Date: 2009-05-26 09:38 pm (UTC)--Some comments of Delenn's that I particularly liked in this one include her distinction between "unreasonable" and "angry" when discussing G'Kar with Londo, and her description of Humans as "a mass of contradictions." Just you wait, hon, you ain't seen nothin' yet.
--When Sinclair tells Pierce of the (fictitious) need for a jamming device, and Pierce asks why he wasn't told about this, Sinclair's response, "You didn't ask," is Very Minbari.
--We get to see some nice positive aspects of Londo, which are increasingly few and far betweem in later seasons.
--Apparently, Draal taught Delenn that "a half truth is the worst kind of lie." Seems like she likes to ignore this one, from time to time.
--The planet has a Prime Directive!
--If I suddenly saw an image appear before me of an alien saying "Help me," I would probably tell someone. This falls under the "Don't you people watch the show?" category of nitpick, in which characters do (or don't do) things that anyone watching the show knows are a mistake.
--Another bit of the "sneaky Delenn" seen here. Someone without a sneaky side probably would not have participated in the little outing she and Londo took Draal on, and certainly wouldn't have busted Varn out of sickbay. Whoops, wrong show - I mean medlab.
--At the end of part II, when Garibaldi is told "Sinclair's destiny lies elsewhere," why didn't that statement raise Garibaldi's eminently raisable eyebrows even a little?
