Aww, this is one of my favorite episodes! I don't have a whole lot to add, just that the black flower the assassin leaves confused me to no end when I finally got to "Passing through Gethsemane," since I immediately assumed it was the same deal, and I couldn't figure out what the Narn would have against some monk.

I love how varied the designs are for the Centauri figures--the god of the underworld looks like those little gargoyle statues you buy in souvenir shops, while Li looks faintly Hindu in design (the pose, mostly). Which might just mean they were buying whatever props looked vaguely apropriate and spray-painting them gold or something, but I like it.
