b5_revisitedSeason 1, Episode 7 – The War Prayer
This is one of D.C Fontana’s episodes and it could easily take place in the US today. We have hate groups and crazy militias ready to take things in their own hands and the biggest problem is that our friends and neighbors are often the monsters. Susan finds o9ut what that is like with an old boyfriend.
Here is a recap of this episode: https://b5-revisited.dreamwidth.org/87266.html
Delenn’s friend Mayan:
Vir’s love birds and the most wonderful of Londo’s quotes:
Something my father said. He was old, very old at the time. I went into his room, and he was sitting alone in the dark crying. So, I asked him what was wrong, and he said, "My shoes are too tight. But, it doesn't matter, because I have forgotten how to dance." I never understood what that meant until now. My shoes are too tight. And, I have forgotten how to dance.
For some reason, I didn’t even remember this one at all when I went to rewatch it, though I think it’s another sign of things to come, both on B5 and in reality.
The name came from a Mark Twain story that was not published until after his death: The War Prayer. There is an excerpt in the recap.

She's a consummate professional who values her job over everything and then she goes out with her ex looking like that? It's not exactly in character to me? Or was she supposed to seem desperate?
