Rewatch for Season 3, Episode 13 – A Late Delivery from Avalon

Sorry that this one is late but I had my head somewhere odd last week and I never managed to get it out. So you get two for one today as the next will follow.

We meet Arthur as he departs a transport. He is carrying a large sword and is stopped when he comes aboard. Of course, romantic Marcus wants to believe is really Arthur, a late delivery from Avalon, but alas, he is a gunner from the Earth/Minbari war who suffers so badly from PTSD that he has taken on the persona of a king who came to save his world.

Michael York was lovely as Arthur and I almost wished he were, after all, they gave us Jack the Ripper. Why not Arthur?

Of course, Delenn had to be the one to take his sword and offer him the absolution he needed for his horrible guilt.

This episode was full of delightful little tidbits: Arthur sent to the Narn resistance, Marcus telling us about the Ranger emblem and its name, etc.

1. What was your favorite Arthurian Legend moment?
2. Your take on the Garibaldi/post office scene?
3. Did you, like me, hope he really was Arthur?

Hi! Can I just say that I love the Arthurian myths and also love attempts to bring them into the current time or into the future? Also that Michael York is yummy? This is another Marcus episode, as well as a Stephen episode. The Garibaldi back-story I find annoying and a wee bit appalling. Abuse of his office, just a little? Stephen's behavior I also find appalling although it sheds more light on the single-mindedness of his character (or should I say stubbornness). The scenes with Arthur and G'Kar are a joy. Marcus and Stephen are also good togther whether serious or light-hearted. All in all a rather good filler episode, with a little background on the Rangers and the Earth-Minbari War, and some ramifications for Our Arc.
