    Delenn bossing Sinclair around. Are ambassadors considered higher tank than station commanders? I guess maybe she sees him as a representative of Earth's warrior caste, and she doesn't seem too fond of her own people's warrior caste. "Let us hope they never again agree, in our lifetime", that's kinda ominous. I guess we'll learn more over time about what happened the last time.

    Tentacle monster! Didn't know I was watching that kind of anime. That was fun though, cool monster.

    "His grandfather abducted my grandfather", that is pretty damn funny! Silly though. I'm curious if those aliens will be relevant later, or if it was just a one-off gag.

    Good to see we haven't given up on finding the holy grail yet. As Aldus says, maybe the search is more important than the finding.

    Londo stealing drinks, that's petty, but it's also on brand.

    So Kosh thinks it's good to make people nervous. Maybe his kind isn't so different from us after all.

    "If you hear nothing, worry." Garibaldi, you dick.

    That was a good episode. :-)

      Ooh you caught up and I forgot to post here!

      This is one that I enjoy but don't find a lot of commentary for so I'll snag some comments from JMS.

      Christy Marx wrote most of this episode, but the trial was written by JMS. It took about a week to render the Feeder.

      JMS talks about not wanting Kosh to sound like a fortune cookie but that it's ultimately more unsettling when he speaks a single word... "Why". "Good"
      Maybe there are reasons to be afraid of Vorlons.

      No boom?
      No boom.
      No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow.

      What! Somebody's got to have some perspective around here!

    No new episode on Clipzone today, and since there's still active discussion here, I'm willing to postpone a week on a new thread.
