alexcatRewatch 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.
The recaps are here:
Dreamwidth
Livejournal
And an analysis at The Lurker’s Guide to Babylon 5

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?
