Of all the episodes of B5, Believers is the one I have most trouble with. Not that it's a bad episode, it's just that I really don't like Franklin's behaviour in it.

I actually won't watch it despite the ham sandwich ships I love so much in the B story.

No consequences for the Doctor who ignored his client's wishes?! I think not.

How about trying to convince them you've got a special SoulNet (tm) that'll hold the soul safely inside while you operate...worth a try, and it could have been an ecumenical effort between all the religions there. But no, Franklin tramples over all the sensitivities and gets away with it.

Got a religious problem? Try a religious solution! Sheesh. Those poor people were going all over the station hoping for help to prevent Dr from de souling their kid, and did they get it? No. And they should have. Pfft.

Felt a bit railroady for the sake of the narrative.
