Re: Palantir - forgot to say that Ivanova's encounter with the Shadows is one of the most blatant LotR homages of the entire show, though I was thinking less of the Palantirs than of Frodo looking into Galadriel's mirror.

The Sigma 957 First Ones in Lorien's role: that would have been fabulous.

There should be a competition as to who is worst in covering up secret meetings. The Army of Light is high up there, but Vir, bless him, asking Londo in front of the Imperial Guards "do you think they know?" is also a candidate.:)
