Something Special about this Episode?
As of writing, this episode is the only episode of the first two seasons of Bablyon 5 not to be available on Hulu. I assume that this is probably because there is some "intellectual property" used during the episode that they were unable to obtain clearance for internet streaming (Loony Toons?). Not having seen it, I'm not sure what the reason would be. Whatever the reason, if there is something special about this episode that caused the absence from Hulu (IP reasons, objections of an actor, loss/destruction of the film master, etc.), it's probably worth noting in the article. -- 76.201.154.138 (talk) 17:30, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
First episode filmed?
A production note in this article says it was the first episode filmed. A production note in Soul Hunter says that episode was the first episode produced. What's the difference? --Captain Infinity (talk) 13:52, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
- This episode was the first to complete its shooting schedule. However, it was not fully produced (i.e. completed post-production, a.k.a. "in the can") until later; Soul Hunter was the first one in the can. --146.6.208.14 (talk) 16:36, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
Weakest Episode?
This could be the weakest episode of the first season.
"Often cited"? Citation needed. I agree with the above that there are much worse episodes across the series, and
"'Infection' is definitely not indicative of the season overall; that is, in my view, one of our weaker, possibly weakest episodes [of Season 1]." "Sorry; there's no one more critical of my work than me, and when it comes to 'Infection,' I'd just kinda prefer it if it kinda vanished in the night. I feel that way about only two episodes out of 22, so that's not too bad, I suppose." "The problem with 'Infection' from a writing POV is that it was the FIRST one written for this season, and I was having a hard time finding the 'fingerprint' of the characters again after so much time had passed after the pilot (it was nearly a year between the revising/ shooting of the pilot, and the writing of the first series script). As on *any* show, it takes a while to get up to speed once you hit series. That was the real problem, and there wasn't any real way to get past it except to write it, re-acquaint myself with the characters, and move on. I probably would have opted out of doing it had we had more scripts on hand, but we didn't. And oddly, many on the production team *liked* the script quite a lot, and kept saying it had to be done." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.114.124.8 (talk) 08:44, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
