kayshaperoI really should get back to this now that the season of scampering in twelve directions is over.
(Well, more or less - I've got plumbers tomorrow, the car to go in for service on Friday...)
Episode 21 - The Quality of Mercy
Centuari anatomy - “Touch this”. To be explained by the end of the episode... :->
Dr. Franklin’s clinic - not the last time we’ll see him fudging the rules slightly for a greater goal. He’s a true healer, witness also what happens when he finds out Laura Rosen’s machine *works*.
The appaling Mr. Karl Edward Muller, mass murderer and thorough sicko. Something about the punishments of the day - the sentence is mindwipe. The mind is destroyed and reprogrammed. A death sentence, but not quite as nowadays.
Laura Rosen and the alien execution device, being used to heal, though at a cost to the user. This thingie will figure more than once in future episodes, starting a couple of eps into the next season. Laura’s daughter explaining things to Dr. Franklin, and Laura’s history regarding stims is downright spooky when you consider what Dr. Franklin will be going through later.
Londo gives Lennier the Grand Tour - partially with ulterior motives to be sure since look who winds up paying for it. Londo is paying for it with boredom until Lennier mentions his skills with probability. The card game. Londo using one of his, er, personal tentacles to cheat. Centauri aren’t as humanoid as perhaps we thought; the males have six.
A telepath to read the mind of the criminal before mindwipe. Yuck… poor Talia. Her comment “Terrible things that live inside us.” Given what’s going to happen to her in the future this is all the more ironic.
The Minbari consider it an honor to help another save face. We’ll see this again. (Mind you, Lennier’s honor will prove considerably more flexible than he has any idea of yet.)
The device “could save a life when nothing else works…” Just wait. For Garibaldi, and much later for Ivanova...
