Editorial Reviews
From the back cover
OF ROYALTY AND WARRIORS! Welcome, interstellar travelers! Take a break from your star-flung journeys with two episodes from the first season of Babylon 5. BORN TO THE PURPLE -- When it comes to political manipulations, Centauri ambassador Londo Mollari (Peter Jurasik) knows where the skeletons are buried. His collection of "purple files" holds scandalous secrets about his planet's royal families. When it comes to love, however, even wily Londo may fall victim to a plan to seduce those hush-hush tales from him. INFECTION -- Smuggled aboard the station: remnants of living machines. Unending peril comes aboard, too, when a human infected by contraband (Marshall Teague) morphs into a perfect, pre-programmed warrior with an ancient mission: wipe out all imperfect beings. A quarter-of-a-million aliens and humans are on the station. And each is suddenly a target.

2.0 out of 5 stars One average, one terrible episode, September 18, 1999
By Colin R. Glassey (Bay Area, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Born to the Purple is just an average episode, featuring Londo and a rather pretty slave girl who is part of a plot. Its an ok episode. Not great.

Infection however, this is a bad one. One of the worst of Season 1. Terrible plot, very obvious Star Trek influences on this one (bad machine reactivates and the Captain out reasons it to destroy it). Remind you of the "Nomad" episode? Infection is right down at the bottom of episodes along with "Grail". There are many better B5 episodes than this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not the best, but still fun to watch., January 10, 2001
By "werecat99" (Athens, GR Greece) - See all my reviews
'Born to the Purple' shows us the tender side of the Centauri Ambassador Mollari, as expressed through his feelings for Adira. It is a very good episode and Adira, although we never see her again, is a catalyst in the third Season. 'Infection' plays with the human primal fear of alien infestation and transforming into the "other". I thought it was kind of sad, actually, since the alien was the last of its kind and carried the guilt of its race extinction.
