- You would think that more people would be able to recognise a Dilgar on sight.
- I like Jha’dur – she’s portrayed with the causual arrogance and sense of superior arrogance that really convinces you that this woman would wipe out entire species without any qualms.
- “Those few left after the invasion died when their sun went nova”? It seems unlikely that a species capable of invading and occupying other star systems would be unable to evacuate their homeworld in the event of a nova… unless the Dilgar War was their attempt to evacuate. Would explain why there were apparently few left on the homeworld after the war.
- I wonder who G’Kar’s blood oaths are against.
- Not sure if it’s intentional continuity, but it makes sense to assume the Grey Council member in Delenn’s quarters at the end of the last episode was there to inform her of whatever called her away in this episode.
- It occurs to me that Jha’dur may be misrepresenting the scale of her achievement. An immortality serum is a little hard to believe in – the Minbari and Centauri don’t have one, after all. But we don’t know she has one – all we know is that she’s apparently stoped her aging for a decade or two. And her goal isn’t to improve people’s lives – it’s to see her enemies turn on each other. Wouldn’t it be an even more delicious revenge if, after every race has slaughtered each other in pursuit of immortality, it turned out her discovery only prevents aging for a few dozen years?
- Of course, it’s also possible that Jha’dur had outside assistance in helping her develop… what she wanted.
- “Drazi Freehold” is an unusual name for a state. A ‘freehold’ is land that is permanently held by the owner, as opposed to leaseholds. For the Drazi to use this as the name of their territory implies they wish to emphasise that aspect of it; did they at one point only lease their planets from another power?
- Have we ever seen an ‘Ikshar’ in person? I don’t think we ever see that ship design again.
- Hey, how come Jha’dur gets to keep her Minbari ship? Shouldn’t she be being taken away on an Earth transport? And how does a Vorlon warship miss the first shot at point blank range?
- You know what – speaking as someone who only upgraded to a digital recorder last week… I’m not convinced the term ‘VCR’ is going to stick around for centuries.
