OH GOD. I OFFICIALLY KNOW MORE ABOUT CENTAURI PHYSIOLOGY THAN I EVER WANTED TO KNOW.
Was that put in the episode so that we would all wish for the brainwipe machine to be real?
(Speaking of which: what voodoo did the inventor of said machine perform to trick the government into thinking it's a less harsh option than capital punishment? DOOD.)

Also, LJ died before i could post my comment on your last entry - yes, it is supposed to be confusing. I can't remember how long it takes, but the episode will be explained eventually. It might take a few seasons, but you'll get there.
Argh.
I watched some first-run episodes in S3 (I think it was S3...I was twelve, so that sounds right), but I remember so very little of the explainy bits they were doing then. I recall being bored by the whole thing because I didn't have the background. I think if I'd seen this episode in its first airing, without knowing that all would be explained later, I'd have been pissed off.

That was a weird place to get into it, but one of the characters did something in it that made me love the character forever. Plus I think B5 was my first spaceship-faring scifi show after Trek, so it was a nice switch. I then saw all of season 5 and looped around to watch all of it, including the movies. Yay for TNT reruns!
