Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis takes place in June 2258.
- GoofsIt makes no sense that the operation would require an incision. Dr. Franklin would have figured out a way to remove the growth by endoscopic surgery through Shon's mouth/throat. The religious beliefs of the parents seem to rest on not treating the humanoid body in the same manner as food animals, which are prepared by cutting the skin.

Featured review
Amazing
How people can give six and one star reviews just because the contents of the episode don't match up to their expectations, rather than judging it objectively, is astounding to me. This is a spectacular episode, full of intriguing points and ideas, with a serious dilemma coursing through the entire length of it. Excellent emotional performances (especially that of the good doctor and the commander) bring to fruition a truly heartfelt and gripping episode. I don't know whether there is a God as we know it, or there isn't one. What I do know, is that this is an excellent showing of Babylon 5. One among many.
