Not much to add, except Garibaldi's exhortation to Sinclair about his death wish didn't do much good, did it? Risking the top two commanding officers on the station in a dicey clandestine operation like that?

Does this introduction to B5 lead the Abbai ambassador to distrust the human's intentions, as I think I remember her demonstrating in Deathwalker?

I thought Mayan's question to Delenn was very poignant; 'do you ever regret the choices you have made?' And I love their relationship.

We spend a great deal of time fast forward, reversing, and freeze-frame exploring Susan's quarters, kitchen accessories, artwork, and knick-knacks. I simply love the interior decoration on this show. Every place is personal, and unique, and appropriately and interestingly decorated.
