This is one of those reverberating titles...I am wracking my brain trying to remember the episode where Sheridan tells Delenn about his time lost in a flyer, where he is All Alone in the Night?
This episode is a major turning point for Delenn and a pivotal moment for Lennier. Alea iacta est. The die is cast. He, they, have staked their position and turned their back on authority, which, for a Minbari, is huge. The Grey Council has laid out their position; against prophecy, against Valen, against Delenn. They are so going to be on the wrong side of history. Neroon, baby, you are making such an error. General Hague also has staked a position. Sheridan too, when asked by Hague. The B5 command staff, when asked by Sheridan. Each is making the decision, feeling alone, yet finding support when they ask. I like this episode!
The dream seemed like JMS stoking the fire more than a true prophecy. He throws these things in to give us something to debate. I did wonder, this time, at Kosh's use of the word 'man' for the Man In Between. Maybe that turns it away from Lorien. Did the Vorlons know Lorien was on Z'ha'dum? I can't remember. So I have seen theories that the Man is: Lorien, Justin, the interrogator, Bester, Kosh himself, Sinclair...I'm probably forgetting some!
Why is Sheridan is a PsiCop outfit? The veil seems to indicate prophecy (the Centauri telepaths, I think Lady Morella, Delenn in Londo's dream, Susan here). And what about the dove???
