PS. Since it's been ages that anyone's posted any episode-related fanworks, I'm retiring the separate fanworks posts, and so if you have any fanworks about the episode of the week, leave the links to this post.

And the big confusion to me is that they stopped the war because Sinclair had Minbari DNA and now it's because they know he'd Valen? Does not work for me and never did.

I really enjoyed seeing Londo... even as a beaten and defeated old man, he still had his biting wit about him and his love for Centauri Prime. It does make a good scene filler movie for sure thought to see it as a series beginner would spoil some of the main story lines and would confuse the watcher about much that they see later.

I would have liked to see more Sinclair too since he was actually so important to the Minbari anyway. Sheridan as hero actually does come off as an afterthought though I will say that Bruce was good as the young officer.

Did anyone notice that Robin Atkins Downes played Morann? I had not noticed this before. There are many actors who I see in this series that I see in the Star Trek spinoffs too. I rather like trying to figure out where I've seen this one or that one while I'm watching.

Yeah, and if I recall correctly, he played the same character in "Atonement" too. Since both ItB and "Atonement" were filmed before S5, I guess we can thank his performance here for the fact that he was cast as Byron :D

LOL! I think he makes a much better Minbari! We all know how I love Teeps!
