  SongBook / Chrysalis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Babylon 5 is one of those shows where missing one key episode can leave you clueless when watching future episodes, and Chrysalis - which first aired in October 1994 - was just such a pivotal episode.
Chrysalis includes such immortal moments as the injured Garibaldi trying to reach Sinclair to warn him about the attempt on the Earth president's life, Delenn offering to share the secret of the Battle of the Line, and the first time we see Kosh revealing his true nature to any of the other characters.
Chrysalis has turned out to be one of my favorites of the Babylon 5 episodic CD range, and I hope that, even if the first-season musical scores came up a bit shorter than even 30 minutes, Sonic Images will continue to release them, perhaps opting to pair up shorter scores on a single CD.
