Which I might add was far worse than even the X-Files has been in its
current death throes.

Exactly. I started losing interest in the X-Files once Babylon 5 started
getting good. The sheer difference between a writer who was actually
writing a *story* and a writer who was just *writing*, with no intent of it
ever makign sense or being self-consistent was overwhelming.

The whole episode was nearly unbearable, since they more or less gave away
the ending in the opening sequence. And how is it that these guys managed
to jump from Washington to Newartk six times in the course of a day! Has
any of the writers actually tried *driving* I-95 past Baltimore on a
weekday? Eh, didn't think so..... And since when do hotels have
drop-down fire doors? Give me a break.
