Andy and Van would like to offer you a sandwich. It's a nice sandwich. Just enough mustard. You know, the brown kind, not the yellow kind. Also, they will only tell the complete truth to you this episode. Never mind the Drazi in the hood over there. It's Intersections in Real Time!

Three times. Three times Mars has tried to kill Andy and Van. Not to mention Michael Garibaldi. And don't even get us started on Stephen and the telepaths. It's an unusual episode this week, and a tour de force for Jerry Doyle. It's "The Exercise of Vital Powers!"

Andy and Van try to prevent the Minbari Civil War by defending Ft Sumter from... no, wait, that's not it. They try to convince the Non-Aligned Worlds to let White Stars patrol their borders because absolutely nothing happened in sector whatever today! Yeah! It's another "slow burn" episode as Season 4 ramps back up!
