When you look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you. ~ Nietzsche
Was this the abyss JMS meant with this episode? I think so.
So we have Delenn sending Lennier on a secret mission, one so secret she doesn’t even tell Sheridan. Why not?
The Drazi spy on Londo and it makes Vir angry. Londo actually knows nothing, but he is very proud when Vir gets angry and stands up to the Drazu who planted the bug.
G’kar gets his new eye. It’s red like his real eye.
Lennier is stranded in space with only an hour of air as a training. The other Minbari recruit does not fare as well as Lennier – his reasons for joining the Rangers were that he lost two family members who were Rangers and he felt he must carry on their work. Were Lennier’s motives better?
Michael is drunk and stupid on his floor. On this watch through, I find I have little patience for Garibaldi and his shenanigans.
And G’kar explains god and truth to his followers. And no one gets it. He then tells them what they want to hear and they’re happy. Franklin got it, though.

1. Why doesn’t Delenn send someone other than Lennier? Why keep it from Sheridan?
2. What the hell is Garibaldi’s problem?
3. What did you think of fierce Vir?
4. Just what DOES the ep title mean?
