b5_revisitedRewatch for Season 2, Episode 22 – The Fall of Night
That’s all she wrote for Season 2 - Asvjs2259 says in her recap and the season ends with a bang, a prayer and the sound of beating wings.
Here are the recaps:
Dreamwidth
And
Livejournal
And a very long analysis and lots of JMS talk at The Lurker’s Guide to Babylon 5.
*
There is a lot of stuff in this episode:
*Nightwatch comes back and we see just how insidious they are becoming, especially with the reference to ‘peace in our time’ – what Chamberlain said when the UK signed a nonaggression pact with Nazi Germany. Welles is not the pretty face of Nightwatch – he’s the ugly truth of it.
*Keffler goes shadow hunting and instead is shadow fund and as JMS said, he becomes an Ex=Keffler. But the video he shot of the shadow vessel gets to ISN and maybe alerts the shadows that they’re not acting in complete secrecy anymore.
*The Centauri fire on a Narn vessel that has asked for sanctuary on B5, and B5 fires back.
*Kosh comes out of his encounter suit to save Sheridan when some Centauri bomb Sheridan’s tram. Everyone sees something different. Do any of them really see Kosh, though?
*
1. JMS promises that we will really see Kosh eventually. Do we? I don’t remember if we do.
2. Did you recognize John Vickery from his other character the first time you saw him?
3. Did you find Ivanova’s conversation with Lantze a little creepy?
4. Were you surprised that Earth decided to sign an appeasement pact?

Garibaldi's analyse of Londo is very apt. Londo is a cornered dog biting everyone who looks at him too long.
Lantz seemed like a jolly grandpa and was a, well, a conservative white straight man only willing to look after is own ass. And I'm not even gonna start with the poor man's Kyle MacLachlan.
(BTW, why didn't Epsilon 3 do anything?)
The Olive garden scene showed how Londois separate from everyone else. And he didn't say what he saw. Why? Because he didn't think he was worthy? Because he didn't really see anything. And fuck, the raging Mollari in the end of the episode reminded me of so many other raging men in power...
