Another episode that was surprisingly better than I remembered, though it has some embarrassing moments, notably Sinclair's awful Generic Villain laugh in the scene where he's undercover with Londo in the bar.

However, where it scores is in what it reveals to us about Centauri culture and the value Centauris place on prestige and title, because of course that will all feed in later in the way Morden tempts Londo.

I thought it was a pretty believable exercise in world building.

The scenes with Ivanova and her father are great too and really open out her character, even though she remains so repressed and hard on the surface.
