Andy & Van reach the big finale of Season 2--and what a finale it is!! Kosh brings an Inquisitor to the station--and he's got quite a past! And then, to quote the Captain, everything goes "straight to hell!" with The Fall of Night. (But it's the thought that counts.) Two of the biggest and best episodes yet!
