I am killjoy and hate the teddy bear/shop plotline. It seemed to 4th wall breaking (with the stabs at Star Trek). I was glad when they stopped making so many references to other shows. Be who you are; stop worrying about everybody else.

I wish I understood what Kosh was doing with the music. It was a lovely scene, but Kosh's motives are so opaque and so focused on his goal that I wish I understood what this served.

To be honest, I'm still not sure what it was we were meant to be seeing. Holograms?

Agreed. In retrospect, a lot of Kosh's actions make sense, but not this one. Unless he just wanted to cheer Sheridan up. Vorlons aren't the hugging type.

I think it was a projection from Kosh's brain, maybe? That was my guess.

I feel like I keep harping on this poor episode with this same charge, but it has the ring to me of "generic cryptic character does something cryptic" where Kosh is the Magical Vorlon.

For which he demands payment in the form of uniform doodads?

Yes, that puts it nicely.

He gave up his rank! I am willing to give the episode credit for cool foreshadowing on that bit.

I TOTALLY DIDN'T SPOT THAT! *claps*
