round flying saucer style ships seen there and on B5?
