Out in the vastness of space—nowhere near a final frontier or a galaxy far away—lies a port of call and refuge for humans, aliens, and nerds alike. It's the setting for a pilot movie and one of the most successful science fiction television franchises of the 1990s. The name of the place is Babylon 5. Within this space station nexus of galactic civilizations, a council of ambassador representatives wait in eager anticipation for the arrival of the final alien race to join their interstellar coalition. But fresh out of the airlock, they find their visitor on his back and poisoned with foul play as the motive, which finger of blame spins and points to the earth leader of the station, Commander Sinclair. That leaves his chief security officer and the rest of his crew burdened with the task of figuring out who the real culprit is before Sinclair is shipped off-station to an alien armada for their own brand of space justice.  And before that begins, we get another head-scratching round of TV Trivia Time with the repeated theme of finding redemption; and, that occurs about the same time  Sammy the cat rubs against the mic stands for about a 60 seconds, starting from the 2:00 minute mark of the episode.
