Although these Season 5 episodes are not as finely written as others, they are still an hour and a half of compelling series television drama. In "Secrets of the Soul" Byron (Robin Atkin Downes) learns the awful truth from Lyta Alexander (Patricia Tallman) regarding the origins of human telepaths. And Dr. Franklin (Richard Biggs) makes a gruesome discovery regarding Hyach history; one which almost costs him his life. "In the Kingdom of the Blind" Byron makes a desperate gamble to persuade the Interstellar Alliance into granting his people a world of their own, free from persecution from the Psi Corps and mundane humans. Meanwhile Londo Mollari (Peter Jurasik) and G'Kar (Andreas Katsulas) return to Centauri Prime, finding some tantalizing clues to evil lurking behind the scenes at the royal court.

Let's face it...most of the telepath episodes of B5 are awesome and this one is no exception. It deals with the origins of telepaths and leads Byron and his group to a more aggressive push for a homeworld. Also Londo and G'kar return to Centauri Prime. I believe this is the first time they've been back since they helped to overthrow the government. A great buy.
