And on another note...
This one's fun to play with, by putting in your friends' names. I kind of like the one where the worshippers are "Only one - but it's Bill Gates" myself. :->
And finally, notes on the last episode of Babylon 5, season 1. Note that spoilers in here start with a review of a major plot of the episode and go on from there...
Episode 22 - Chrysalis
A LOT happens in this one. There’s the plot to kill Santiago during the five planet goodwill tour from first vague hint through Garibaldi’s searching out of the plot to his finally uncovering of it, getting shot in the back by his own number 2, making it out to the main station and delivering the message by main force of will… all too late as Earth Force one blows up before everybody’s eyes courtesy ISN. Without the VP, who just happened to exit with a “virus infection” at the last stop. Stonewalling back home when Sinclair tries to report it. Politics...
Side note - accomplishing things by sheer force of will is a theme that pops up many times in the series (witness for example the resolution of Franklin's walkabout much later.)
Sinclair proposes, Catherine accepts, the decision is announced to Garibaldi and Ivanova just before all Hell breaks loose.
50 Centauri gods - “Nibbled to death by… cats.”
The return of Morden, meets Londo in the all so appropriate hedge maze - a place you can get lost on easily, and never know who or what is right around the corner. Londo seen as having “great potential”. For what not specified. Morden offers to have his associates “fix” Quadrant 37, price a vaguely referenced favor in the future. In one of the most significant acts in the series, Londo accepts the offer, or maybe does not reject it would be a better description. But later he tells the homeworld that he will “take care of” Quadrant 37. Acceptance.
Delenn asked Kosh something, what as yet unspecified. He said “Yes”. She visits him. We see light reflected off her face, hear what sounds like a slow wing flap. She takes this as confirmation (presumably of the return of the Shadows and of the nature of the Vorlons).
Delenn goes to see Sinclair, shows him the triluminary which sparks memories, asks him to visit her in her quarters. But circumstances keep him away for too long. The Chrysalis machine is finished, the process started, Valen’s prophecy underway. (And when we know Valen’s identity, this becomes nicely ironic.)
G’kar and his kinky taste in ladyfriends. Sinclair’s attempt to mediate between Narns and Centauri turned down He warns G’kar that they are standing at a crossroads and it is time to choose. But the wrong pathway is chosen, and though G’kar recognizes this by the end of the episode it is already too late to go back.
Similarly, Londo is appalled by what the Shadows have done to “take care” of the problem, namely destroying the station and killing the 10,000 Narns therein. But… maybe not appalled enough. Great plans, oh yes.
PPGs have internal indelible serial numbers. The one Garibaldi took from the suspect did not. Usually this sort of PPG is issued to government agents.
Garibaldi’s number 2 disposes of the witnesses, with an implied cover of being pissed at them for shooting Garibaldi and covering *that* by saying they pulled a gun on him.
We see the Shadows vague presence for the first time, talking to Morden. The first time I saw that I couldn’t quite make out what they looked like, just the impression something was there. This time, when I know what Shadows are supposed to look like, it was much clearer. Again, the theme of this episode: “Nothing’s the same”.
And we finish with the image of Lennier and the candle, half in shadow/half in light. In many ways a portent for the future.
