Dare I suggest that the entire Garibaldi plot this season existed purely to provide an excuse to use “Duck Amuck” here to represent Garibaldi’s situation?
Going to agree with the general consensus on Lise – I don’t dislike her, but I don’t really care about her either. She’s rather dull and forgettable, and the show doesn’t do much with what little there is about her of interest. (Is her daughter ever mentioned again?) Throw in that Garibaldi isn’t that interesting a character either, and the fact that we haven’t actually seen what their relationship was like anyway and, well, it’s hard to care that much. And are we seriously meant to believe she didn’t marry Edgars purely for the money? Because, hell, I’d actually have more respect for her if that was the reason.
I am amused that the choice of flashbacks here doesn’t just restablish who Lise is, it also reminds us that Garibaldi left the woman he ‘was going to marry, once upon a time’ to be with Sinclair…
The Zathras scene goes on a little too long, I think, especially since he’s never mentioned again.
Kind of interesting that the Centauri have legends of the Drakh – I wonder if G’Kar and Londo ever got the chance to compare notes about what each of their cultures recorded about the last Shadow war…
