It'll be very difficult to do this episode justice because it is without doubt one of the best -if not the best - in the season. Just for starters, I love the plot with G'Kar and the assassin, which though it's basically comic relief, does a nice job not only of filling in more details about Narn culture but also of 'humanising' G'Kar. He's not yet past the stage of being the 'villain' but this episode adds layers to him, and Julie Caitlin Brown is splendid as Na'Toth.

I think I saw someone say on a previous post that they didn't see any chemistry between Sinclair and Catherine Sakai, but I have to disagree. I think they have loads. I love Catherine and am very sorry that we never got an end to the Sinclair/Catherine story onscreen. I've read the novel written by JMS's wife, but unfortunately cannot remember the story and don't know how it was resolved, but that line of hers to Sinclair, "Don't touch me unless you mean it," still sends chills down my spine. Over the years, I'd forgotten who said that and it was a revelation to hear to it again. I felt their relationship was very believable.

Which segues in to the Minbari religious ceremony scene, because there's no doubt in my mind that at this point Sinclair and Delenn were meant to end up a couple. They go through a marriage ceremony in this episode. I can't believe that wasn't meant to mean something. I like Sheridan very much, but one thing this rewatch has really brought home to me is how much JMS's original ideas were messed about by the constant coming and going of various actors - in this case, not Michael O'Hare's fault, as I understand it.

The Centauri religious ceremony is completely hilarious. Peter Jurasik is at his absolute best as early season Comedy Londo. Wonderful, wonderful stuff. In fact, the only quibble I have with the episode is that in the long parade of Earth religions at the end, my own is not included.
