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?
*jaw drops*
But of course! 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…
True. Clearly, we needed the reminder of Garibaldi's romantic priorities. :)
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…
I've seen it suggested that the Centauri were Shadow allies back in the day as well, but then the Vorlons would not have bothered to modify their gene pool, and in s5 when Lyta has her flashback we see a Centauri baby as well. Otoh, I wouldn't exclude the possibility that Cartagia wasn't the first Emperor to assume he can become a god via the back-up of some superbeings. But to answer your question, I think they could have talked about that when they were stuck together in a cell on Centauri Prime in late s5...
