Rewatch for Season 2, Episode 22 - The Fall of Night

Rewatch for Season 2, Episode 22 – The Fall of Night

That’s all she wrote for Season 2 - As [personal profile] vjs2259 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?
