Babylon 5: "The Corps is Mother, The Corps Is Father"

Guest review by Cutter of the Mo'Abla'Haret

In "The Corps is Mother, the Corps is Father", in the fifth season of the show, a telepath was being hunted down by his organization for murder. It turned out that he was a Multiple, and one of his alters was murdering people with his psychic abilities, which were much stronger than that of the host.

This wasn't all bad since for a minute, the doctor on the show explained how multiplicity works and that different personalities have their own distinctive abilities, medical problems, etc. By the conclusion of the episode it was also found that the unstable 'alter' who did the murders was trained to kill by the organization the telepath belonged to, and went AWOL.

They also did not make references to creation of Multiplicity by abuse. They left it open.

Though it kept up with the stereotype of Multiple, it seemed to only be for the purposes of a suspenseful episode. They otherwise did fine.
