I was braced for Ironheart this time and found the acting not as bad as I remembered, although selenak hits the money on the lack of chemistry between him and Talia. Garibaldi had more chemistry with her in the elevator scene.
Things that stuck with me: Susan giving Talia the water, and putting her hand on Sinclair's shoulder to keep him from throttling Bester. Does she see Talia as fellow victim now, and so begin to empathize with her? Also, altho I like the teep love-making speech, it still seems like TMI for Talia to discuss it with Sinclair. When I first watched, between that and the dinner date, I thought they had a thing going. Why does Ironheart not twig to Evil!Talia at this point, if he is able to see everything in everyone down to the atomic level? I have theories, but would like to know what others think. G'Kar telling Catherine that Sinclair is not what he appears to be. G'Kar's telling Catherine we can't communicate with the older races, only stay out of their way. Knowing that we will have to, and that we will--the audacity of humanity. Who watches the watchmen, and how that will come back to haunt them on various levels.
Lastly, I think telepaths in RL would be feared and despised, much as the show indicates; and then controlled and used if possible, exterminated if not. I'm a bit of a cynic when it comes to human nature.
