    Lennier! Na'Toth! Catherine Sakai!

    (This space held for my full post as I write and watch today)

    Ok so it took a few days.

    This is one of those episodes where everything is relevant to the long term plot. Or at least it's relevant in the long term.

    We now have Satai Delenn and former Narn council member G'Kar. Who isn't one of the most important people on their planet here? (Answer, the humans, the attachés, probably Londo)

    He's one with his inner self
    -He's passed out
    That too

    The goddess Li on Londo's table appears to have both male and female sex characteristics. I don't recall if that's ever addressed elsewhere but I love that attention to detail.

    Sinclair isn't smooth. Ivanova doesn't have any bangers but is having fun. And someone got married, maybe.

    I appreciate how Sinclair was like "we don't have planetary religion, meet everyone." Which doesn't really demonstrate anything but it's nice not to have humanity flattened.

    Male Minbari get pokier head bones than female Minbari. Lennier is played by Bill Mumy of Lost in Space and omg he's 72 years old now.

      I actually got moved seeing that long line of religious leaders, all of humanity represented. When they were standing outside, I was sure Sinclair was going to demonstrate the tenets of atheism...

      I actually got moved seeing that long line of religious leaders, all of humanity represented. When they were standing outside, I was sure Sinclair was going to demonstrate the tenets of atheism and explain how science had replaced religion, or something along those lines. That would have been disrespectful though, after their guests demonstrated their ancient traditions and beliefs. I'm sure there was an hours-long Q&A session after, with possibilities of demonstrating rituals and explaining doctrines.

        It's one of my favorite and most memorable moments from the first season. I do think it's funny they didn't have a way to peace-bond blades, but B5 is just trying its best.

        I remember that conversation just not about the goddess!
