I love these episodes because they showcase what a master storyteller JMS is. The return of Sinclair, the future scenes on Centauri Prime that we don't understand until seasons later, the scenes from an earlier season that we get to understand now. He weaves them beautifully.

And, as a J/D fan, I was excited about that kiss. The one that didn't really count. I am willing to bet that JMS got a sadistic kick out of doing that to the fans. And we loved him for it.

That kiss! How could I forget to mention that. That scene was so well played. Bruce did a great job showing Sheridan's confusion, surprise and elation. The kiss had just the right amount of desperation to it. It was the best kiss we got from them. I also thought the idea of backlighting the scene made it seem that much more surreal.
