alexcatRewatch for Season 2, Episode 9 – The Coming of Shadows
The skies are darkening over Babylon 5!
Read the recaps here: Dreamwidth and Livejournal.
Read the inside story at The Lurker’s Guide to Babylon 5.
For Londo, this one is the tipping point and he knows it. But it’s also a turning point for G’kar and perhaps for Sheridan as well.
The elderly (and as it turns out, dying) Centauri Emperor comes to Babylon 5.
He bids his Prime Minster goodbye and takes two of his telepaths. Refa is in league with others to make sure the old man is discredited and his nephew is placed on the throne and he asks Londo to join in this conspiracy. Londo goes him one better and has Morden have the Shadows attack the Narn colony in sector 14.
G’kar decides kill the old man and is thwarted when he collapses.
The Narn declare war on the Centauri.
The emperor dies.
And Garibaldi gets a visitor sent from someone he knows…
Oh, did I mention Londo’s visions?
*
1. Did you think the mystery visitor was good or bad when you first saw him?
2. What did you think of the old emperor?
3. Did you understand when you saw this one the first time how important this episode was?
4. What did you think about Londo’s dreams? Go read JMS’ comment about the dream… it’s kind of creepy.
